Seasons greetings & Happy Holidays! 2017 is upon us! We would like to take a moment to, first, say thank you. Thank you to everyone in the community who has shown us such overwhelming support & encouragement. From individuals, to businesses & organizations, to our Reeder’s Alley neighbors and beyond. You are amazing!
To have had the opportunity to share our passion & love for philosophy with each one of you has brought us so much joy. In addition to thoroughly enjoying the activity of philosophy, we believe in its practical value and ability to foster, strengthen & enrich communities, cultivate critical, creative thought, encourage leadership & action, and promote healthier, happier & more deeply satisfying “ways of living/being” in the world. In light of this…we believe that philosophy is not meant to be closed away in some book but, rather, to be lived.
Click here to read our inaugural 2016 Merlin Mailer Newsletter. In it you will find highlights of the various philosophy services and activities that we have hosted & participated in over the course of the past year since our office doors opened in the Winter of 2015, as well as things on the radar for 2017.
That has been our goal…to help individuals live philosophy by offering unique opportunities to engage in philosophical dialogue, to exchange ideas, to reflect on our own lives and the world around us, to develop action plans and a sense of community, and to further nurture & contribute to the development of our character, hearts & minds. It is our hope that the services & activities we have been providing in the community have helped you accomplish this.
We can confidently say that they…and each of you…have certainly helped us live philosophy. And, for this, we are humbled and grateful. Thank you.
Second, we have put together our inaugural newsletter and are very excited to be sharing it with you. In it you will find highlights of the various philosophy services and activities that we have hosted & participated in over the course of the past year since our office doors opened in the Winter of 2015, as well as things on the radar for 2017.
