PONT DE BARRET (26): seminar

From May 27 to 31, 2025

Seminar
“ The 5 Pillars of Wisdom ”

The great Eastern and ancient philosophical schools teach us universal keys to wisdom: self-knowledge, the acquisition of virtues, the art of loving and being free, the need for acceptance and letting go of what we cannot change. Starting from the quest for happiness and a happy life, I will approach these different themes by quoting thoughts and texts from the great Western philosophers: Plato, Aristotle, Epicurus, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Plotinus, Montaigne, Spinoza, Nietzsche, Bergson, etc. But also from the great wisdom schools of the East: Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism. Each day will focus on a theme and will combine theoretical teachings and practical exercises (workshops on texts, guided meditations, discussions, etc.) so that everyone can appropriate these wisdom teachings that help them live better.
