The project known as Philosophy, Phun and Phellowship, or PH3 for short, has been operating at a modest level since 19??. Throughout those years it has been guided by the paradigm that "everything in the universe is totally interrelated and interdependent". The bedrock truth of this paradigm has inspired us to persevere, as it's very clear to us that the world is suffering from a crisis of perception: the interrelationships are not seen.

Instead, there exists all the ills brought about by envisioning ourselves as separate, better than, radically different, isolated, etc., etc. Out of this disconnect comes most of the ills of the world: racism, oppression, discrimination, intolerance, distorted values, poor human relations, poor national and international relations, environmental deterioration, and loss of well-being.

Over the years we have had great success in putting this inclusive paradigm out there where it may be clearly perceived. We have done this in public forums, such as:

• "Mindwalk", the movie based on the work of Fritjof Capra..
• "What Does It Mean to be Human in the 21st Century?"
• "The Skill of Thinking"
• "Critical Thinking"
• Pre-University Institute

 We have hosted such notable speakers as:

• Richard Barrett (author of "Liberating the Corporate Soul")
• Dr. John Fobes (former Deputy Director of UNESCO)
• Jeanne Rindge (founder of Human Dimensions Institute)
• Rev. Howard Hanger (minister of Jubilee Church, Asheville)
• Leni Sitnik (former Mayor of Asheville)
• Rev. Maureen Killoran (minister Unitarian Church)
• and many others.

And presented performing artists such as:

• Celtic Knot (Celtic ensemble)
• Daniel Barber (pianist, World Beat Band)
• Garius Hill (pianist)
• Joel Fairstein (pianist)
• Karin Lyle (harp, violin, hammered dulcimer)
• J D Dance Troupe
• Richard Shulman (master of the synthesizer)
• Silent Partners Dance Troupe
• Tuscola High School Chamber Choir
• and many others.

PH3 was founded by educator and philosopher 
Dr. David V. Guerin, who at age 90 continues to personify the "full life" ideals that Philosophy, Phun and Phellowship continues to espouse. Our emphasis is on group participation and personal involvement with a thorough & balanced presentation serving as a catalyst for lively discussion. All in a non-judgmental, non-proselytizing environment.

• The presentation is framed by short, introductory performances by talented performing artists who exemplify the creative full life and inspire both wonder & delight.
  
• At some PH3 venues, gourmet food may be served to complete the Philosophy, Phun and Phellowship experience.

We can help you to create a PH3 event in your community, and begin a rich cultural dialogue that can last a lifetime!
