*Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings* **Fee:** AED 30 **Duration:** 2 hours **Format:** Two paintings, one per hour — deep group discussion follows each What happens when philosophy meets paint and canvas? Welcome to **Canvas & Contemplation: Deep Reflections Through Paintings**, a unique gathering where we explore the profound connection between visual art and the human experience. Each session, we’ll sit with two powerful artworks — not to critique them like art historians, but to let them speak to our minds and souls. You'll be surprised by the range of interpretations one painting can evoke — where one person sees despair, another may find hope; where one sees chaos, another finds divine order. This is a space for meaningful, respectful conversation that opens us up to new perspectives and helps us see more — in the art, and in ourselves. Whether you're a philosopher at heart, an artist in spirit, or simply curious about how we see and feel, this event offers a space to slow down, look deeply, and think together. **Come with an open mind, leave with new eyes.** **Whatsapp group link**: https://chat.whatsapp.com/FytQQgS85I61vS6nkduLm5

Let's talk about it!

Let's read another intriguing novel: *Apples Never Fall* by Liane Moriarty. [Kirkus](https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/liane-moriarty/apples-never-fall-moriarty/) review sums it up as "Funny, sad, astute, occasionally creepy, and slyly irresistible." We will meet by the fireplace in the common area of a condominium association called the Gallery at White Flint. I will send more specific information about a day or two before we meet. The concierge *may* not be helpful. There is metered parking across the street. It can get crowded so you may want to consider parking in the commercial parking lot in front of [MOM's Organic Market](https://momsorganicmarket.com/rockville/) off Nebel St. Alternatively, take the subway. The Gallery at White Flint is in easy walking distance from the [North Bethesda Metro](https://www.wmata.com/rider-guide/stations/north-bethesda.cfm) (formerly White Flint Metro).

Let's read George Saunder's 2022 collection of short stories, *Liberation Day*. [Kirkus](https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/george-saunders/liberation-day-saunders/) reviews sum it up as "A tour de force collection that showcases all of Saunders' many skills." We will meet in the common area of a condominium association called The Gallery at White Flint. The area is directly across from the entrance near a fireplace. There is metered parking across the street. You may want to consider parking in front of [MOM's Organic Market](https://momsorganicmarket.com/rockville/) off of Nebel Street or taking the subway to the [North Bethesda Metro](https://www.wmata.com/rider-guide/stations/north-bethesda.cfm) (formerly White Flint Metro). I will send more information a day or two before we meet. The concierge *may* not be helpful.

This will be our second (and possibly last) meeting on *Nature's God: The Heretical Origins of the American Republic*, by Matthew Stewart. For this meeting, please try to read chapters 4 and 6. (You can skim chapter 5, which is particularly confusing). **Where did the ideas come from that became the cornerstone of American democracy?** America’s founders intended to liberate us not just from one king but from the ghostly tyranny of supernatural religion. Drawing deeply on the study of European philosophy, Matthew Stewart brilliantly tracks the ancient, pagan, and continental ideas from which America’s revolutionaries drew their inspiration. In the writings of Spinoza, Lucretius, and other great philosophers, Stewart recovers the true meanings of “Nature’s God,” “the pursuit of happiness,” and the radical political theory with which the American experiment in self-government began. [LINK](https://a.co/d/bkTWJNb) This book is not always an easy read. You may want to make use of AI tools such as ChatGPT. You can ask it questions like: "What does Matthew Stewart say about happiness in his book Nature's God?" OR: What does Matthew Stewart say about Spinoza? This may be our last meeting on this book. If you want to have a third meeting later, on the last two chapters, let me know. I hope to see you there! Fred
