‘Winter wisdom classes coming soon’

     
“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson
Self-Reliance


Irrefutable words of wisdom, from most likely the only philosopher ever named Ralph! Winter is near, so it must be time for the School of Practical Philosophy’s Emerson Study Group. That’s five classes, on Tuesday evenings, from January into March. From the publicity:


The teaching of Ralph Waldo Emerson is an expression of the highest spiritual knowledge—the philosophy of Unity. Drawing on the wisdom from Plato and the East, Emerson knew from direct experience and observation that Unity is the true reality. He spoke of “one mind common to all” and of “one soul which animates all things.” His writings are both revolutionary and reflective, and can help inspire our work toward self-realization.

Join in an in-depth study of his essential writings. No prior study is required.
