Philosophy Fridays

​Join us at Lighthouse Venice for 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.

​Free Magic Mind will be provided!
