Bring Your Appetite for Ideas to Our Soup Symposium Series
Ethical Culture Leader and Philosophy Professor **Curt Collier** invites you to a monthly serving of philosophy and soup to nourish mind and body.

Today's topic, with special guest [Dr.Dennis Klein](https://sites.google.com/a/kean.edu/dennis-b-klein/), is "Advice from Viktor Frankl."

The key to this presentation, says Dr. Klein, is our present moment. He cites "a lack or void––a crisis of mattering––that has been ascendant over the last several years and is accelerated by our collapsing attention spans."

Our Soup Symposium sessions are on the first Sunday of the month through June 7, when Curt or a special guest will lead lively conversations exploring the history and philosophy of ideas.

Optional soup and a roll, with vegetarian options: $6.

Each Soup Symposium begins at 12:45 pm at the meetinghouse and on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, please email [admin@ethicalfocus.org](mailto:admin@ethicalfocus.org) by noon on the Friday before the Symposium.

We hope you can join us for these nourishing conversations!
