SUMMARY:the essential nothing in lived experience
DESCRIPTION:an invitation to think\, feel\, and be together — in person\, in Echo Park. \nMOVN salons at the backyard lounge: \nliving connections\nat the intersection of psychology\, philosophy\, and social experience. \n\nJune 13\nour second salon features Dr. James Norwood\, whose talk will explore The Essential Nothing with us\, based on philosopher Martin Heidegger’s concept of meeting and relating to the nothing through lived experiences \n\nthe evening\nmovn salons are softly structured evenings where conversation\, listening\, music\, and food unfold around a 45-minute salon talk at the center of the night. \nintimate\, in person\, and grounded in togetherness — this is a word-of-mouth gathering\, small by design. \n\nwhat moves between us\nwe are living through a time of profound estrangement. and yet here we are — drawn to each other\, craving something that doesn’t have a name yet but feels urgent. \nnot a lecture. not a workshop. a circle\, a field\, a collective form of sense-making — drawing on practices that came before us and continue beyond. \nour salons create conditions for living presence — with one another\, with a neighborhood\, and with psychological life as it is evolving now. each person is a world unto themselves. these evenings explore what becomes possible when worlds meet. \n\nfeatured speaker:\nDr. James Norwood\nJames Norwood\, PsyD\,  is a clinical psychologist\, psychoanalyst\, and teacher whose work lives at the intersection of existential psychotherapy and philosophy. His work is especially concerned with anxiety\, uncertainty\, freedom\, responsibility\, and what it means to live thoughtfully in the face of groundlessness. He is the founder of the Free Association Clinic in San Francisco and serves as Associate Director of the New School for Existential Psychoanalysis. \nIn his talk at the salon\, he’ll explore philosopher Martin Heidegger’s concept of ‘the nothing’ from What Is Metaphysics? Heidegger argues that we do not encounter the nothing through abstract theory\, but through certain lived experiences — especially anxiety\, and sometimes boredom or depression — where familiar meanings begin to loosen and “beings as a whole” come into view. The nothing is hard to describe directly. It can only be pointed to. Yet it may be as essential to thought as zero is to mathematics: zero is not a thing\, but without it\, mathematics cannot operate. Likewise\, all experience is shaped by how we stand in relation to the nothing. \nFrom James: “I hope to make this strange\, almost numinous concept more tangible\, and to open a more fruitful relationship to it as a ground of creativity\, insight\, and acceptance.” \n\nfeatured musician:\nLogan Lambert\nLogan Lambert (she/her) is a clarinetist and proud New Orleans creole\, born and raised in Louisiana. Her performance training has been predominantly in Western classical music\, but her passion lies in folk songs. \nShe has moved many times in her life and has collected songs wherever she’s gone. Like the stories behind them\, these songs act as mementos of her friends and of the places she’s loved. She stands wholeheartedly by the power of oral traditions to unite people across space\, time\, and cultural divides. \nLogan holds a Bachelor’s of Music from New York University. She is currently pursuing her Master’s of Music at the University of British Columbia. \n\ndetails\nbackyard lounge • free \nEcho Park\, Los Angeles \nchild-free event • space is limited \nplease RSVP using the link on the right \n\nyour host:\nDr. Heather LaFace\n \nHeather LaFace\, PhD\, is a licensed clinical psychologist\, systems thinker\, and the founder of MOVN Embodiment Collective. her work explores what moves between us — in therapy\, in groups\, and in the living field of human relationship. \nMOVN Salons are her latest endeavor: bringing people together in living presence to explore the deeper questions of consciousness\, experience\, entangled connectivity\, and what it means to keep becoming ourselves.
