The Art of Giving

An exploration of Khalil Gibran’s famous philosophy of Giving viewed through the lens of Vedanta.

Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) was a poet, artist and visionary. His most famous book The Prophet explores how Giving is both our identity and our path to divinity.

The Prophet encourages selflessness and generosity, but beyond this lies a far deeper idea. Giving is not just an action but a way of being. A spirituality that enriches both the giver, the receiver and the world. So why is it so hard to give?

Join us for an exciting journey of self-discovery and transformation as we explore the different forms of giving and how they may be applied in our lives. Mastering the Art of Giving is the key to understanding oneself and our place on the world stage.

This 3 session course will run on Tuesday evenings at 7pm beginning on 22 April 2025. Each class lasts one hour and a quarter.
