Change is one of life’s few certainties—yet it can be difficult to navigate. This reflective half-day course explores how philosophers and wisdom traditions have understood impermanence, transition, and the passage of time. Drawing on insights from thinkers like Heraclitus, the Buddha, and Heidegger, participants consider how to live more peacefully with change and cultivate a sense of continuity amid life’s shifts. Through writing, discussion, and contemplative practice, we explore letting go not as loss, but as growth.
