About us
In ancient Greece, the Agora was a place where people gathered to exchange ideas, host performances, and engage with their community. Inspired by this tradition, our group is a space for thoughtful conversation, shared experiences, and intellectual adventure.
Whether we're discussing philosophy, cooking a meal together, exploring museums, or traveling to new places, Agora is about connection—with each other and with the world around us. This is a community powered by the people who show up, and everyone's voice helps shape what we create together. If you enjoy deep conversations, meaningful experiences, and the company of inquisitive minds, join us as we create our own modern-day Agora.
Agora isn't just another discussion to join or event to attend—it's an invitation to explore what might be possible for ourselves and the world around us.
REQUIREMENTS
No credentials are needed—just a willingness to share your experiences and ideas and to learn from others. This means listening respectfully even when you disagree, and being mindful not to dominate the conversation. Our goal is to create a supportive, engaging environment where everyone feels heard.
NOTE ON ATTENDANCE
If you need to cancel, please do so as soon as possible to be respectful of the organizer and others who wish to participate. Repeated cancellations or no-shows may result in being moved to the waitlist for future events, with attendance depending on whether spots open up. If you're on the waitlist, keep an eye out—spaces may become available at the last minute!
FEEDBACK
All feedback is welcome, and the organizer checks messages regularly. Agora belongs to its participants as much as it does to the organizer, and the goal is for it to grow into something shaped and co-created by its regular members. If you enjoy your experience and feel inspired, we’d love for you to take part in shaping future events—whether that’s hosting a discussion, organizing a hike, cooking a meal together, planning a trip, or bringing new ideas to the table. If you have something to offer or would like to get involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Literary Reading Group: “A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor
Cafedu, Škrétova 490/12, Prague, CZWe will discuss our reactions and interpretations of Flannery O'Connor's most anthologised short story, readable online in the first 32 pages of the document here (this document's spacing and font make the story much longer, it is about 11 pages in my edition).
This is a story from 1955 which builds on the theme of the southern gothic genre which we explored last time with Faulkner's story (though O'Connor self described her genre as "Christian Realism"). The story is interested in theological and moral questions, and will hopefully provide many interesting questions for us to ponder as we explore its ideas.
I look forward to speaking about it with you!
