We have partnered with Big Ideas to capture the conversation from a selection of our past events – tune in below.

In the digital age, attention is now a commodity. Can practices like meditation and mindfulness help us feel more free to focus on what really matters? Join our discussion at Sophia Club Melbourne with host Brigid Hains, director of the University of Melbourne‘s Contemplative Studies Centre Nicholas Van Dam, writer and Dharma teacher Jess Huon, and musician Matthias Schack-Arnott.

Be the first to hear about new Sophia Club events around the world

The Sophia Club is a new venture from Aeon Media, the publisher of Aeon and Psyche magazines.

Aeon is based in Melbourne, Australia and we respectfully acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which our Melbourne events take place, the Wurundjeri people of the Woiworung language group of the Kulin Nation.

We value the knowledge traditions and rich practice of philosophy among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia, and all First Nations peoples around the world.
