Know thyself was carved into stone at the entrance of Apollo’s temple at Delphi in Ancient Greece.
Scholars, philosophers, and poets have debated the questions of what it is to know yourself for thousands of years.
I invite you to join me for conversations with artists, creators, scholars, spiritual teachers and writers of all walks of life to discuss the big questions; to engage with what it is to live fully, to map ourselves, know ourselves, to grow our compassion and listening and explore our greatest possibilities.
