Topic: Metamodern Spirituality and Archaic Futurism

Presenters: Layman Pascal

Layman Pascal is the facilitator of the Metamodern Spirituality Labs that last week’s guest, Brendan Graham Dempsey, hosts at Sky Meadow.  In May, 2024 Layman curated an experiential, interactive presentation on the topic of  “Archaic Futurism” for the ICON Conference in Denver. For our Cobb and Friends gathering, he’d like to expand on this topic and bring it to a process-oriented audience. His presenter information for that conference describes him this way:  “Layman Pascal used to be a Canadian meditation teacher, yoga instructor & philosopher of Integral Metatheory, but he’s feeling much better now.”  He does things like: lead the Metamodern Spirituality Retreats, host the Integral Stage podcast, and provide unique online courses. Layman specializes in metashamanics, the metaphysics of adjacency, nondualist theology, developmental theory, sacred naturalism, psychotechnologies, and cultivating human religious instincts suited to a post-postmodern civilization facing numerous accelerating and converging crises. He is also the author of Gurdjieff for a Time Between Worlds: Hyperpersonal Essays on the Grandfather of Metamodern Spirituality, published by Sky Meadow Press. 

Layman has also conversed with/interviewed a number of important voices in our process community, including Matt Segall and Andrew Davis.  A portion of our Cobb & Friends conversation will include a brief interview by Jared Morningstar, Communications Director serving the Cobb Institute and the Center for Process Studies.
