Leader Curt Collier invites you to lunch and a series of discussions about art and science in a search for common ground on which to understand our experiences and our ethics.
These six Soup Symposium sessions are on Sundays, Feb. 25 through March 31, at 12:30 pm and will last about an hour each. “You bring your appetite for ideas (and soup), and I’ll supply the reading material for discussion,” Curt says.
He discussed the world of ideas, conveyed through art and science, in his recent column. The Soup Symposium will continue that discussion. Each session is in person at the meetinghouse, free for members and $5 per session for non-members, payable at the door; no registration required.
