What we’re about
The Rivendell Discussions are monthly discussions of fantasy in the traditions of the Inklings (Tolkien, etc) and more recent writers like Ursula K Le Guin, Patricia McKillip, Lois McMaster Bujold, and many others, on a Saturday afternoon over Zoom--since Covid we've only had a couple of in-person events. We are affiliated with The Mythopoeic Society, (mythsoc.org) which shares these interests. More at rivendellergroup.com, or on Facebook.
Meanwhile, our sister/cousin discussion group, Second Foundation, holds discussions of SF (Science Fiction, or "speculative fiction") with sometimes overlapping membership, usually on Sunday afternoons, about every 6 weeks. Since Covid, they meet at the Hosmer Library in Minneapolis--AND via Zoom. See fliers posted in the photos section of rmore up to the minute information.
If these groups don't work for you, you can contact David and he might have some other suggestion as we know of probably another half-dozen regular discussion groups devoted to SF & F and related genres, such as horror, and some that span all of these genres but also look at more general topics.
