Nutty New Age-y Workshop at OISE (the Folks Who Teach the Teachers)

Found this on the OISE site:
This workshop explores the nature of inner life wisdom and its relationship to education. Specifically, this workshop examines an approach to education that seeks to balance and harmonize acquired intellectual knowledge with revealed inner life wisdom. In this context, the concept of our true or higher Self, who we really are, is examined and how this source can be brought into aware consciousness through approaches such as meditation, visualization, and inner life dialogue. The spiritual heart center as the gateway to imagination, intuition, and creative inspiration is explored and how striving for higher knowledge and wisdom takes us on the path to wholeness in education and everyday life. 
This workshop is appropriate for educators and higher education students.
I just had a dialogue with my inner life and it said it's also appropriate for flakes and the hippy-dippy.

There was a great bit in an old Dick Van Dyke episode that showcased this crapola beautifully, Scara.

Rob (showing off): ...As I explained in an article I wrote for the Television Quarterly this last period, this type of comedy automatically creates and empathy - a rapport, if you will; thereby setting up a common denominator with the mass audience. Now this is our raison d'être. The husband and wife image is perhaps the easiest identifiable one in our society. Ergo, the mass psyche finds a release from it's hidden latent hostilities by this kind of vicarious means….
