Chris Clarke - 22/02/1946 - 16/04/2019

   Chris  July 2018 (Arjan Lelivelt)

Following Chris's passing, on 16th April 2019 Isabel Clarke (his widow) and Leon Clarke (his eldest son) are making his website into a memorial site. During his last years, Chris faced the twin challenges of cancer (of which he died) and Alzheimer's, with which he was learning to live with grace and lightness. This is reflected in the blog he wrote during those years, which Leon Clarke has now published as the book: Wisdom and Isness. It is available from the publisher, Lulu at:  http://www.lulu.com/shop/chris-clarke/wisdon-and-isness/paperback/product-24090631.html

Poems: Beltane Burial by Joan Angus and Chris, by Plaxy

Chris and Circle Dance.
Circle dance was an important part of Chris's life. He led the group in Wickham for about five years until the Alzheimer's made this impossible. Isabel and Plaxy have written about this aspect in the Circle Dance magazine, Grapevine. The articles are linked here: Isabel's. Plaxy's.

A celebration of Chris's Life and Creativity (planned to have taken place while he was still alive) was held at the Edmund Kell Hall and Church, Southampton on May 19th. 3 of his most remarkable dances were led by longtime friend, Plaxy; songs were sung; memories exchanged.

BOOKS

Knowing, Being, and Doing

Knowing, Being, and Doing: New Foundations for Consciousness Studies
(Paperback � 1 Oct 2013) Available from Imprint Academic
Between 1965 and 2002 several key lines of research emerged which, taken together, can potentially revolutionise our understanding of the place of consciousness in the universe. Two of these are crucial: first, the analyses of human mental processes by Barnard, and independently by McGilchrist; and, second, research by several workers linking quantum theory to consciousness in much greater detail then hitherto. In this book I explain the close connections between these new ingredients,and I set out a new foundation for consciousness studies in which consciousness is integrated with physics. Finally the book discusses how this affects our everyday approach to ecology, religion, and spiritual practice.

WEAVING THE COSMOS — Using ecology to unite science and religion, healing ourselves, our society and the planet.
