What we’re about
Thinking While Drinking is a group for anyone in the Orange County area interested in discussing topics that will exercise, stimulate and expand your mind - all while enjoying a drink at different locations in our beautiful county.
For each event, the facilitators will come prepared with a handful of thought provoking questions and concepts on the topic at hand, we'll see what everyone has to say and go from there...
We are not suggesting that life's difficult and fascinating questions will be neatly answered during our meetups nor that any sort of professional therapy or dogma will take place. This is just a space to meet other curious, sociable and open-minded people in an atmosphere of exploration and enjoyment.
Last but not least, our group is run entirely by volunteers and your donations go a long way to keep us afloat. Help support us by contributing to our Patreon.
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you (online for now) at an upcoming event!

Consciousness is the invisible force behind our thoughts, emotions, and sense of self—both a scientific mystery and a sacred experience.
In this discussion, we’ll explore what it means to be truly aware, why it remains unsolved by science, and how it connects us to something greater than ourselves.
- What does "consciousness" mean to you, personally?
- Do you believe we are more than just our brain and body? Why or why not?
- Why do you think consciousness is still such a mystery, even with all our science and technology?
- Have you ever had an experience that made you question what consciousness really is?
- Do you think we all experience reality the same way? How would we ever really know?
- If you could fully understand just one thing about consciousness, what would it be?
To help in the planning and execution of our events, you can contribute on our Patreon page. Thank you to those that have become patrons - it really does mean a lot and helps support ongoing events!
