Dr. Marc Gafni is a visionary thinker, social activist, and passionate philosopher. He is known for his “source code teachings,” including Unique Self theory, the Five Selves, the Amorous Cosmos, A Politics of Evolutionary Love, A Return to Eros and Digital Intimacy. He is author of over twenty-five books, including the award-winning Your Unique Self: The Radical Path to Personal Enlightenment. He holds a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University, as well as Orthodox rabbinic ordination.

He teaches on the cutting edge of philosophy and spirit in the West, with the aim of participating in the articulation of what Dr. Gafni together with Dr. Zak Stein and colleagues are calling CosmoErotic Humanism. At the core of CosmoErotic Humanism is what Dr. Gafni and Dr. Stein are calling ‘First Principles and First Values,’ Anthro-Ontology and a “Universal Grammar of Value.” This shared story rooted in First Principles and First Values can then serve as the matrix for a global ethos for a global civilization.

Dr. Gafni is the Co-Founder and Co-President of the Office for the Future, the Center for World Religion and Philosophy and the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. At the core of their shared missions is the articulation and delivery into culture of a Great Library - in multiple forms - which participates in evolving the source code of consciousness and culture in response to the Meta Crisis.

In the early 20th Century, Georges Ivanovich Gurdjieff brought an ancient system of personal transformation to the western world known as the ‘Fourth Way’ or the ‘Work’. He claimed that this system was the source of all spiritual traditions and now adapted for the modern world. Its focus is on the individual and community to understand the energies and forces of their nature through direct experience. In doing so, it would become possible to contact a different order of reality that can deepen the experience of life. Gurdjieff was clear that it is the most difficult work that anyone can undertake, but also the most productive. It calls for relentless authentic questioning and a discipline of special efforts that can enable a quality of relationship that nothing else can give. Gurdjieff affirmed that a sustained work of this kind would accelerate the necessary transformation of men and women to meet the demands of a responsible life while fulfilling their essential purpose. Join Luke Behncke in practically exploring some of the tenets of the Work on Gurdjieff’s Fourth Way - THE HARD WAY - from the Parallax Academy. Live sessions will be recorded, and participants will have access to a video of each recorded class. Participants will have one-on-one interviews with the instructor.

Brendan Graham Dempsey is a writer, poet, farmer, and the director of

Sky Meadow Institute, an organization dedicated to promoting

systems-based thinking about the things that matter most.

He holds a BA in religious studies from the University of Vermont and a

master's in religion and art from Yale University. He is the author of

the 7-volume Metamodern Spirituality Series and, most recently,

Metamodernism: Or, The Cultural Logic of Cultural Logics. His primary

interests include theorizing developments in culture after

postmodernism, productively bridging the divide between science and

spirituality, and developing sustainable systems for life to flourish.

All of these lead through the paradigms of emergence and complexity,

which inform all of his work.

Tomas Björkman is an entrepreneur and financier, and has over the past

25 years built innovative international companies in the areas of

banking and real estate. His entrepreneurship combined with a keen

interest in both society and science led to the creation of the the

Ekskäret Foundation in 2008.

Tomas himself describes in the forewords of the book ‘Changing the world

we create’ why he started and is still very involved in foundation:

“In my twenties, I had the choice between an academic career in

theoretical physics or the world of commerce. I chose the latter and

spent twenty-five years in business. Eventually, I sold my company to

one of Switzerland’s larger banks continuing for a time to serve on its

board. But the call of the world of ideas was irresistible.

My background in theoretical physics and as an entrepreneur in

information technology, investment banking and property development had

allowed me to learn about and view our existence from both theoretical

and empirical perspectives. My personal drive increasingly became to

unlock the hidden structures of the world around me. I sought to bridge

many academic fields including cognitive neuroscience, developmental

psychology and sociology. I started searching for connections that form

the evolving whole.

This curiosity led me to spend a decade researching and writing “The

World We Create”. I also established the Ekskäret Foundation to

facilitate the co-creation of a more conscious society.
