This event is Hosted by Nichol Chase and Notable Guests from the Lotus Institute.
Is wisdom an immutable essence that only some possess, or can it be cultivated?
In this online series, Nichol Chase will engage in deep and meaningful conversations about cultivating wisdom through healing trauma, self-mastery, and building meaningful relationships. Dr. Daniel Siegel will join Nichol to discuss mindfulness through the lens of Interpersonal Neurobiology. Mahshid Hager, LCSW, will join to discuss movement through the lens of Somatic Experiencing. And Tracy Stackhouse will join to discuss music through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory.
Throughout millennia, some have described desirable human characteristics or gifts as immutable essences that are hard to train and require innate potential. In spite of this, empirical research has revealed that expert abilities, gifts or even wisdom are greatly influenced by the environment – which suggests that leaders are not born, they are also made. In the paper Wisdom and how to cultivate it, Igor Grossman suggests, “The emerging evidence begins to suggest that from a constructivist point of view, the potential for wise thinking emerged in the interaction of the person and their environment. It is up to us to realize this potential through the ways we view the self, the situation, and the world around us.”
Throughout the series, Nichol will talk about the Wisdom Building Method framework she developed during her time as a Garrison Institute Fellow. It draws upon the scientific disciplines of Interpersonal Neurobiology, Somatic Experiencing and the Polyvagal Theory to inspire healing engagement through practice.
