Thematic Meeting. Captured by an Image of Relationships
Welcome to our upcoming thematic meeting for SIS members. In our last session, we delved into determining the value of relationships. This time, we’ll explore the captivating nature of visual imagery and its impact on us.
During our session, we watched a film depicting a beautiful romantic relationship. Initially, it seemed unremarkable; we simply enjoyed ourselves. However, the aftermath revealed a deeper impact — a fascination with the images we witnessed and the subsequent feeling of ‘I will never have it like that.’ Once ensnared by such captivating images, we find ourselves detached from real relationships, our suffering disconnected from them. What purpose do these images serve? Why are we so easily captured by them? And how can we learn to recognize this entrapment and resist it, drawing from the realities of our relationships?
Our thematic meetings strive to cultivate an environment of togetherness, inspiration, and open communication, fostering mutual support among participants. We’re happy to have Oleg Bokachev as our expert speaker for this session.
Format: Zoom online conference.
Time: 06:00–09:00 UTC/GMT +2.
