Emerson Study Day

Emerson Study Day

Come explore the spiritual and intellectual legacy of America's great philosopher and teacher

Ralph Waldo Emerson. At this study day, we will consider selected passages from "Circles" an essay in which Emerson expresses man's unlimited, ever-changing and expanding nature. His words are both inspirational and fortifying and always address a love of freedom.

From the essay:

"Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth, that around every circle another can be drawn;

that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning; that there is always another dawn rising on mid-noon, and under every deep a lower deep opens." (First Series 1840)

All are welcome; no prior study of Emerson is required.
