Intro
The goal is to challenge you with a new philosophy of work & leisure. An avant-garde Dolce Far Niente. We want to rediscover higher pleasures and grasp what the Romans meant by Otium.
Q: How can we bridge the gap between philosophy and entertainment? That’s what this project is about—learning to love and live this question instead of rushing to answer it.
Moderator
I’m a friend, not a “teacher”—I’ll be the moderator of this community. Over the long term, I want to bring as many guests as possible: artists, writers, creators, scholars, and entrepreneurs.
Structure
You will get access to an exclusive digital platform where we’ll organize LIVE meetings—recorded & available forever. Likewise, expect visuals presentations & worksheets & assignments.
Curriculum
I will often ask you to vote on what subjects we can tackle & come up with new ideas.
+ Antifragility
+ The Art of Travel
+ How to Waste your Time
+ The Sacred & The Profane
+ Beauty in Art & Architecture
+ The Philosopher’s Guide to Wine
+ On the Uses & Abuses of Logic

Sipping Wine in Transylvania
I organize retreats & events in Transylvania a few times every year. I normally combine these with non-fancy wine-tasting experiences sponsored by Catleya.
CAPACITY: 15-20 people/retreat.
Retreat 2024
DISCLAIMER: Getting this membership does NOT give you the right to join such retreats but it does give you PRIORITY & DISCOUNTS as they’re an extension of this digital community. As a rule, I host retreats during the summer.
Q: Do you want to spend at least 1X week in Transylvania—with a small group of 2-5 people from this community—to think, read, write, paint, take (long) walks, and sip wine? You may ONLY sign up for such events if you’re part of KronArête.
If you have any questions about this project, feel free to DM me on Instagram.
[$150/year means $13/month—less than a fancy coffee and two beers]
