‘Summertime Stories’
We’re about 24 hours into summer, and if you are looking for things to do in the coming months, keep the School of Practical Philosophy in mind. School’s out until September, but it offers various lectures and programs, including the Summer Stories. From the publicity:
We often hear the phrase “You are not your story!” and with just a little self-reflection we know that it is true. Yet, stories also can point the way to self-knowledge and bear witness to acts of heroism, transformation, and true love. They can awaken the desire for knowledge and truth, arouse the sleeping giants within us and, perhaps most importantly, make us laugh at our foolish antics and grandiosities. In fact, with an attentive heart, hearing stories can change your life.
Please join us for our series of summer evenings filled with tales of the great masters that provide humor, direction and good company for the journey.
Friends and family are welcome.
Four Tuesdays: July 12 and 19, August 16 and 23
Time: 7 p.m.
Place: 12 East 79th Street, Manhattan.
Tickets, at $15, which includes refreshments, may be purchased on-line.
