SUMMARY:Topic TBC - an online open session
DESCRIPTION:These open sessions usually run twice to accommodate different 
 time zones-this session is the Americas one. We take particular topics or 
 passages from Plato and other writers in the tradition - these are open to
  anyone interested\, and they attract a wide range of participants. We usu
 ally begin with a short 5 or 10 minute introduction to the subject in hand
  and (when appropriate) a reading of a short text: this leaves a good hour
  or so to discuss the ideas which arise (this will be posted here and emai
 led to those who have registered).\n\nThere are no fees payable. The Trust
  sees the Platonic tradition as a spiritual one: not only a guide for the 
 outer life\, but especially to be treasured for its assistance in the cult
 ivation of the inner self - the soul - for\, says Plato in the Timeaus\, 
 “we are not terrestrial plants\, but blossoms of heaven.” We understa
 nd the tradition to be profound and cohesive\, and one that repays the lon
 g-term effort required to truly embed oneself in it. Our approach is not 
 exclusive - we value other traditions for their insights - nor is it dogma
 tic or an attempt to proselytise: however we are serious in our attempts t
 o fathom the depths of the tradition\, to identify its foundations\, and w
 here its teachings seem to run counter to accepted thinking to investigate
  them thoroughly rather than rejecting them prematurely. Thus our point of
  focus is on the teachings of the tradition and most especially our own in
 ner response to them.\n\nBy joining our studies you are making no commitme
 nt beyond that of co-operating with us in our exploration of those truths 
 which have inspired a company of men and women most luminous in their unde
 rstanding\, and unsparingly generous in their teaching.\n\nYou can registe
 r for the Americas-timed session here (coming soon) which will be at 19:30
  EDT. We use Jitsi Meet as the platform to convene- once registered you wi
 ll receive the link to join.\n\n&nbsp\;
