You probably have some questions. Maybe alot of questions. That is a good place to begin. Our first session is roughly an hour long chat where we will talk about what you are looking for, what your hopes are as you dive into deep philosophical reflection, as well as getting you familiar with what Philosophical Practice is and is not… and answering any and all questions you may have before jumping into a new intellectual and spiritual adventure. This first session is no cost to you. It is a chance for you to discern whether or not Philosophical Practice sounds like what you are looking for.
Philosophical Practice is flexible and adaptive. We will work to make the practice work for you. If you are interested in reading from philosophers and other writers, we can do that and I will find works to help nourish your mind and heart. Maybe you learn better just chatting over philosophical ideas. We can start there. Hands-on folks can try their hand at creating an art project inspired by the philosophy we discuss together. We will find a way to make the practice work for you.
How often we meet is wholly up to you. There is no prescription for these things. I recommend trying out Philosophical Practice once a month for a few sessions. If the practice fits, we can meet more frequently, as you wish. Each hour long session is $50, payable with cash, check or Visa/Mastercard at the meeting. My aim is to make Philosophical Practice affordable and available to all.
Finally, you don’t need to have any background in philosophy to start Philosophical Practice. You don’t need to be an academic or a bookworm. All you need is a curious mind and an open heart. With those two needs taken care of, everything else will fall into place.
