FREE ONLINE PROGRAM: Authenticity in an Artificial World: Cultivating A Life Worth Living
December 7, 2025
Program Start Date & Time: December 7, 4:00 pm
Program End Date & Time: December 7, 5:30 pm
Description: As we become endlessly distracted by the artificial, the search for authenticity becomes vital. Contentment, meaning, and purpose have become fleeting ideas of a world forgotten. It does not have to be this way. The world-over is saturated with contemplative practices, structures of philosophy, and therapeutic methods that can point us directly towards personal transformation. Our inner worlds may truly be the final frontier.
During this online program we will explore practices and perspectives from a range of traditions including Buddhism, emotional intelligence, existentialism, mindfulness and more. We will develop and discuss the methods for cultivating an authentic happiness in this lifetime.
Suitable for both new and experienced practitioners. Participants from all backgrounds are welcome to attend.
