We are so grateful to Stephen Maly & the crew at Helena Civic Television (HCTV) for inviting us into their studio to talk about philosophy in the community! This video highlights our time together, some of the things our organization does in the community, and things on the near horizon…
Philosophy as a “way of life” is integral to what we do as an organization. Philosophy is not meant to be closed away in some book but, rather, to be lived! To have been selected to participate in the National Endowment for Humanities Summer Institute “Reviving Philosophy as a Way of Life” is such an honor! We are so excited for the opportunity!
Thank you so much to PLATO for inviting us to serve as panelists at the American Philosophical Association Pacific Division Conference in San Diego, CA in March 2018. It was an honor to speak alongside such amazing scholars doing great work in the field and to contribute to such an important movement. Long live philosophy in the community!
We are thrilled to announce that Merlin CCC has been asked to serve as panelists at the American Philosophical Association Pacific Division Conference in San Diego, CA in March 2018. Our Executive Director, Marisa Diaz-Waian, will be speaking about Helena and philosophy in the community. GO HELENA!
In the Spring of 2017, we collaborated with Nanette Whitman-Holmes (Life Enrichment Director for Touchmark) andJustin Whitaker, Founder of Mindfulness Montana and Philosophical Consultant, to offer an 8-week philosophy & mindfulness meditation program for seniors, caregivers & staff at Touchmark on Saddle Drive. The program combined aspects of philosophy and mindfulness meditation with the aim of inspiring critical, creative thought, imagination, humor, compassion, kindness, an improved sense of well-being, and community.
Our Community Night at The Windbag on Tuesday, August 22nd was a huge success! Thank you to The Windbag & Helena for supporting philosophy in the community and helping us to raise $1,463!
