SUMMARY:*Event moved online* Philosophy for a Flourishing Life: Time\, Change\, and the Art of Letting Go
DESCRIPTION:Change is one of life’s few certainties—yet it can be\ndifficult to navigate. This reflective half-day course\nexplores how philosophers and wisdom traditions\nhave understood impermanence\, transition\, and the\npassage of time. Drawing on insights from thinkers like Hera-\nclitus\, the Buddha\, and Heidegger\, participants consider how\nto live more peacefully with change and cultivate a sense of\ncontinuity amid life’s shifts. Through writing\, discussion\, and\ncontemplative practice\, we explore letting go not as loss\, but\nas growth.

SUMMARY:Philosophy for a Flourishing Life: 1. Why Philosophy? The art of asking big questions
DESCRIPTION:What is philosophy\, and why has it inspired people\nfor centuries? This opening half-day course intro-\nduces philosophy as a practical and meaningful\npursuit.
