COURSE II: Complexity – Systems Thinking

This lesson seeks to expand and deepen an appreciation of the mystery and complexity of living systems. First, it is acknowledged that approaching the human body through limited, mechanical models can have serious and damaging consequences manifest in the epidemic of iatrogenesis (death by medical intervention). Seeking to layer complexity into our understanding a short course in systems theory is explored. We then look at different ways of beholding the mysterious, dynamic and ever-evolving patterns manifest in life, concluding with a contemplation of form and sound.
