Update May 2026 | Online Classes, Videos, Events, Podcasts, And Writings
The video is a May 2026 update from Sadler Academy, outlining upcoming online and in‑person events, workshops, classes, podcasts, and video content for the month. Highlights include a second run of the “Stoic Heart: Stop Reactive Conflict and Build Real Connection” workshop on May 16, a repeat of the “Studying Philosophy Outside Academia” one‑day workshop on May 9, and the launch of a new ten‑week online course examining the philosophical themes in Philip K. Dick’s novels starting May 23. Additionally, the creator will host several live Q&A sessions, Substack Live open house, and “Sadler’s Office Hours” for paid subscribers. Sadler emphasizes community demand, noting the first Stoic Heart session filled completely and the philosophy‑outside‑academia workshop sold out previously. He also mentions a forthcoming in‑person lecture on medieval mystic Meister Eckhart at the Frank Wyenberg Library on May 13, and a “Worlds of Speculative Fiction” discussion on Robert Bloch’s early Lovecraftian work. The packed schedule signals a strategic push to monetize niche philosophical content through tiered offerings while maintaining free public access via podcasts and videos. For educators and lifelong learners, the calendar provides multiple entry points to engage with philosophy, literature, and music culture through interactive, self‑directed formats.
