The challenge of grappling with an uncertain future has been a perennial problem for humanity. Hence, it is a problem that the brightest minds from across cultures and throughout time have applied themselves to solving.
Some of the most profound thinkers from across various philosophical and spiritual traditions proposed that a pervasive sense of anxiety was not an arbitrary mental tic. Rather, it was the symptom of a faulty relationship with life itself—one buried deep in the recesses of the mind.
They also suggested that through disciplined, conscious practice, the individual could arrive at a wiser perspective of life and a greater freedom from the trap of anxiety.
In this session we will explore insights from two such celebrated wisdom traditions—the philosophies of Karma Yoga and Stoicism. We will compare ideas from prominent thinkers and then explore the ideas further through group discussions and guided reflection.
If you’re interested in participating in this timeless inquiry with a group of thoughtful, curious New Yorkers, we’d love to have you join!
