Alan Watts Study and Discussion Group 4.50 4.507
Founded
March 10, 2009

Come join with me to explore the wisdom, humor, and philosophy of one of the greatest but least celebrated teachers of the 20th century.

Alan Watt’s influence is hidden in our culture as an understanding and wisdom that transcends logic. Alan Watts was not afraid to ask those unanswerable questions like “What is Life” and “Who Am I” knowing full well that no answer would be found but save the answer that would be forthcoming from the process of merely asking.

But a true study of Alan Watts is not just a study of the history and philosophy of Buddhism or eastern religion but also an exploration of the self. This journey of self-actualization that Alan Watts leads us on is as vital today as it has ever been throughout the ages, if not more so.

So let’s join together and continue to explore the mysteries of this life through written and audio material from that unsung hero and self proclaimed “rascal” of the beatnik era Alan Watts.

      “I love to listen to Alan Watts speak - he is a true "spiritual entertainer" to make use of his own words. His voice and delivery are as comforting as a cup of hot chocolate and a warm fire place - his message as urgent as an air raid siren.”
