About this event
Please note the new location: Primal Moves in Venice! For October, we’re going to try out something new with this month’s Philosophy Friday at the Venice-favorite Primal Moves (epic community movement classes that hosts events and unique movement workout classes in a very cool, well-designed space near the Marina with plenty of parking). Incredible café too as well! https://primalmoves.com/

1038 Princeton Dr Ste B, Marina Del Rey, CA 90292 Description: Join us at Primal Moves a unique “Philosophy Friday” discussion with a Q&A with James Beshara, creator of Magic Mind, host of the Venice Vedanta Club, and the host of the podcasts "Yoga for Your Intellect" and “The Daily Vedantic” — two podcasts inspired by the “perennial philosophy” (as Aldous Huxley called it) of Vedanta, which means “end of the Vedas”. In a world full of spaces to discuss careers, relationships, and hobbies, this philosophy club offers a rare chance to engage with the intellectual side of philosophy, spirituality, and foundational worldviews. Rooted in 8,000+ year old wisdom contained in the Vedas, Vedanta provides timeless wisdom in practical life without religious doctrines, without rites or rituals, and without shoulds or should nots. Just thought-provoking ideas for anyone to reflect on during their morning routine. And this space is built to spark philosophical discussion across any historical or modern philosophical notions, from Socrates to Kant, from Augustine to Carl Jung. So join us for stimulating conversation on a Friday morning, where timeless philosophy provides practical modern-day insights. The conversation will be moderated by Reva Reddy, co-founder of the Venice Vedanta Club and a longtime student of Vedanta. Free Magic Mind will be provided! As seating is limited, waitlisted guests are welcome to stay in the Lighthouse lobby. Five minutes before the event begins, we’ll open the doors to anyone on the waitlist if space allows.
