Sacred Texts, Shared Thoughts: A Religious Exploration Discussion Group

Sun, Oct 4 · 11:00 AM Rhizome DC · Takoma

Sunday October 4 & bi-weekly * 11am * $5-10 suggested * REGISTER How do different traditions across history and geography think about how we should live our lives? Join this community for a casual, biweekly discussion group dedicated to exploring the practical philosophies and lived wisdom of the world’s major spiritual traditions. Over the first 12 weeks, we’ll look at foundational ideas from Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Taoism, Stoicism, Shinto, Yoruba, Animism, Christianity, Islam, and some modern faiths. This is less of a learning seminar and more of a conversational space . There are no right or wrong answers, and you don’t need any background in religious studies to participate. Come as you are, ready to chat about the ideas that jump out at you, what resonates with your own perspective, and how these philosophies might map onto our lives. Check out the working syllabus and readings: tinyurl.com/explorefaiths

Welcome to AskAlice

Hi, I'm Alice.

I go out a lot around DC, Virginia and Maryland, and I got tired of losing hours to Instagram Stories and a dozen venue calendars just to find out what was happening.
