What we’re about
Open to serve the Greater L.A. skeptical community... east side, west side, downtown, uptown, San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys -- hopefully there will be something for everyone!
Had enough of astrologers, psychics, homeopaths, and bible thumpers? Yearning to talk with someone rational for awhile? Join like-minded folks at these events for some refreshing and sane conversation and some great activities. No sacred cows here -- just an ever-growing community of critical thinkers willing to raise their voices and exchange ideas.
Atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, deists and theists all welcome -- but be prepared to defend your position!

See all- Testing Real Life SuperpowersCenter for Inquiry West, Los Angeles, CA$10.00
Individuals all over the world claim to have superpowers beyond those of mortal people. And millions believe in the alleged ability to read minds, see into the future, move objects through mental processes, and more. But are these abilities real? That’s where Jim Underdown and the Center for Inquiry Investigations Group come in. Jim’s team tests more paranormal claimants than anyone in the world. He’ll go over the processes and detail-specific methods he and the CFI Investigations Group employ when designing scientifically controlled tests for the CFIIG $500,000 Paranormal Challenge, which happens to be the largest such prize in the world.
Jim Underdown is executive director of Center for Inquiry West and the chair and founder of the CFI Investigations Group. He is also the host of CFI’s flagship podcast, Point of Inquiry, (available at pointofinquiry.org) and also hosts SkeptiLab: The Bunk Stops Here!, an online webseries that can be found at skeptilab.tv.
