About this event
- Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes
This July, the Delta Aquariids meteor shower will light up the night sky, offering a breathtaking display of celestial wonder. Beneath this cosmic spectacle, we invite you to pause, gaze upward, and reflect on humanity's place in the vast expanse of the universe. The stars have always whispered life’s deepest mysteries: Where did it all begin? Are we merely fleeting specks, or do we hold a unique purpose? Why does this tiny blue planet sustain life capable of asking such profound questions? Join us for an evening under the heavens, where every falling star invites us to contemplate the infinite.
Frequently asked questions
A place for neighbors to gather and explore the fundamentally human questions, and learn from one another while building community by sharing food and drink.
The panel is simply a means to start the conversation and get the juices flowing. The panelists set the stage but it is you, the participant, who makes the Lyceum special. It is your voice and experience that you bring to the discussion which really makes for an engaging conversation
The Lyceum does not endorse or support any political platform or politician. At the Lyceum, we believe the we are fundamentally on the same team and seek to explore what unites us while acknowledging and speaking through our differences.
1. Read - Neighbor’s words in the best light. 2. Talk - For understanding, not victory. 3. See - Everyone as fundamentally on the same team, even with those who disagree. 4. Acknowledge - We don’t yet know. 5. Talk - To build up community. 6. Look - For something to love in every person.
As a participant, these are the questions one is encouraged to explore: 1. Do we understand it? 2. Is it true? 3. Have we seen it in our life? 4. How does it relate to our community?
