AWCIC - Learn and Share: Whole Intelligence

Humans have tended in recent years to become more biased towards a cognitive way of interpreting the world, relying on logic and rationality as a means for making sense of what they see, experience, and develop knowledge from.

This has led to a ‘dumbing down’ of our other innate creative abilities that we all have access to and often fail to recognise, let alone tap into, on a regular basis. This session provides an exploration into these abilities.
