Is there a compelling tradition of wisdom in American life? The world looks to the example of America for many things—for independence, for ideals of freedom and equality, for industry, wealth, and opportunity—but seldom for wisdom! Yet through the length of American history runs a current of “plain living and high thinking” that draws upon the world’s many wisdom traditions, at last to reflect that ancient light back to the world as something radically new. This course is a shortened version of the three-meeting introduction we have offered in the past, equally appropriate to new students as to those who have attended the longer course. A highly visual introduction to the American Wisdom Tradition. Register here.
