The Srčna moč herbalists’ circle invites you to its traditional tea afternoon with Father Karel Gržan, author of the bestselling book “Le kaj počne Bog v nebesih, ko je na zemlji toliko trpečih?” (What on Earth Is God Doing in Heaven When So Many Are Suffering on Earth?). The common thread of the conversation will be “How to overcome the madness of this world with irony – with laughter”. The tea afternoon will take place on Wednesday, 14 December 2022, at 17.00 in the hall of Lovrenc na Pohorju Primary School.
ON THE KIND OF IRONY AND LAUGHTER THAT SETS US FREE
We often think that revolutions, or even wars, free us from oppressive conditions of existence. After them, however, only new “kings” appear on the chessboard of the world, who, like the other pieces, play by well-worn rules laid down for them. Laughter that is grounded in (self-)awareness of what is worthy (at both the personal and the social level) and exposes to irony only what is unworthy (what we wish to outgrow – what we wish to free ourselves from) is the path to true liberation. The reflection will be on liberating laughter (not mockery) – accompanied, of course, by the laughter Father Karel Gržan will offer at his own expense, with anecdotes from his life.
Everyone is warmly welcome!
