Make your life a monument and a prayer. Dedication to the real is a new social contract, reassigning our allegiance, writing the constitution with our life, generating and establishing Visionary society. It leads to commitment in each of the main areas of our life. It is the most important step in forging Visionary Society.

"Anyone who genuinely looks for something will find it.
A candle is made to become entirely flame.
In that annihilating moment
It has no shadow."
– Jalalludin Rumi


“Ask the most crying, urgent question: What is the secret of existence? Wherefore and for whose sake do we live? Only those who have not tasted the terror of life, only those who claim that it is a pleasure to live and that more and only pleasure is in store for the generations to come, can deny the essential necessity of asking: Wherefore? For whose sake?”
– Abraham Heschel

Great insights to read aloud and reflect on.


What is Celebration of the Good?

Celebration of the Good is an experiment in entertainment, a new way to pass the time with strangers and friends. It is an introduction to amazing things, people, places, events, a way to celebrate beauty and truth. It can be also be part of our lifelong learning pathway, and a way to cultivate relationship with friends and strangers.

Join us for evening gatherings to read or perform any thoughtful, inspiring works of any kind. We will also have time for reflection and we will have free snacks! They can take place in any public venue, or at the homes of participants.
