Inspiring Discussions ! - Science, spirituality and the everyday

SCIENCE, SPRITUALITY & THE EVERYDAY
(Please read fully to understand the ethos of the event)

If you can’t prove it, could it still be?
How does spirituality help or hinder you in everyday life?
Can you be a god-fearing scientist?
Does it matter whether the spirit exists, or only that spirituality feels good, does good?
How good is religion anyway?

These are provocative questions that can rouse strong views, but here we discuss them in an environment of open acceptance and learning. Bring your most interesting examples and thoughts, sip a cosy winter’s wine, and enjoy!

WHAT IS THIS GROUP ABOUT ?
Friends of TED is a group for people that enjoy respectful discussions on thought-provoking topics and themes - scientific and spiritual, emotional and uplifting, terrifying and eye-opening. The kind of topics that are often highlighted in TED talks.

We are not affiliated with the TED organisation, but we have their consent for this group.

Respectful discussions means listening and appreciating the points of view presented, and not just opposing, but adding to the discussion with more thoughts. It means sharing ideas, meeting interesting people, and going home with a richer perspective.

For each session we will propose a topic(s). There is no one speaker at the event - you are the listeners and speakers!

You don’t have to read up on the topic or watch the proposed TED talks, but it could help. Please let us know if you’re coming
