"The Essence of Life""Ikigai and Creating Value for Others"A novel dinner and talk series at 15th St Farm.Throughout history and across cultures, food has brought people together, enriching their lives through exchanges of ideas, experiences, joys, and sorrows.Amid today's challenges, we gather at convivial long tables for dinner to slow down, reconnect, and reflect on professional and personal contributions to our community."Ikigai," a Japanese word, refers to " Purpose In Life." "Adding Value to Others" refers to the species-survival requirement that has existed since life began on Earth 4.2 billion years ago.Each evening's speaker will address a topic related to the two themes above. offering "Mind Seeds", and possibly identifying "Mind weeds" in the context of our work, passions, and aspirations.The topic will encourage small-group discussions. Between courses, time will allow for Q&amp;A.This month's speaker is Adam S. PetersAdam S. Peters is a speaker, trainer, and facilitator based in the Tampa Bay area, where he has built his work around a simple conviction: that people and communities are capable of meeting hardship with purpose rather than bitterness. Through his practice he leads workshops and keynotes drawing on neuroscience, positive psychology, and the lived art of community-building.Much of that conviction traces back to one book. Reading Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning gave Adam a framework he has returned to ever since — the idea that even in the face of life's hardest challenges, we retain the freedom to choose a constructive response and to build meaning rather than remain cynical or defeated. It's a thread that runs through all of his work, and it's the heart of what he'll share tonight.He is also the founder of a local speaking event series called Lifelong Learners of Tampa Bay. In the spirit of one of the Farm's missions," To Facilitate Community Building," and as a true participatory event, guests will share the experience of setting the table, serving dishes family-style, and cleanup, as if at an informal friends' gathering.The 3-course meals will be priced at $39.00 per person, including taxes and gratuities. Those who can contribute more will help subsidize students and guests with more limited means.Thanks to generous donors we are offering a 50 percent discount to teachers and students. Please email info@15thstfarm.com by Sunday, 6/2 to request the code.
