“Little Feelings”

Continuum offers a container to explore “little feelings,” (‘glimmers, hunches, insights) that begin as subtle stirrings of sensation in the soma — the organism’s initial responses at the biological level to what’s going on in the environment, transformed through cognition into feelings that reach our awareness. It is the role of affect system to amplify our “little feelings,” which begin as a whisper and gain more ‘volume’ until they reach a threshold that calls attention to those “big feelings” we know all too well. If we can consciously join this process further upstream, tuning into “little feelings” early on, we have a better chance of “getting to know our silence in a way that is friendly,” as Emilie Conrad wrote. Our capacity to feel, setting humanity apart from AI, brings us closer to an understanding of the next wave of our evolution as a species. Gatherings are interactive with opportunities for dialogue and taking our inquiries into a dive.

“As AI continues to simulate the “thinking” we associate with logic and language and numbers, what might become of our ‘silent’ ways of knowing—the hunch, the gesture, the fluidity of meaning prior to insight -- the undercurrents of the poetry of living.” Gary David
