A Classical Conversion

This was the first talk given at The Poetic Life Conference in the Spring of 2026. In A Classical Conversion, Patrick Faus shared his unexpected journey— from a self-described “bad student” formed by pop culture in the halls of public school to a deep lover of the classical tradition and an involved homeschool father. He shared some of the key books that awakened his soul and how they moved him further and further into the Great Tradition. Philosophically reflective, Patrick explored how beauty and truth can break through modern appetites and invite us to rediscover the enduring feast that has stood the test of time.
