August

- Public Talk - How can Philosophy help us today?
Today many agree that it is necessity to bring philosophy down to daily life - to make it a way of living, a daily practice.
In Athens in Ancient Greece, philosophy emerged as a need for the times they were living, to make life clearer, a little more viable, and to oppose the various forms of manipulation which existed in those days. Philosophy enables people to think and feel freely, and act in accordance to their own consciousness.

Wednesday 29th August at 19h30.
Admission fee: 6 euro, Concession: 4 euro

June

- Public Talk - Why do we dream?
Dreams are messages sent to us by our unconscious as a means of getting to know ourselves. It is not limited to the events of daily life; through its images and symbols, the dream puts us in contact with archetypal and universal realities.
Through time, man has tried to understand his/her dreams. Rediscovering the importance of these messages can be another key on our path of self-discovery.
