Why remember and study Dionysus? In this clip, curator of our upcoming online course Dionysus: Ritual, Rave, Revolution, Chiara Baldini, sha
Chiara Baldini is currently running a gorgeous, image-saturated course for ADVAYA.LIFE on Dionysus: Rave, Ritual and Revolution.
She delves into the mythological, historical and anthropological dimensions of the Dionysian cult, a cultural lineage that accompanied Western history since primordial times. One that defines our identity in deep resonance with other non-Western cultures and can support us in rediscovering meaningful aspects of European and, more specifically, Mediterranean indigeneity.
This is part of her PhD work at the California Institute for Integral Studies and a longtime fascination of hers.
XLE.LIFE's Kai Altmann is enrolled and enthralled in the course as a guest.
ADVAYA.LIFE offers regular free webinars, paid courses and meetup events, with a primary hub in London. Focusing on ideas around spirituality, culture, history and theory, they present comparative lectures and exploratory discussions on pressing de-colonial and holistic issues, featuring some of the world's leading thinkers on the topics. Vandana Shiva and Timothy Morton have been recent presenters!
