about

Join Rev. Dr. Drew Collins, Associate Research Scholar and Lecturer at the Yale Center for Faith & Culture, for a 5-week course drawing from a range of philosophical and religious traditions to inspire thoughtful conversation on questions of meaning and purpose in our lives.

Each week, read a set of religious and philosophical texts that offer distinct perspectives on what it means to live well. During class, enjoy a cup of Grace Farms coffee or tea and discuss the assigned readings — putting Confucius in conversation with Oscar Wilde, or Friedrich Nietzsche in dialogue with the Buddha — to better understand the stakes, insights, and trade-offs within each tradition’s approach.

Class meets on Wednesdays, in-person at Grace Farms, located at 365 Lukes Wood Road New Canaan, CT. Readings will be provided, and are no more than 30 pages.
