What we’re about
The goal of the Practical Philosophy Club is to create a community that discusses ideas that can be used practically in everyday life.
Our discussions help us develop the following:
Critical Thinking / Discernment - through our conversational exploration, we question our own beliefs, and hear perspectives that can help us develop new insights. This exploration can carry into our assumptions in everyday life and help us develop.
Communication - By sharing our thoughts, we are developing our communication ability, and learning how to share in a way that is understandable and accessible to people who may not have the same belief.
Community - By having our discussions focused on a specific topic each week, we are able to get to know each other beyond small talk. There’s also time before and after the meetup to dive deeper with the other attendees. 🙌
Most importantly, we are a group that values community and care for one another.
We meet each week in various places throughout the world. To learn more about our community, see our open events, or join one of our groups around the world, visit our website: https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/

🏛️ 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, 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:- 18:00-18:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start.
- 18:15-18:25 - 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.
- 18:25-19:45 - 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.
- 19:45-20:00 - 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.
- 20:00 - 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 Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though!💛 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
- What will we talk about? What's the topic?
The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our Whatsapp.
- 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, but it's not required.
- 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 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 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.

Our website 👈 - Monthly Review & ReflectTche Tche Premier Restaurant & Cafe, Doha
The unexamined life is not worth living - Socrates
ℹ️ What's Monthly Review & Reflect about?
Monthly Review & Reflect is a calm, welcoming space to slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with yourself and others. We meet once a month, typically on the last Saturday evening, to pause, reflect on the month that’s passed, and set powerful intentions for the month ahead. This is a safe and encouraging group environment where you can share insights, learn, and grow together.📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?
Whether you’ve reflected or journaled before or not, no worries! We provide a simple, structured template to help guide your personal reflection across key areas of life focusing on the following points:
1. Purpose & Values: Reflect on your personal statement of purpose, core values, and long-term vision.
2. Areas of Focus (AOFs): Review and prioritize key life areas (e.g., Health, Career) and set goals with timelines.
3. Reflection & Intention: Evaluate past goals, adjust or archive unfinished tasks, and set clear intentions for next month.
4. Prioritization & Finalization: Focus on 2-3 major goals, break them into actionable steps, and define measurable outcomes.
5. Mantra: Choose a simple phrase to guide your mindset and stay aligned with your vision.
6. People & Community: Share wins, challenges, and intentions with the group for support and feedback.Links:
Feel free to freestyle if that suits you better. You’re welcome to bring your own journaling method, or explore the guided approach!
When groups get bigger than 5-6 people, we break into smaller groups; this way we are able to maintain a conversational flow and provide meaningful feedback.
🗂 GENERAL MEETING AGENDA
- 18:00 - 18:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start.
- 18:15 - 18:30 - Meeting introduction, explanation of the workflow so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines and breaking into small groups.

Q: Do I need to prepare anything in advance?
A: No preparation needed! Just bring yourself and optionally a notepad or laptop for journaling.
