This course invites you to engage with time on an intimate level, beginning with our exploration into how different cultures and civilizations have perceived its passage. Uncover the richness of the Kala-Chakra or the Taoist embrace of nature's rhythms, and unleash a profound awareness that breaks the chains of Western linearity. You'll traverse a historical tapestry that doesn't just broaden your understanding-it reshapes it.

Our venture into the scientific realms will unveil the precision of Newton's 'absolute time', a concept that transformed our understanding of the universe and influenced philosophical thought for centuries. As you delve into these discussions, you'll grasp the elegance of time as a measurable force, offering predictability and order-qualities that revolutionized scientific progress and continue to inspire awe in contemporary physics.

However, time isn't solely a scientific enigma. It dances with perception, warps under emotion, and bends alongside memory. Step into an exploration where attention and mindfulness elevate your understanding of time's elasticity. Here, you'll learn to cultivate presence and navigate the temporal landscape with a satisfaction that enhances every moment of your life.

But understanding time also means facing ethical crossroads in our rapidly advancing world.
