9:45 pm WARM UP with Robin Kelly (The Human Antenna) Robin Kelly is a lost-in-transit kiwi MD on his way to his native London fulfulling a life-long dream to visit Tucson, home of Jo Jo, sweet Loretta Martin, and Stuart Hameroff. Since arriving in Auckland NZ Xmas 1977, he spent 3 more years in hospital medicine and 30 years in family medicine. In the 80's he combined Chinese medicine with Western medicine, and since the early nineties has practiced a style of medicine at his home honoring that we are cosmically-kissed consciousness first and everything else second. He is happy now. Along the way he sings and swings (a golf club), watches ants, writes books and lyrics, was a police surgeon, a hospice medical director, managed a ward of handicapped children, and was president of the NZ Medical Acupuncture Society. He adores his wife Trish + 3 children, and his 4-month old granddaughter, Pyper, who has taught him everything he knows. His only specialty is the unknown - although he's not quite sure about this now. Please be kind, he talks with a funny accent and is very jet-lagged.
Jeff Warren The Wheel of Consciousness Jeff Warren is sort an anomaly on the consciousness scene - and that's saying something. He's not a scientist or a mystic, or a philosopher. Technically, he's a writer - a science journalist. He's written for Discover and The New Scientist and for a long time was a radio producer with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. But Jeff is probably best described as a pop-phenomenologist, a keen observer and connoisseur of first-person experience. He is best known as the author of a critically-acclaimed book on waking, sleeping and dreaming consciousness, called Head Trip: Adventures on the Wheel of Consciousness published a couple years ago by Random House. In that book he staked his claim as a 'radically fun empiricist' similar to William James except, as he puts it, "with more jokes and fewer smart parts." Jeff is currently working on a book and a film about animal consciousness and the limits of human knowledge. On Tuesday night at Club Consciousness, he will present his 'Wheel of consciousness' experience, a trip through your minds, from the depths of slow wave sleep through the fun house of dreaming and onto the deep clarity of meditative experience.
*How well do you know your own mind? The Head Trip is an audio-visual journey through twelve distinct states of waking, sleeping and dreaming consciousness. Although informed by science, the show’s primarily focus is first-person experience —what it feels like to be aware at different times of day and night…
