Dreams and REM sleep: The key to understanding mental health

About this event

Beyond Fear and Tribalism: Conscience in Uncertain Times Format: Presentation & Discussion Doors: 6.30pm Event: 7pm - 9pm In an increasingly polarised world, we can easily find ourselves trapped in moral and political conflicts with family, friends, colleagues and even strangers online. With strong emotions locking our attention, how do we get better at understanding other people’s moral points of view? How do we recognise and work with our own blind spots or fixed ideas? Could the answer lie in a recognition that stages in our moral development are shaped by our needs to feel safe, valued, heard and to belong? Can this knowledge help us to understand other people's behaviour and, indeed, our own? This evening with Ezra Hewing (Suffolk mind) explores how to reach beyond our own emotional needs, towards a liberated conscience which is not ruled by our own biases. We will explore: The needs behind our moral development The evolutionary value of conscience Navigating relationships within polarised communities Establishing a moral footing amongst competing versions of reality
