This Brief Human Experience: A naturalist view of wonder, meaning, and reality

In every field, science, art, philosophy, culture, we’re ultimately circling the same mystery:

What is this brief human experience?

This recurring series invites you to explore that question from a wide range of perspectives, scientific, emotional, existential, and practical. Each session takes one theme, such as technology, death, memory, or meaning, and traces how it connects to the broader fabric of being human.

These are hybrid-style events. Core themes will be presented and framed at the start, followed by an open discussion where we explore the topic together. Whether you’re here to learn, share, or reflect, there’s space for thoughtful engagement.

We explore:
• How does awe show up in a world without superstition?
• What happens when we connect the silos of knowledge back to life?
• Can we find clarity and coherence in a fragmented world?

Whether you’re into physics or philosophy, psychology or poetry, this space is for people seeking deeper insight, without dogma.

Come for the curiosity. Stay for the thread.
Leave with a little more coherence.
