Practical Wisdom Workshops
Practical Wisdom Workshops are offered in the belief that the timeless wisdom traditions still have relevance in today’s world and when applied produce unique initiatives. We have lined up 3 passionate presenters who have all found inspiration and conviction from studying and practicing the tenets of wisdom texts over many years. They here offer the fruits of their study which has been as much practical application as intellectual study.
The PWW format offers a forum for the participant to join in and question if required or share their experiences if desired or just to soak up the information and quietly reflect how it might apply in their lives.
The philosophies that have stood the test of time were ground breaking in their day. Come and be a part of something old yet new, individual yet universal - Be a part of the heard - not the HERD!
Current workshops are:
- Saturday, 16 February - Plato in the Modern World, presented by Marita Brewster.
- Saturday, 9 March - Philosophy & Minimalism, presented by Belinda Fyffe.
- Saturday, 30 March - Is the Universe Intelligent? - A Dialectic Enquiry, presented by Craig Hassed.
More discourse than lecture, these presentations offer you the opportunity to engage with the subject matter, question & discuss with like minded people. Join the discovery of practical wisdom and how it could be applied in daily life.
Location: All workshops will be held at the School of Philosophy. 1 Through Street, Hawthorn. (Enter through Erasmus Primary School carpark off Through Street).
Cost: All workshops $35 each
Each workshop is limited to 20 attendees.
