The Twelve Functions
A Four-Part Workshop
Our psychology is composed of four independent minds, each processing experience in its own way. These four are further subdivided into three divisions, yielding twelve distinct modes of psychological operation. In this gathering, we superimpose this twelvefold structure onto Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper, where the twelve disciples are arranged in four groups of three, using his presentation as a visual key to unlock the understanding of how our psychology operates.
Identification | Attachment
A Three-Part Workshop
Identification is one of the most pervasive and limiting features of our psychology. It occurs when we become wholly absorbed in whatever captures our attention, losing ourselves in the process. This abandonment of our sense of self is diametrically opposed to self-remembering. Self-remembering is precisely the attempt to experience both the ‘I’ and the ‘here’ of ‘I am here.’ We cannot remember ourselves without confronting identification, and we cannot confront identification without fully understanding its manifestation in our daily actions. Confronting this dilemma will be the aim of this 3-day workshop.
Ancient Schools and the Transmission of Knowledge
A Four-Part Workshop
Every generation inherits the accumulated wisdom of those that preceded it, but knowledge transmitted through time is subject to natural decay. What was once alive and flexible gradually hardens into dogma, losing its capacity to transform those who encounter it. To counteract this process, every age must take upon itself the responsibility of formulating a fresh expression of these ancient truths. This is not only a historical phenomenon. The same process unfolds within each of us: our own understanding is equally susceptible to crystallization, and the only antidote is to continually return and reexamine what we have already verified. This four-day workshop traces that recurring pattern as it unfolds in the Judeo-Christian tradition — and invites us to recognize it in ourselves.
