LIVING PHILOSOPHY - A REFLECTIVE WRITING WORKSHOP*

This workshop is USC check in + 20euro - payable via cash or paypal

Since the Enlightenment, Western thought has been dictated by Cartesian duality—good and bad, dark and light, body and mind. But there are profound questions about our existence that move far beyond simple dichotomy. How can we learn to hold life's complexity? In part one of LIVING PHILOSOPHY, a two part MODERN RITUALS course, instructors Yun Shu and Whitney Wei lead students into contemplative inquiry to better understand the invisible lenses with which they see the world. 

Under the theme of THINKING FOR ONESELF, the class encompasses guided meditations, short lectures around recommended reading, and writing exercises. The curriculum, a mix of Taoist philosophy and universal history, leads with personal reflection and opens up to interactive discussion to guide students towards their own conclusions. Bring a writing utensil and notebook. Come as you are—no prior knowledge is needed.
