Pia Shaw

Pia Shaw is a Whiteheadian scholar and researcher who received her PhD from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco in Philosophy, Cosmology and Consciousness Studies. Her dissertation, A Whiteheadian Theory of Emotions: Finding Value in the Universe, explores human emotions within a broader context of cosmic emotions. Pia’s work highlights how Whitehead’s philosophical framework can enrich contemporary discussions on cosmic ecology. She emphasizes that human experience is an integral part of the cosmic whole rather than an exceptional phenomenon. By valuing emotional experience, Pia fosters an expansive understanding of our connection to the universe, promoting a deeper awareness of our place within it. Pia’s research and collaborations aim to bridge the gap between philosophy and practical application, advancing the wisdom of Whitehead through accessible methods that integrate psychospiritual coaching models and experience.
