reclaiming our innocence
contact
What is it about an infant that disarms us all? Most of us would say it in one word: Innocence. What is it about innocence that suggests that its pursuit has become the Holy Grail for modern thinkers? Michael, in his RECLAIMING YOUR INNOCENCE multi-media presentation, delineates the characteristics that make up innocence and how to reclaim it for ourselves…once again. The infant and child are in a constant state of mapping their universes. Their environment is in a continuous state of unfolding and newness as neurons are fanning over all points of their brain. They are not seeing things ‘as if’ for the first time. They are simply constellating their lives, the information in it, and the accompanying sensory impressions actually for the first time. And they are experiencing it rather than thinking about it. In this state: The being is in a state of wonder The mind is in a state of expansion How can we, as adults, actualize wonder and expansion in our lives without acting like children? Michael shows us how we can reclaim our innocence by, of all things, taking the next step toward what can only and paradoxically be our own adult maturity. How we can trick the brain into doing things differently and literally experience everyday events for the first time. How we can deconstruct limiting belief sets that chain us to the perception that “I’ve done this before, so I can predict its outcome.” How learning a new language; laughing more, and playing more can make our brains supple and flexible again. How to employ various art forms to get our neurons firing down new and uncharted neural pathways. With live songs, and video of children talking about that mysterious moment when a child becomes an adult and what gets lost in the transition…we walk away uplifted and inspired to rewire our thoughts and reawaken to a world around us with a heightened sense of aliveness. Michael’s infectious enthusiasm is enough to open us to a new way of being all by itself.
