Teachings at C3

We learn from the most provocative voices we can find, from poets to philosophers, artists to activists, secular and spiritual to scientists. We believe in a life of listening and learning.

Each week our teachers engage a topic or idea. Our gatherings also include time for conversation, response and listening to one another. We believe West Michigan needs a place like C3, where the diversity of thought is embraced as part of our own paths of growth and change.

Join us Sundays at 10am for a livestream of our teachings at our Facebook Page. Signup to our Newsletter for more information about upcoming teachers and links to our Talkbalks that immediately follow our teachings.
