Philosophy in the City - Open First Class

Join us Wednesday, April 3rd at 7pm, for a FREE class in the Living Philosophy Course.

P hilosophy is not just theory. It is a way of life.

Our Living Philosophy course is designed to empower people to discover their true selves and live a fulfilling life. Through a series of engaging lessons and interactive discussions, we explore the fundamental questions of existence and how to apply them to everyday living. The course revolves around three core modules: Self-development (ethics), learning to live together in harmony (socio-politics), and building the future (philosophy of history).

Our experienced instructors will guide you through the complex ideas of the great philosophers of the East and West, and help you understand how their teachings can be applied to your own life. We'll discuss the importance of self-awareness, authenticity, and personal responsibility in creating a fulfilling existence and a better world.

The course is designed to be interactive and participatory, with plenty of opportunities for group discussion and self-reflection. By the end of the course, you will have gained a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you, and you will be equipped with tools to help you create a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Join us on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth.
