**RSVP for Our Philosophy Walk Here!**
In this walk led by philosopher David Nowakowski, we'll explore how the ways that ecologists study and learn about wild nature, can also be used to study and learn about ourselves, as human beings in human communities.

We’ll look at four ecological principles: whole systems, dynamic balance, resource flows, and limits. And we’ll explore together in dialogue, how we can apply them in our own lives.

This is philosophy—the life of wisdom—in a raw, applied, down-to-earth form:
  • Take a method of knowledge and exploration,
  • Use it to describe the key elements in the wider world (or in our own inner, private worlds)
  •  And then use that clear understanding to respond in the most effective ways, through our choices and actions.

About Your Workshop Leader

David Nowakowski is as a philosopher and educator in the Helena area whose professional work is dedicated to helping people of all ages and backgrounds access, understand, and apply the traditions of ancient philosophy to their own lives.  David began studying ancient philosophies and classical languages in 2001, and has continued ever since. After half a decade teaching at liberal arts colleges in the northeast, David chose to leave the academy in order to focus his energies on the transformative value of these ancient philosophical and spiritual traditions in his own life and practice, and on building new systems of education and community learning that will make this rich heritage alive and available to others.
