Meditations on the Afterlife – A Salon for the Curious
May 10, 2023 at 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm BST
Start time where you are: Your time zone couldn't be detected
Join Anna Gát for a discussion about how various cultures, whether religious or secular, view the afterlife, and how did human beliefs in life after death come to develop.
Whether you’re a religious person or identify as an atheist, it’s more than likely that the great questions of life — love, birth, death, and our species’ future — occupy your thoughts sometimes.
At this casual online salon-style gathering we will discuss some interesting readings and share personal stories about death and what might come after: whether you believe in Heaven and Hell, or are “simply” working on leaving behind an earthly legacy, we’d love to have you join our discussion!
