🎓 Deeper Conversations: What They Didn’t Teach Us in School

As kids go back to school, let’s gather to share the important or interesting things you've discovered they didn’t teach us in school, but every adult should know!

“Deeper Conversations” is a monthly event series where we meet in a semi-quiet space to discuss a meaningful topic that doesn't usually come up in daily life. These events are a staple for several members, so don't wait to RSVP! Each month's theme will be matched to that time of year whenever possible…

August's Theme: What They Didn’t Teach Us in School
Whether it's a life skill you had to learn the hard way, a paradigm-shifting scientific discovery after you graduated, or a key piece of history left out of your textbooks— let’s exchange that missing knowledge, catch up on new discoveries, and reflect on how much our understanding of the world has changed from what we were taught in school.

Example questions include: "Tell us something you've learned about human health, medicine, or the body that you wish you’d known when you were 18" AND "What’s an idea that used to be considered 'fringe' or 'conspiracy' when you were a kid, but has since been proven or widely accepted as true?"

How It Works: I will bring a curated list of conversation starter questions that have been vetted to be non-political and non-religious, while sparking meaningful, uplifting, or intellectual conversations. They will be roughly sequenced from lighter to deeper questions, so we can get to know each other before diving deep.

VENUE
Palihouse has a hidden cocktail bar inside of a boutique hotel decorated in a cozy, old fashioned style. They serve bar snacks, cocktails, wine, and beer, which you can preview on their menu. There is a parking lot behind Palihouse with a back door that opens straight into their ground floor. It's in the Hyde Park shopping plaza, so there are many restaurants within walking distance if you want to eat dinner first.

IMPORTANT: As usual, RSVPs close 25 hours before the event, so please make any changes before then. No-shows and cancellations after RSVPs close will be removed from this Meetup.

RSVPs open only 2 weeks in advance because I find most people who RSVP before that turn into a no-show or last minute cancellation.
