Calling all Edinburgh folks! What a time to be alive. I have to confess, I’ve felt odd sharing our scheduled posts these past days with everything going on. But I genuinely believe its important now more than ever to stay c***ected to one another and engage in meaningful conversation that leads to powerful action.
There’s still time to register to our “Introduction to Contemporary Philosophy for Adults” which starts tomorrow! We’ll be exploring AI, spirituality, social media, ethics and more. If you know someone who’d love this, don’t forget to hit share.
For more information email us. Link to RSVP in stories 📎 See you there!
