The Golden Thread: Philosophy for Everyday Life

Saturday 20 September · 10am–1pm · Fellside Centre, Kendal
Includes tea, coffee, cake & soulful company

​

How do we 'live a good life'? What does that even mean?

​

This learning circle explores timeless wisdom from across the ages, tracing a “golden thread” through philosophical traditions like Stoicism, Taoism, and Existentialism. Together, we’ll reflect on everyday questions of meaning, morality, and how to live with integrity in a complex world.

​

With a gentle mix of thought experiments, journaling, and soulful discussion, we’ll make philosophy practical, not just for the mind, but for how we choose to live and relate to others.

​

Who Is It For?
Open to adults of all ages, deep thinkers, curious questioners, quiet rebels and everyday philosophers.

No prior study of philosophy needed, just a willingness to explore life’s big questions in good company.

​

What we will cover

• Core ideas from Stoicism, existentialism, and Taoism

• Ethical dilemmas and how we make moral choices

• Journaling on values, meaning, and what truly matters

• Thought experiments to stretch our perspective

• Group dialogue, shared reflection, and optional creative activities

​

This is philosophy not for the ivory tower, but for the kitchen table :) Grounded, reflective, and deeply human.
