In this Olio, we explore our perception of aliveness and our tendency towards disconnection using our relationship to the everyday objects we are surrounded by.

Activities include a guided reflection exercise, discussion, journaling, reading an excerpt by Robin Wall Kimmerer, and dropping into our creative imaginations.

​​Let's dive into the topic of FOMO and all of the philosophical and experiential implications that this particular feeling brings up.

​In this Olio, we will explore various philosophical perspectives on time, focusing on Henri Bergson's conception of duration, but also on scientific approaches to time, in the hopes of shedding some light on this ever-elusive concept and how it relates to our feelings of FOMO.

We often think of philosophy as a scholarly discipline that is largely confined to colleges and universities. This Olio aims to focus on another, deeper, and arguably older conception of philosophy as a way of life that centers on the pursuit and love of wisdom. We will explore the nature of wisdom and why we might want to pursue it, as well as three concrete practices through which we can work to transform ourselves into wiser, better, happier people.
