What Is the Meaning of Life?
​
Saturday 18 October · 10am–1pm · Fellside Centre, Kendal
Includes tea, coffee, cake & soulful company
​
What makes life meaningful? Is there such a thing as a good life for all? Are we truly free or are our lives determined by fate, biology, or culture?
​
In this deep and thoughtful session, we’ll explore the big philosophical questions about life, freedom, knowledge, and progress. With no pressure to find final answers, we’ll honour the mystery, challenge assumptions, and enjoy the beauty of thinking together in a shared space.
​
