In these short series, John will dive into dialogue with a guest interlocutor on the intersections of their work. Across multiple conversations, these exchanges introduce alternative perspectives on cognition, philosophy and spirituality.

John conducts a Lectern-only Q&A once a month to answer both pre-submitted and live questions. You can gain access to the Live Q&As via the post in the “General Announcements” section and recordings of past sessions via the “Q&As” in your Membership Tab. 

At the end of each term, John will conduct a seminar session to reflect on and integrate course material through Q&A with both students from the courses and members of The Lectern. These sessions function as a nexus point to consolidate existing arguments and formulate new questions for future courses.

This 8-week online course will explore the imaginal as a way of knowing aspects of reality that are otherwise inaccessible to us. You will learn how the imagination unlocks creativity, enhances meaning, unveils the depths of spirituality and bridges the realms of perception and reason.
