IN-PERSON: Seneca’s “On the shortness of life” (Part 3)

This is our IN-PERSON event for Saturdays. We meet every 2 weeks (no Zoom link available).

Notice! Starting time is now 5:00PM due to the sunset changing. The old time will return next year.

TOPIC – One of Seneca’s most popular essays is called “On the shortness of life”, because it has timeless advice on how to manage our short time on Earth. We’ll learn how to focus on our purpose, reduce distractions, and avoid procrastination. Translation by John W. Basore. All quotes are by Seneca.
