Join The Walden Woods Project and the Thoreau Alliance for a conversation with Thomas Moore and Richard Higgins!
About the event
Join bestselling author, psychotherapist, and public thinker Thomas Moore for a conversation about his newest book, The Cure at Walden Pond, with author Richard Higgins. Drawing inspiration from Henry David Thoreau’s journals and Walden, Moore explores what Thoreau’s ideas can offer us in a world marked by distraction, consumerism, and uncertainty. Together, Moore and Higgins will discuss spirituality, renewal, our relationship with the natural world, and how each of us might find our own path to a more mindful and meaningful life.
