Silk Road Seminars

At the end of each term, John will conduct a seminar session to reflect on and integrate course material through Q&A with both students from the courses and members of The Lectern. These sessions function as a nexus point to consolidate existing arguments and formulate new questions for future courses.

Lectern Dialogues

In these short series, John will dive into dialogue with a guest interlocutor on the intersections of their work. Across multiple conversations, these exchanges introduce alternative perspectives on cognition, philosophy and spirituality.

Lectern Q&A

John conducts a Lectern-only Q&A once a month to answer both pre-submitted and live questions. You can gain access to the Live Q&As via the post in the “General Announcements” section and recordings of past sessions via the “Q&As” in your Membership Tab.
