For one special weekend, cities open the doors to historic buildings, cultural institutions, churches, theatres, and other interesting spaces—many of which are normally closed to the public. Visitors can explore at their own pace, learn about local history, and sometimes go behind the scenes with guided tours or special access. Learn more about the event here: 👉 [https://www.doorsopenontario.on.ca/pages/events/niagara-on-the-lake](https://www.doorsopenontario.on.ca/pages/events/niagara-on-the-lake) *** ### 🗓️ The Plan * **Departure:** 8:00 AM from just outside **Christie Station** * **Transportation:** Rental minivan or SUV * **Destination:** **Niagara-on-the-Lake** * Spend the day exploring **Doors Open sites around town** * Time permitting we may be able to visit Niagara Falls after for a few photos/sightseeing * **Return to Toronto:** Around **6:00 PM**, depending on traffic You’re welcome to explore with the group or wander off to check out sites that interest you most.

RICHMOND HILL - Practical Philosophy Meetup 🇨🇦

RICHMOND HILL - Practical Philosophy Meetup 🇨🇦

Wed, Oct 14, 11:00 PM
From Practical Philosophy Club - Ontario 🇨🇦
4.8

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group, ](https://tally.so/r/ja1Gz9)along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 18:30-18:45 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start. * 18:45-18:55 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 18:55-20:05 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 20:05-20:30 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 20:30 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy is operated entirely on voluntary donations! If we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Donations are 100% voluntary, but they help us to bring the gift of deep conversation to people around the world. If you'd like to support, you can [donate here](https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-practical-philosophy)! (Practical Philosophy is a registered Canadian charity) **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** **🗣** “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?** No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what you think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it. * **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?** The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * **Is it mostly men that attend?** Surprisingly, no! Although often, philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * **Can I come alone?** Of course you can, we encourage it :) * **Can I be late?** Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * **Where do you meet?** The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp group](https://tally.so/r/ja1Gz9), for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/). 🤝**POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY CLUB - Philosophy, everywhere. ✨** We started in Practical Philosophy back in 2021 and there are now 50+ chapters in over 35 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️

Frequently asked questions

Meetup offers a platform for people to discover and join local groups, attend events, and connect with others based on shared interests. Whether you're looking to pick up a new hobby, meet new people, or explore community activities, Meetup connects you with a variety of options.

Meetup makes it easy to find events happening in Toronto. Simply search for events based on your interests or browse through categories to see what's happening in your vicinity. Each listing provides details about the event and how to RSVP.

Bonding activities on Meetup allow individuals to join groups that host events designed to foster relationships. These events can include workshops, recreational activities, discussion groups, and more, all intended to bring people together and build communities.

Yes, you can join as many events as you like on Meetup. There's no limit to the number of events you can attend. Just search for events that fit your schedule in Toronto and RSVP to confirm your participation.

Joining Meetup is free, but the cost of attending individual events may vary. Some events are free, while others may have a fee to cover materials or venue costs. Always check the event details for specific pricing information.

Simply use the search bar on Meetup to type in keywords related to your interests in Toronto. You can filter results based on location and other criteria to find the most relevant groups and events.

Absolutely! Many Meetup events in Toronto cater to smaller groups to enable more personal interaction and relationship-building. You can find these events by looking for keywords like 'intimate', 'small group', or similar terms in event descriptions.

If you RSVP and can't attend, it's best to update your status as soon as possible. This helps organizers manage event logistics and can open a spot for someone else. Always check each group’s RSVP policy for specific guidelines.

Meetup facilitates connections, but building friendships takes time and effort. Participation in events increases your chances but doesn't automatically guarantee friendships. Engaging openly and consistently is key to forming bonds.

While many events in Toronto are in-person, Meetup does feature online activities as well. These events are clearly labeled on the platform, allowing you to participate from anywhere if you can't attend physically.

The availability of events on Meetup depends on local interest groups and organizers. Some niches might have fewer events if fewer people are organizing or attending them, but demand can change over time.

Meetup is designed for group activities and community building, rather than focused 1-on-1 matchmaking as found on traditional dating sites. While you may meet singles, it's not the platform's main purpose.

Event quality depends on the individual hosts in Toronto. Many events are well-organized, but this can vary. Reading event descriptions, reviews, and discussions can provide insights into what to expect.

Yes, starting your own group on Meetup is a straightforward process. Create a group centered around your interest, and begin hosting events to attract like-minded individuals in Toronto.

If there's no existing group for your interest in Toronto, consider starting one! Meetup offers tools and guidance to help you create a vibrant community centered on your passions.
