Kelly Cowling had a novel idea in 2010. Create a philosophy community in Longmont, CO that included people from all ages using pop culture such as Harry Potter, Star Trek, and The Lord of the Rings as well as art and classics to illustrate philosophy and make it accessible to all. For Kelly everyone is a philosopher and everything is philosophy and it's FUN! In this episode, Kelly and I talk philosophy and the challenges of keeping your community going in a time of isolation.

Practicing Gratitude for Yourself and the World Around You

Every day I read articles about increased loneliness, depression, and anxiety. How do you find your community-people you can identify with and develop as friends? That’s where Creating Community can help. In each podcast I’ll introduce you to fun and engaging people in my community of Longmont, CO and I’ll show you what I’ve learned about creating community every time I was the new kid on the block moving around the country. Every place I’ve lived has taught me how to find the fun and magic in creating community.
