Sacred Technology & the Sacred Feminine
A new Course with Layman Pascal - starts Sunday, April 2nd.

A Metamodern Approach to Yin/Yang Polarities in the Restoration of Spirituality for the Age of the Metacrisis
This new course from PARALLAX ACADEMY’s “Rebuilding Spirituality” curriculum - and the third one with Layman Pascal - is an in-depth exploration of gender metaphors and polarized dualities from a metamodern & integrative perspective. Human technology has appeared historically to be a hypermasculine (or YANG) force that has excluded and marginalized YIN aspects of reality. However, the ongoing progress in physical, informational and psychological technologies has revealed a world that largely corresponds to ancient notions of the Sacred Feminine. It is mysterious, complex, organic, relational, transrational, embodied and flowing.
How do we re-engage and honor those dimensions of existence without reifying the dualistic metaphors, misjudging the inclusive and plural nature of human gender or ignoring the role of a revivified masculinity in emerging spiritual and religious culture? What are the different ways that these metaphors show up in diverse domains of human experience relevant to the contemporary emergence of the Sacred? And what sorts of personal and collective practices take us to the living edge of these queries?
Join Layman for embodied wisdom-skill practices, supportive depth-oriented feedback in live Q&A sessions, shared emergence spaces and special access to advanced theory modules explaining the view necessary to make sense of how we reformat authentic transformational spirituality for our strange and disturbing times.
Parallax is a European online media platform offering constructive and fresh perspectives for the post-post modern age. We publish essays and podcasts, webinars and lectures, and are a hub for original and heterodox thinking.
The word ‘parallax’ stems from the old greek παράλλαξις parállaxis, which means to shift the viewpoint of the observer. The name suggests psychoactive and alternative sense-making, as opposed to mainstream narratives and ideologies.
Through our work with various European ‘digital tribes’, we create media and Bildung (education), and promote social, cognitive and spiritual development. Moreover, we aim to provide a European counterpoint to the dominant anglo-saxon narratives.
