About us
👋 If small talk drains you, deep conversations light you up, and you’re curious about many things - from science and philosophy to art and more - you'll feel at home here!
💡 Groups are kept small to deepen conversations and give everyone a chance to speak. Each discussion is guided by currated theme-specific question cards and knowledge prepared in advance by the organizers - so we go beyond opinions and debate.
🤍 Real connection and learning happen through the conversation by listening closely, being playful, curious and exploring ideas together.
🧩 Before each event, we share interactive “food for thought” on Instagram to warm up the conversation.
✨ Follow us on Instagram @lifelong__curious for upcoming events, bite-sized knowledge, conversation prompts and takeaways, community moments, and all the good stuff!
----------------------------- 🌐 Shared Community Contributions -----------------------------
This community exists because a significant amount of care and work goes into organizing each event. This includes:
• Finding and coordinating quiet venues
• Preparing and facilitating events
• Managing logistics and communication
• Maintaining social media and community outreach (which helps grow the group and secure venues)
• Covering the increasing Meetup platform fees and related expenses
To keep this sustainable, participants are invited to contribute in one of two ways:
• Volunteer your time or skills to assist during meetups, or support events (such social media outreach)
• Pay the event contribution, which helps cover the costs above
Both forms of contribution are equally valued 💛
-------------------------- 🚫 Respect, Community Integrity & Safety --------------------------
This is not a commercial service, but a community we build together. Mutual respect and trust are foundational.
Harassment, discrimination, or insults - in person or online - will result in an immediate ban.
Similarly, committing to attend and contribute (financially or otherwise) and then not following through undermines the shared trust that keeps this space alive. This may result in exclusion from future events.

Book Club - "The Order of Time" by Carlo Rovelli
Freiwilligenladen Münchner Freiwillige – Wir helfen e.V., Tumblingerstrasse 50, München, DE"Time is ignorance."
What if the past, present, and future are not what we think they are?
And if time is not what we think it is, what does that mean for memory, identity, love, and the way we live?Written with beautiful clarity and poetic elegance, this is not just a book about science - it is an invitation to look at the universe, and ourselves, with fresh eyes, and to embrace the wonder that begins where certainty ends.
Rovelli bridges Einstein, quantum physics, and ancient philosophy to explore why we remember the past but not the future, and why we experience the passage of time.
Genres: Popular Science, Physics, Philosophy, Nonfiction
Pages: ~240, paperback💫 Follow us on Instagram @lifelong__curious for events, curious insights, and community highlights.
Contribution: A €5 fee is kindly requested to contribute to organisational and platform costs (PayPal or cash) 2 weeks before the book club. More about our organisation and other ways to support can be found in our group description 🤍
🌿 Community Guidelines
- Attendee list only - Only attend if you're on the attendee list.
- Listen, don't interrupt - Be curious and give others space to speak.
- Engage with ideas, not individuals - We're here to explore, learn and share, not to argue.
- Phones away, stay present - Keep your attention on the people in the room.
- 🚫 No-shows and late drop-outs affect future attendance - They take a spot from someone else. If it happens, please get in touch; otherwise, you'll be removed from the next meetup. If repeated, you may be removed from the group.
- ⚖️ Attendee lists may be adjusted - We aim for a diverse and balanced group, make room for new and less frequent attendees, and will deprioritize members with a history of late drop-outs or no-shows.
- Photos at the event - We take photos to share highlights and help grow our community. Don't want to be in photos? Let us know in writing before the event - we'll gladly respect that.
