This will be an online presentation-cum-discussion-group on the journey images of the I Ching. They’re among the most common phrases, the ones people most often ask about, and I think we can gain from looking at them together. So far I’ve thought of:

• ‘crossing the great river’
• ‘having somewhere to go’
• ‘setting out (to bring order)’
• ‘good fortune in the southwest’ and other points of the compass
• horses, carts and carriages
• paths

and started to gather ideas, examples and illustrations for all of these. Two questions for you: have I missed any key phrases? And what other themes can you suggest that run right through the Yijing, that we could usefully discuss as a group?

This webinar is free. I’m trying out a different way of doing these things: with guest speakers, I’ve charged for tickets and included the recording and transcript in the price. This time around it’s free to get in, but there’ll be some token charge for the recording and transcript when they’re done. (Which may take a little while, as of course the next webinar with Margaret Pearson is just one week later, on August 6th.)

So there are no tickets to buy or seats to reserve for the ‘journey images’ webinar next Saturday, I just hope about 19 people will turn up (as that’s how many can fit in the room). If you’d like to try it out before the day, check everything is working OK, you can do so at the login page. (No passwords required until 6th August.) If you want to join in the voice chat, you need a computer headset (with mic); otherwise, you just need an internet connection. The room software is compatible with both Windows and Mac.

See you there?
