What are the guiding principles of modern society? How can we respond to bureaucracy and dehumanization? Is exquisite sensitivity possible?


This is Part 1 of a two part series on Modern Culture. Part 2 is a response: Create a more beautiful culture.

Action

What is Celebration of the Good?

Celebration of the Good is an alternative to commercial 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 or sublime 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.
