Poetics of Science: Inspiration
The first of three seminar weekends at the Chisholme Institute offering interactive presentations and workshops with speakers from diverse backgrounds including literature, Buddhism, psychology, art, the greater ecumenism, and music, as well as films and music nights.
Event Description
The compelling idea that inspired The Poetics of Science seminar weekends is inspiration itself. Inspiration is the creative, inexhaustible source through which the human reality can be directly known, be it through the science of the physical universe explored as an object, or through the embodied discovery of the hidden, interior realm of the heart.

Full programme information and details of speakers.
*STEMS are a ‘Cinematic’, Post-Rock, Neo-Classical band, currently performing with four musicians: 2 violins, a cello and a guitar. The band was formed in 2011 with the idea of seeking a new relationship between experimental guitar and classical instruments, to create music with the energy of avant-garde rock music but with elongated and intense structures of Western and Indian classical music.
