Community Events London

The BIG FREE Friday night episode of THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBLIC\* Join us to imagine out loud with an openminded group of people from all walks of life. \*formerly just pubs, now meeting in lots of places IMPORTANT: It is likely that TEiP will move off Meetup at some point in the future. Please join the mailing list if you'd like to stay in the loop (comms will be minimal and you can unsubscribe at anytime): **[MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/36b38902fa)** October's theme is TBC. Whatever it is, we will explore it with three original **thought experiments** (posted in the comments below on the day of the event) **The aim of this meetup:** meet new people and have different, thought provoking conversations. **How we'll do it** (timings approximate)**:** * **6:30** \- Arrive at the pub\, find us in the dining room * Organise ourselves into small groups (4-7ish...recent research finding: apparently 4 is the best number for a good conversation!) * Have a look at the thought experiments (posted in the comments on the day of the event) * **6:45** \- First rotation begins \- Talk about the first thought experiment\. If you don’t want to talk about that one\, move on to another one\. Feel free to veer off topic\. * **7:10** \- Optional shuffle: swap groups\, move on to the second thought experiment\. * **7:35** \- Optional shuffle: swap groups\, move on to the third thought experiment\. * **8:00** \- Votes \- optional moment to express your views on some of the questions of the evening\. * **8:05** \- Wrap up \- hear about upcoming events\. * Organised part of the meetup is over, feel free to carry on conversations (many of us stay until the pub closes!) **Notes on the general atmosphere:** * The vibe is to let conversation flow rather than stick strictly to one topic. * While we'd like to talk about 'meaningful things', we also see the value in lighter topics, so don't worry about not being 'deep' enough! * Feel free to suggest ideas for future episodes of Thought Experiments in Public\*, both in terms of structure and topics to discuss. **Where we'll meet:** This group will be at the Earl of Lonsdale Pub on Portobello. The nearest Tube station is Notting Hill Gate. **Who should come:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc. etc.... You can get a sense of what the events and community are like **[here](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpubs/)**. Looking forward to meeting & talking with you soon!

THE COACHING CLUB October 2026

Tue, Oct 6, 6:00 PM

A relaxed opportunity to both coach and be coached 😊 Bonny is collaborating with a range of coaches to bring coaching to **everyone**. Why? Full story [here](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/create-the-event-you-wish-existed). In brief: * Coaching can be life enhancing, inspiring, creative, and fun * Everyone can learn coaching skills * Having the experience of both coaching and being coached is doubly valuable * Peer-to-peer connections are special :-) **At THE COACHING CLUB, we will:** * Learn a new skill * See how it works in a short demo * Practice in pairs * Shuffle the pairs (several times) * Reflect together Bonny (and occasional co-hosts) will guide a process, but you will also receive a tiny booklet for illustration (a Zine by [LESS STRESS PRESS](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress)) 👀 **NOTES ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERE:** Although we’ll be learning new skills we'll also be aiming to have an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun. This will be less like school and more like a thoughtful and interactive evening in a pub. **WHO SHOULD COME:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the experience. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to create space for one another. **WHERE WE’LL MEET:** The Fitzroy Tavern, Charlotte Street, W1T 2LY. We will be upstairs in the "Private Dining Room". Please ask at the bar if you can't find us. **YOUR HOST:** **Bonny** has lots of experience in community building (e.g. [THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS](https://www.meetup.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize)) and facilitating peer support spaces (e.g. Intentional Peer Support, Hearing Voices Network, Open Dialogue, Talk4Health).

HANGING OUT AT THE SOUTH BANK

Fri, Oct 16, 7:00 PM

Inspired by Sheila Liming's 2023 book, Hanging Out, this event is about "*daring to do nothing much, and even more than that, about daring to do it in the company of others*." If you're curious, you can read more about my rationale for the event [here](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/hanging-out), and how our pilot event went [here](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/it-worked). This will be the 7th month in a row of 'HANGING OUT AT THE SOUTHBANK' - it's going well! **This event will take place in the foyer of The Southbank Centre.** You can find us by looking out for: * Me - I will be wearing a black T-shirt with HANGING OUT written on the back * Our table - we usually gather at the tall tables in the Festival Bar & Kitchen on Level 2. Our table will have a sign on it 'HANGING OUT' (see attached photos). There are plenty of places to buy refreshments, but you can also bring your own if you prefer. If you feel like using this event as a carrot for some creative work, please join us an hour earlier for [WRITE CLUB](https://www.meetup.com/experimentsin/events/316536674) \- an hour of silent writing/reading in the same location\. And if you'd like to finish the evening with a dance, there is a free social salsa meetup just outside The Southbank Centre just afterwards. More info [here](https://www.instagram.com/salserosfriends/). [WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/FgGCrGc8TNzF8q7lvwozbR) [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/experimentsingroupwisdom) [SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/) Looking forward to meeting and hanging out with you :-) Bonny

WRITE CLUB: one hour of silent writing (or reading) in the company of others

Fri, Oct 16, 6:00 PM

The first rule of WRITE CLUB is that you do not talk ***during*** WRITE CLUB. This very simple meetup is based on the premise that public and peer accountability enables more productive writing than sitting at home and getting distracted by the fridge. We will write/read for an hour in silence. (I will be writing thought experiments for my other meetup group: [THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBLIC](https://www.meetup.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs)) If you'd like to hang out afterwards, or if you prefer just to hang out, I have another event immediately afterwards in the same place :-) You can find that here: [HANGING OUT AT THE SOUTHBANK](https://www.meetup.com/experimentsin/events/316536684) And if you'd like to finish the evening with a dance, there is a free social salsa meetup just outside The Southbank Centre just afterwards. More info [here](https://www.instagram.com/salserosfriends/). **This event will take place in the foyer of The Southbank Centre.** You can find us by looking out for: * A tote bag with WRITE CLUB sewn onto it * My T-Shirt, which will have HANGING OUT embroidered on the back of it * Other writers - who may be spread out across the centre. They will have white pieces of paper with the WRITE CLUB stamp at the top of the page. There are plenty of places to buy refreshments, but you can also bring your own if you prefer. [WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/BpMwnRev0H237KMx4uPnek) [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/experimentsingroupwisdom) [SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/) Looking forward to meeting and writing with you :-) Bonny

OCTOBER TEiP DAY RETREAT • FREE • EPPING FOREST | Thought Experiments in Public

Sun, Oct 11, 10:00 AM

From I WANTED TO DO THAT THIS WEEKEND...Just not alone!!

**A free day retreat under the trees, co-produced by our community.** For all the up to date info and exact location, here's our **[DIGITAL ZINE](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/teipdayretreat-october2026)** We held the first TEiP Day Retreat in August and it was a great success! So we're tempting fate and doing it again in October. This is a fair-weather event. If it rains, we will cancel the retreat and hang out at the Southbank instead. This time, we have an even bigger line up of activities, so please join us in praying for dry weather! **How does a outdoor day retreat connect to TEiP (THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBLIC)?** TEiP has become a thriving community because our events create opportunities for people to get straight into meaningful, imaginative, creative conversations. The Day Retreats are opportunities to take that imagination and creativity and sense of community to the next level. They are an opportunity for people to share and learn from one another in the same openminded, relaxed spirit as TEiP. It's outside because we love nature and our last outside event attracted a huge number of RSVPs demonstrating major enthusiasm for outdoor gatherings. Of course, October weather is unpredictable. If it rains heavily, we will cancel the retreat and instead arrange an informal hang out at the Southbank. **How will it work?** * We'll gather in one of London's pockets of forest (Epping Forest) for a day. * There will be a central hub for '[hanging out](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/hanging-out)' and the occasional TEiP style round of conversation. * In nearby clearings and 'rooms of the forest', throughout the day, there will be optional activities hosted by community members (e.g. improv, forest bathing, poetry, origami, etc.) * It will all be free! **Please [get in touch](https://www.alltogether.one/contact) if you'd like to run an activity 😊** **And please come along if you'd like to hang out and possibly try something new ❤️** **Notes on the general atmosphere:** * The vibe is relaxed, collaborative, and friendly. * Participate in as much or as little as you wish. * We appreciate both depth and levity in our conversations. * A 'beginner's mind' takes the pressure off everything. **Who should come:** Everyone! This group is not about being experts. The more perspectives, the richer our conversations and the richer our collective creativity. By bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world together, we all become a little wiser. **What to bring**: * Something to sit on - picnic rug, camping chair, plastic bag (handy because it can double as a bin-bag at the end of the day) * Water * Other drinks/snacks for yourself (you can share if you want to, but there's no pressure) * Layers, sunglasses, umbrella... it's London **Where we'll meet:** * Epping Forest - for the exact location and directions, check out our digital 'zine': https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/teipdayretreat-october2026 **Some relevant links:** Substack - [Upcoming events and our evolving story](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/) 💌 Instagram -[Scrapbook and thought provoking stuff](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpubs) ❤️ Whatsapp - [Occasional announcements](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DapwAXpnOHO5DRYThobpe4) Looking forward to meeting & talking & spending time under the trees with you! Bonny ❤️ N.B. we may take some photographs and videos at this event to share the story and help others discover our events. By attending, you acknowledge that you may appear in photos or videos. If you would prefer not to be included, just tell one of the organisers and we'll happily respect your wishes. #CoProduction #Creativity #Community #TEiPinthepark #ThoughtExperimentsInPubs #thegreatoutdoors #BritishSummer #Inclusivity #Openmindedness

Behind the Highlight: The Pressure from Social Media

Thu, Sep 24, 5:30 PM

From Behind the Highlight, Women's Conversation Group

**This is a women-only gathering.** **Please reserve your spot on our Luma event page [HERE](https://luma.com/6tazlpe7) ❤️** **Just clicking "Attend" on Meetup won't confirm your spot.** \-\-\- ✨ *Let’s talk about the parts of life that don’t make the highlight reel ✨* *We’re a space for women to connect and grow through conversation. We don’t shy away from the unfiltered stuff. Things beyond the picture-perfect. The ‘real life’ topics you’d only share with your close friends.* *It’s time we went behind the highlight.* **WHAT WILL HAPPEN? 🧐** This event will involve structured conversations, built to get past the surface. You'll go at whatever depth feels right for you. You'll start with **one-to-one conversations** 👥, move into **small groups of four** 🗣️ and close with a short **writing moment** ✍🏼 that becomes part of our **Reflection Wall 🎯**, a collection of what the room doesn't usually get to say out loud. Each part is guided by thoughtfully designed prompts. No one is put on the spot. No forced vulnerability, just structure that makes it easier to go somewhere real. **THE THEME OF THIS SESSION 💭** **The Pressure from Social Media 📱** Comparison, self-presentation and the pressure to look like you’re doing just fine. **JOIN US 🎟️** We’re managing all registrations through Luma ❤️ Please reserve your spot for this London event on our **[Luma event page](https://luma.com/6tazlpe7).** *Arrive open. Connect honestly.* **FAQs ❓** **Who can attend this event?** This event is for women, cis and trans alike. **What's the age range of those attending?** Most attendees are expected to be in their 20s and 30s, though there's no strict age requirement. **Can I come alone?** Of course. The whole event is designed with solo attendees in mind, so you won’t be standing around trying to find someone to talk to. You'll be guided the whole way through. **Is there a dress code, or anything I need to bring?** Come as you are. Nothing to bring, just yourself and an open, curious mind. **How much does this event cost?** Spots for this pilot are complimentary, with future events ticketed. Come say hi 💬 [@behind_the_highlight](https://www.instagram.com/behind_the_highlight)

We have the room until 10pm and usually a lot of us stay until then :-) **Notes on the general atmosphere**: * The vibe is to let conversation flow rather than stick strictly to one topic. * While we'd like to talk about 'meaningful things', we also see the value in lighter topics, so don't worry about not being 'deep' enough! * Feel free to suggest ideas for future Thought Experiments in Pubs meetup groups, both in terms of structure and topics to discuss. **Where we'll meet**: This group will be at The Betjeman Arms. The nearest Tube station is King's Cross St. Pancras. You can access the pub either from the street (entrance to the right of The St Pancras Hotel entrance) or via St Pancras Station (entrance from the upstairs train platforms). We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us. **Who should come**: Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc.... I'm so looking forward to meeting & talking with you in this beautiful location.
