Learn to Lead Conversations That Matter

Open to everyone in the HippSoc community who wants to explore the formation of character in medicine and practice thoughtful discussion.

Begin with why virtue matters, explore what human flourishing asks of us, and consider how stories and shared reflection can shape the way we care for others.

Understand the Foundations

Explore virtue, the soul, human flourishing, and prudence through the Why and What video sessions.

Practice Facilitation

Use stories, works of art, reflection prompts, and downloadable guides to prepare discussions. These shared materials, sometimes called “third things,” give a group something to explore together.

Learn from Others

Observe an optional roundtable discussion and explore conference sessions on beauty, the medical profession, and mentoring.

How to Use This Series: Move through Introduction, Why, What, How, and Conclusion in order. Pause for reflection, then return to the optional discussions and conference sessions as your interests develop. Free with a LearnWorlds account. Register or sign in to begin.
