[In-person] Curiosity Café – Meaning in the Mundane
Most of life is routine. We each have a set of actions we perform in roughly the same sequence every single day: brushing our teeth, putting on the kettle, and taking the TTC (for instance). In contrast, we sometimes have experiences we deem extraordinary or profound. Vacationing somewhere new. Viewing a work of art that moves us. Going to see our favourite band live. Noticing the intricate details of a flower (for instance). These experiences seem *significant*. Yet we don’t seem to ascribe the same significance to the “mundane” parts of life, despite them making up a majority of our everyday experience.
In this Curiosity Café, we will explore why there appears to be a distinction between the mundane and the profound. Are these useful categories? Is there something uniquely meaningful about experiences that happen infrequently or are considered ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ events? Can the mundane parts of life be made profound through a change of perspective or attitude?
Join co-moderators Jaber Abedin and Sofia Panasiuk as we explore these questions and more at our next Curiosity Café:
* What makes a day mundane? What makes a day extraordinary?
* Which ordinary rituals and routines feel meaningful to you?
* Can a meaningful life exist without extraordinary experiences?
* Why do we seem to have a liking for extraordinary experiences as opposed to mundane ones?
* Should we strive to appreciate the mundane more?
**Space is limited!** **Please obtain a “Pay-What-You-Can” ticket from Curiosity Café at [this link (click here)](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/curiosity-cafe-meaning-in-the-mundane-tickets-1990421364883) to attend this event. You need a ticket to be admitted.** See the above link for more info about tickets and other options including a limited number of free tickets. Come and hang out with us, grab food, and read through our handout from 6-6:30pm. Our structured discussion will run from 6:30-8:30pm with a 10 minute break in the middle.
Hope to see you there!
***__________________________________________________________________***
This event is brought to you by [Being and Becoming](https://beingnbecoming.org/), a Toronto based non-profit. We aim to create community around exploring everyday concepts and experiences so that we may live more intentional, thoughtful, and meaningful lives. We use philosophy as a tool with which we can come to a richer understanding of the world around us.
By offering activities, spaces, and other opportunities for conversation and co-exploration, we hope to enable the meeting and fusion of individuals and their ideas. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background: indeed, we believe the journey is best undertaken alongside explorers from a variety of disciplines, cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.
Find out more about Being and Becoming [here](https://beingnbecoming.org/).
About the Curiosity Café Series:
For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to join us at our Curiosity Cafés and are wondering what they’re all about: every two weeks, we invite members of our community to come out to the Madison Avenue Pub to engage in a collaborative exploration of our chosen topic. Through these events, we aim to build our community of people who like to think deeply about life’s big questions, and provide each other with some philosophical tools to dig deeper into whatever it is we are most curious about.

Pistacio Vera Mid-Morning June Birthdays Tea
Happy Birthday to all June birthday people! I put this on the schedule because it's my birthday month, and this is my favorite place; it's also Dave Koczur's (MAFIA meetup leader) birthday on June 8; if you who are reading this have a June birthday as well, tell us in the Comments!
For anyone off work or with a flexible schedule, come to Pistachio Vera in German Village for a tea and pastry. We will try to get a table outside. If convenient, you could put a fold up chair in your car in case we can all sit outside but we run out of chairs.
