Dec 23: Resolution

What is “resolution”? Why do we make New Year’s Resolutions? What ideas motivate us? What are our plans, projects and dreams?

We will be meeting Wednesday, December 23 at 7:30 pm to discuss both the philosophical ideas behind resolutions as well as our own personal goals. John will be facilitating.

Feel free to invite your friends; if needed we’ll split into two discussion groups now that we have the space to do so.
