About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Philosophy in Nature is a free public humanities series in which participants take turns reading passages from philosophers, poets, historians, theologians, scientists, etc. Two to four featured participants have five minutes to read some of their work or favorite passages on the theme. We then vote on a question to discuss and toss a community ball to encourage everyone’s input. We wrap things up with journaling, watercolor painting and/or hanging out in nature. All events are free!

This series will run from July 2025 through November 2025 on or near the last Saturday of each month from 2-4pm, unless otherwise noted.

July 26: 6-8PM at Kirk Park

August 30: 2-4PM, at Blandford Nature Center
