Four giants, four orientations, and one objective: Having you live a meaningful life. This 4-part series of workshops will focus on the personal growth that you experience as you shape your life. By examining the different viewpoints and approaches of each of these four icons of self-change, you will gain further insight into nature of the mind, the challenges of making the shift, and the means to effectively transition towards living a meaningful life.

Dear Friends of PACE,
 

Families are a crucial starting point to our emerging commitment to social engagement. Families feed us, teach us and strengthen us. They are the constant point to which we go back to in order to evaluate our evolving sense of self. Over the course of this series, presented in collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada and the McCord Museum, we consider changes in how we see the family. Each evening showcases: screening of NFB films, a presentation by McGill faculty, a moderated discussion and the visit of a museum exhibit.

Please note that you can sign up for each of these workshops individually or for all 3 and receive a discount
