About the course
Philosophy In The Park is a 6-week course made of selected topics from our program and adjusted to an outdoor setting.
We will meet on a weekly basis in Villa Parke, Pasadena (the park adjacent to the community center).
The free Open Classes will present our approach to living a philosophical life, as well as a brief introduction to a tool we will use often during the course: the Three Dimensions of the Human Being. You will be able to RSVP for the date you prefer, after we will update links on this page.
