Dr. Heesoon Bai is an educational philosopher and a psychotherapist with a deepening interest in holistic-contemplative education. Following Raimon Panikkar鈥檚 (1918-2010) lead, she understands philosophy鈥檚 task for today鈥檚 troubled world to be 鈥渢o know, to love, and to heal.鈥� She brings this three-fold task of philosophy into her teaching and research.
Her research calls for the reanimation of our selves within all spheres of human beingness in the service of living ethically and in beauty. Through contemplative inquiry and practices, she offers ways to experiment with replenishing, nourishing, and animating our being.
