Philosophy in Nature was a free public humanities series in which participants took turns reading passages from philosophers, poets, historians, theologians, scientists, etc. Two to four featured participants had five minutes to read some of their work or favorite passages on the theme. We then voted on a question to discuss and tossed a community ball to encourage everyone’s input. We wrapped things up with journaling, watercolor painting and/or hanging out in nature. All events were free! 

The West Michigan series was organized by Areins Pelayo, a Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Grand Valley State University.
