What we’re about

Welcome to The Great Awakening Basel, a local group of independent people designed for those who favor free-thinking and intellectual exploration. Situated within the picturesque town of Basel, Switzerland, our group cultivates a space that encourages unrestrained intellectual curiosity and dialogues that challenge conventional paradigms.

Our collective ethos is grounded in the celebration of intellectual autonomy, a cornerstone that is woven into the fabric of our engaging discussions. We value the unimpeded freedom to probe, question, and scrutinize ideas and concepts, fostering a community that elevates these principles within the charming confines of Basel.

As architects of our future, we grapple with grandiose questions and welcome unconventional thought processes. We consciously evade tribalistic ideologies and partisan biases, choosing instead to uphold intellectual integrity. Our bedrock principles are humanistic convictions and an optimistic worldview that fuels our intellectual voyage.

While our group cherishes individual thinking, we advocate for a fluid structure that inspires our members and contributors to stimulate meaningful and constructive exchanges. We encourage a broad spectrum of perspectives and invite the fusion of diverse thought.

Our meetup discussions often delve into the 'alternative' territory, casting a wide net over the panoramic view of our shared reality. We embark on thrilling intellectual expeditions that might be perceived as fringe or even pseudo, and these journeys often beckon us towards unexpected rabbit holes. Most importantly, our discussions invariably bear the potential to reshape your understanding of reality.

We invite you to join us on this intriguing journey of intellectual exploration. Please RSVP to our upcoming events and contribute to the broad tapestry of ideas that defines The Great Awakening Basel. We eagerly anticipate your unique voice and perspective.
