About the event
In August, we’ll discuss Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse — a lyrical and philosophical novel tracing one man’s spiritual journey during the time of the Buddha. First published in 1922, this short yet profound book continues to inspire readers seeking meaning, peace, and self-understanding.
We’re pleased to welcome Sergiy Dmytriyev, Associate Professor of Management at James Madison University. In his work, he tries to combine the seemingly impossible by bringing business and philosophy together. Fascinated by exploring the meaning of life, he would serve as a discussion facilitator for this short but deeply meaningful novel by Hesse.
Whether this is your first time reading Siddhartha or a return visit to its meditative pages, we invite you to bring your thoughts, questions, and curiosity. As always, tea will be served.
