Facing the uncharted waters of life?
Find your direction with Curious Soul Philosophy.

Come with us to think deeply and live deliberately.

Are you a curious soul?

Picture
If you're a curious soul, you find yourself wanting a deeper understanding of yourself and your world. You're on the verge of some very big questions. The spirit of philosophy is awakening.
 
Philosophy literally means "love of wisdom." The love of wisdom is not just an interest in abstract intellectual puzzles. It is a yearning to live a better, wiser life — an "examined life," as Socrates called it.

​Sometimes the spirit of philosophy is sparked by experiences of awe and wonder. Sometimes it arises from everyday perplexities or frustrations. And sometimes it emerges from a deep sense of confusion, powerlessness, meaninglessness, or despair.

In times of personal, political, or global crisis, the big ethical and existential questions come streaming in like never before. But take heart — times of crisis are opportunities for new insight and productive transformation. In the midst of big crises, it is possible to live with greater clarity, meaning, and freedom. It is possible to cultivate a more profound sense of understanding and fulfillment and find your own unique direction.

​We can help.
