The Paradox of Parenting : Raising Souls in an Instant World

This event will explore the unique friction of raising children in today’s fast-paced, instant-gratification world. Breaking away from a traditional seminar format, the evening will bridge intellectual discourse with the arts, seamlessly transitioning between expert-led panel discussions and soulful performances of poetry and ghazals. ​Our core objectives are to foster a supportive community, spark meaningful dialogue on modern upbringing, and offer emotional resonance through spoken word and classical music. ​To maintain an intimate, deeply engaged atmosphere that encourages open conversation, we are capping the audience headcount at 80 attendees.
