Being in Sync with Others

The meeting will focus on the phenomenon of 'being in sync' with others. We will present the scientific model of the neurobiological basis of intersubjectivity, touching on the mirror neurons and the 'between two brains' research. We will talk about how the dharma values this and develops (through mindfulness) intimacy and a sense of a 'participatory universe' as a basis for acting in the world. There will be several practical exercises that explore how the interpersonal space can be narrowed or expanded. We will inquire together how the sense of resonating with and sensing others is a basis for ethics.
