About this course

Every letter by Marsilio Ficino is imbued with love. He knew that his very essence is love. And he knew that the essence of all humanity is love. That is what he reminds us in his letters.

Do we need to search for our soul? That search is needed only by those whose life is mere existence on the surface. Let us heed the advice of Marsilio Ficino (1433 – 1499): “Look at the inner nature of everything. Then you will never be deluded. Just looking at the surface reveals only shadows and dreams. The centre is the pivot and substance of things.”

Come and join Marsilio at the centre, and know yourself!
