Time & Other Thieves
Reflections and conversations on the nature of existence. Sarah B. explores philosophical, spiritual, and religious ideas as they're presented in various books.
In late July I will start leading Time & Other Thieves: The Group: A monthly discussion, meditation, and interpersonal process group. Both cohorts of the group will meet on Zoom, one on the last Tuesday of every month from 2–3:30, and the other on the last Wednesday of every month from 6–7:30 (both P.M. and EST). Take your pick!

Time & Other Thieves
"I and Thou," by Martin Buber

In this episode I explore some of the ideas in Martin Buber's "I and Thou," which presents the dialogical philosophy for which he's most well known. Given my continued passion for leading and participating in interpersonal process groups, I discuss these ideas through that lens, focusing on how group provides an opportunity to inhabit the You-world instead of the It-world, to encounter and actualize others instead of merely experience or use them. And through that encounter, we contact the eternal in others—and in ourselves. To quote Buber, "I require a You to become; becoming I, I say You.”
