Practical philosophy about life, meaning, anxiety, love, and everything in between — made for young adults who are figuring it out.
About this Event

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly “on”?What if ancient philosophers had something practical to say about it?

A Half-Day Retreat: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Minds

For over 2,000 years, thinkers like the Buddha, Plato, and the Stoics asked the same questions many young adults struggle with today:

  • How do I deal with anxiety and uncertainty?
  • How do I find meaning in work, relationships, and daily life?
  • How can I calm my mind in a noisy, demanding world?

This half-day retreat blends philosophy, reflection, and meditation—no prior experience needed.

What to expect:

  • 🧠 Two engaging talks connecting ancient philosophy to modern stress, social pressure, overthinking, and burnout
  • 🧘 A guided meditation (15 minutes) inspired by timeless practices
  • 💬 Space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect—without phones, pressure, or performance
