About the Program

The Seminar gives you the opportunity to read, reflect on, and discuss great books from the world’s various philosophical, spiritual, and literary traditions. The purpose is not to provide answers, but to ignite curiosity, and encourage independent thought.

In the Contemplative Exercise you have the opportunity to engage with the same questions explored in Seminar, but through the lens of embodied contemplative practice rather than intellectual inquiry. 

The Arts Workshop provides the opportunity to embody the ideas and questions you explore in Seminar through your own creative process. By engaging in various practices such as writing, drawing, and theater, you will delve into the meditative aspect of art and explore art-making as a form of expression and mindfulness.
