Saturday, August 9th
9am-11am
Pioneer Park (at the snails benches)
DESCRIPTION
In the first few pages of Friedrich Nietzsche’s essay “Schopenhauer as Educator,” Nietzsche invites us to consider a particular way of knowing ourselves by asking us to look back over our lives and consider the question: “what have you truly loved up to now?”
In this workshop, we’ll undertake the personal task of this very question, following the structure that Nietzsche lays out for us. Based on these (private) reflections, we’ll then be invited to create drawings (A Ladder to a Bridge) that render abstractly those reflections.
Afterward, we’ll have the opportunity to share and reflect on those, inquiring into one of the motivations behind Nietzche’s exercise: can we discern the fundamental law of our own true self? Finally, we’ll reflect on this way of knowing ourselves more broadly: To what extent are we what we love?
Open to all. FREE. Donations appreciated. Please RSVP.
