今天跟大家分享一個為期十天的線上課程「Political Hope」，老師是我最喜歡的作者Charles Eisenstein，在8月3日至8月12日期間是免費的。連結：https://bit.ly/2CV1ARr
課程的主旨是：我們心中都知道一個更美好、更有愛的世界是有可能的，但是當全球政治局面越來越兩極化，很容易使人憤世嫉俗或落入絕望（每天看新聞十分鐘應該就可以感受到）。並且，我們或許想成為社會變革的推手，但在這麼做的同時卻沒有檢視自己心中隱藏的各種假設和制約，導致我們其實無法有效為這個世界的療癒服務。
Charles說：「這不是一堂傳統的政治議題課程，不會讓你正魔人的一面感覺良好，而會幫你培養同理心；不會讓你更篤定，而會讓你更謙虛；不會讓你更能辯，而會讓你更有智慧；不會讓你贏過『敵方』，而會幫你療癒各方之間的分歧。」
身為這次課程的推廣合作方，我自己也不會錯過的（他先前的每一堂課我都上過）。期待之後和大家一起交流討論心得！

I'd like to share a course called “Political Hope” with you, hosted by one of my favorite authors Friends of Charles Eisenstein: https://bit.ly/2CV1ARr (The course is FREE from Aug 3 - Aug 12).
The basic idea is that we all know a more beautiful, more loving world is possible, but as political polarization has grown so extreme, it’s tempting to succumb to cynicism or despair. It’s too easy to forget hope. Or we may want to enact change, but fail to examine the very hidden assumptions and conditioning in us that prevent us from being effective agents who truly serve the healing of this world.
In Charles’ words, “This course is not about conventional political issues. It won't stoke your righteousness; it will stoke your compassion. It won't boost your certainty; it will boost your humility. It won't sharpen your rhetoric; it will sharpen your intelligence. It won't help you win victory over the other side; it will help you heal divisions among all sides."
I’m helping him spread the word as an affiliated partner, and will be taking the course myself, too. Look forward to discussing and reflecting on it together soon!
