PROUT Weekend Gathering November 12-13th

An ad hoc group of PROUTists, spanning organizational affiliations, held a summer solstice gathering at Dharmalaya in Eugene for a weekend program. It was so inspiring, they are planning to host at least three gatherings a year! The next one is Nov. 12-13th again at Dharmalaya. Accommodations and food provided.

These gatherings provide an opportunity for people interested in PROUT’s visionary approach to explore topics and have discussions that are of immediate relevance and to nurture supportive community.

If you are interested in attending in person or on zoom, and want more information please contact Ravi Logan.

PROUT’s Theory of History 

Instructor: Ravi Logan

Course details: 2-part course

Class description: PROUT offers a new theory of history, one that provides empowering insights for those who want to understand historical dynamics so they can revitalize the progressive movement of society. In this time of planetary transformation, the insights provided by PROUT’s theory of history are particularly valuable. In this short survey course, we will cover the topics of collective psychology, the systaltic movement of societies, the rotation of social classes in position of social dominance, the concept of progress, and the methodology for bringing evolutionary and revolutionary change. We will also look at the six factors that are essential to sustaining civilizations. Supplemental readings will be provided for those who wish additional learning resources.

Winter 2023 Learning Communities

In addition to our courses, we also offer learning communities. A learning community is a regular gathering of people who share a common interest and want to deepen their knowledge on that topic together. Rather than a teacher, a facilitator will guide these sessions so that the learning process can be collaborative. Each learning community will meet for 4 to 6 weeks weeks.

Ayurveda and Yogic Life

4 weeks in January

Facilitator: Kaverii Blocklinger

Description: facilitated group learning community

Interested in learning about Ayurveda and how to incorporate it into a yogic lifestyle? Join our learning community! Topics may include: elements in nature, bringing balance and greater health, how the seasons, cycle of the day and phases of life help us understand how to care for ourselves, the five flavors and how to incorporate these into our meals. Together we will create a community that will support us moving towards the healthiest version of ourselves.

NEW ON TEACHABLE:

Teachable gives participants the option to take on-demand courses at their own pace. We now have 14 classes up on the platform covering a variety of topics.

This class looks at some of the long-standing philosophical debates that are resolved in P. R. Sarkar’s philosophical treatise, Ananda Sutram. P. R. Sarkar’s philosophy provides deep insights that enable resolution of the apparent contradictions between idealism and materialism, action and detachment, monism and dualism, relative and absolute views on ethics, development and sustainability, science and mysticism, and personal and political approaches to liberation. In this class, we will focus on questions of cosmology and ontology as discussed in the first two chapters of Ananda Sutram.

This session will be taught by Ravi Logan and will focus mainly on spiritual philosophy. Jason Schreiner will teach a follow up course, focusing mainly on social philosophy.

Ananda Seva's Arts Committee, headed up by Acharya Gayatri, is teaming up with Charly Swing and ArtCity to create ways to incorporate art into the service of the houseless population in Eugene. More exciting news coming soon! This month we have a beautiful offering from Kirana from the Arts for Inspiration and Renewal facebook page.
