“I have really enjoyed the insights of others in the group AND the chance to really come to appreciate and better understand the works. You could tackle Shakespeare on your own but… why? With the slow-reading pathway “team approach” you gain so much more understanding through multiple minds at work; sharing insights, asking one another to explain their ideas, hearing your own vague thoughts put concisely into to words by another member, and giving one another positive feedback. And really, it is much more fun this way!!”

~Dawn Smith

“I’ve been participating in conversational reading seminars for nearly 30 years, I’ve been leading seminars in different contexts for about the past 20. Even so, there is a great benefit to Symposium Great Books Institute. Often seminars become a place where different people voice their queries and opinions, such that the conversation becomes disjointed, a kind of usually polite cacophony. At Symposium on Zoom generally seminars find their own fruitful pathways together, and everyone contributes to a common, real, sustained conversation. I attribute this to a combination of three factors: the inexhaustible richness and profundity of our readings, the skills of our facilitators, and the calibre of our participants.”

~ Reynaldo Miranda, Seminar Archon
