Join us for a thought-provoking evening of learning, reflection, and conversation as we explore some of the most profound questions about life and its meaning.
The event will feature talks and discussions with three remarkable speakers, along with a live poetry performance by the acclaimed M. L. Walsh.
Sam Braham will guide us through the ideas of John Vervaeke, a leading professor from the University of Toronto, as he unpacks the modern “Meaning Crisis” — a cultural and psychological struggle that affects how we find purpose in our lives. Sam will explore how we can respond to this crisis through wisdom, rationality, and daily practice.
Revd Dr. Carver Anderson will offer reflections on the unpredictable and fragile nature of life. Drawing from his experience as a pastor, he will speak to the sacredness of everyday moments — from birth to death — and how our understanding of life influences the way we treat ourselves and one another.
Professor Michael Hand will make the case for bringing existential questions into the classroom. He will argue that the search for meaning isn’t just an academic activity — it’s deeply practical, and essential to how we live, learn, and grow.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and engage with life’s biggest questions in the company of thinkers, practitioners, and artists.
