A presentation by Ihor Raynin, Governor, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine. Accompanying the governor will be members of the Ukrainian parliament and leading businessmen.

Talk | 'God Is Emancipation to You - To Me, He Is Oppression: Secularism, Gender and the State'
Drawing on original interviews, this presentation will interrogate how religious women negotiate and contest secular policies of the state and religious policies of their faith. Bringing these women into sharper focus troubles standard accounts of secularism as necessarily emancipatory.
This presentation will urge us to reckon with secularism as a unique mode of state power that can serve to liberate but also to discipline women political subjects. With Pascale Fournier of the University of Ottawa.

Workshop | How to Meditate: Based on The Teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda
With: Kyle McDonald.
Modern science has rediscovered what yogis knew all along: deep concentration on the pre-frontal lobe (agya chakra/spiritual eye) changes the frequency of the brain and helps us cultivate equanimity, calmness, well-being, and joy. Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, described meditation as deep concentration on one of the 8 aspects of God: light, sound, peace, calmness, joy, love, wisdom, and power.
