A friend of ours is teaching a class in Brooklyn, NY this summer on starting your own religion. It sounds amazing. If you or anyone you know lives in the area and is interested in this sort of off-the-wall revelry, do sign up quick, as this might fill up soon. The class will take place on four Mondays beginning June 28th. To enroll click here. See below for the description.
Start a New Religion
While some perceive it as a pathetically static monoculture of oppression, religion in its most exciting form is actually an environment—a happening—of ever-evolving ideas, practices, and visual and sensual pleasures. Spiritual paths based on everything from chaos, to love, to dada, to eroticism, and to eco-radicalism have found their way into the hearts and minds of seekers the world over. By looking at examples of some of these traditions, and by using them as a springboard for developing our own religions, students will come away with a better appreciation for what it means to “be religious,” and maybe even have a radical mystical epiphany or two.
