A PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTION ABOUT HUMAN LIFE, GROWTH, AND PURSUING POTENTIAL   

The focus on life, growth and pursuing potential will lead to our 2,500-year wisdom tradition rooted in ancient China, India, Israel and Greece. The course will be an author-reader interchange. We will read one book: A Road Less Traveled, just published by Roscoe Hill (the facilitator). The book is a day-by-day account of his experiences and thoughts during a pilgrimage. As he walks – searching for a basic, grounded, elemental spiritual space – he recalls his decades-long journey from his childhood religious belief in a theist God that supernaturally intervenes in our world to preferring silence about God. At bottom, religion is not about God-talk and beliefs, it is about taking good care of others. Once God-talk is gone, what’s left is everything beyond words that was always there and is still there. If you are asking, “How can I manage with little or no God-talk?” – this course is for you.

Required Book: Hill, Roscoe. (2023) A Road Less Traveled. Amazon, paperback
