SUMMARY:Knowledge: Decentering the Self
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 3rd event of our series\n\nThe Freedom of Letting Go: Time, Space and Knowledge Explorations\nwith Ignacio Ercole\n \nThis series of talks are based on Time, Space, and Knowledge Vision guided by the unifying theme of letting go. Often, we hold too tightly to the grip of linear time, the solidity of fixed boundaries, or the certainty of a self-centered knowledge. These habits and points of views shape how we experience the world and how we limit “our own” freedom. Through guided reflections, silent practice, and explorations with music and sound, each session opens a new way of being. The series culminates in an integration and discussions of these insights, revealing how the act of letting go helps open us into wholeness, creativity, and deeper connection.\nKnowledge: Decentering the Self\nWe often live as if the “self” owns knowledge and experience. A self that continually is striving to acquire, defend, or control experience. But when this ownership is released, we discover that there is nothing to grasp and nothing to prove. Knowledge does not belong to us; it shines through our participation in life itself. With this freedom from anxious grasping, we become both more independent and more connected: immune to outside pressures, yet deeply sensitive to the needs of others, because their reality is inseparable from ours. This decentered way of knowing opens a natural confidence and attentiveness, allowing us to live moment by moment with clarity, openness, and care.\nWho is this for?\nThis series is for those seeking a fresh, secular vision of authentic ways of living, people who are not satisfied with easy, ready-made answers but who long for a deep yet playful approach to complement their journey of transformation. Instead of centering on “the self,” these talks invite a shift toward experience, relation, and presence. Each session offers an exploratory approach, where participants are encouraged to embody meaningful questions that open new ways of seeing the world. It is a welcoming introduction for those curious about the TSK vision, as well as a rich continuation for those already familiar with it and wishing to deepen practice in a more creative, artistic, and experiential way.\nDate and Time\nWednesday, March 18th, 2026, 5:00-6:00pm PT\nThis series will be offered once a month starting in January and ending in April (4 sessions)\nLocation\n2210 Harold Way, Berkeley, CA 94704\nPrice\nThis event is FREE and open to the public!\n
