POP UP! Thought Experiments in Pubs at The Oxford Retreat • discussing CURIOSITY

We're coming back to Oxford! This time to The Oxford Retreat with the theme: CURIOSITY. We'll explore curiosity by way of 3 thought experiments designed to get us thinking differently...

INSTAGRAM - see what we look like
FACEBOOK - ditto
WEBSITE - sign up to the newsletter, support, & feed back
WHATSAPP GROUP - stay in the loop

The idea: A chance to meet and talk at a 'deeper' level than 'small talk'.

How we'll do it (timings approximate):

• 6:30pm - Arrive at the pub.
• Grab a drink, find a seat, and settle in.
• Small groups (3-6ish) tend to be the best recipe for a good conversation, but it's up to you how your configure your groups
• Have a look at the thought experiments - posted here on the day of the event.
• 6:45pm - First rotation begins - Talk about the first thought experiment. If you don’t want to talk about that one, move on to another one. Feel free to veer off topic.
• 7:05pm - Optional shuffle: swap groups, move on to the second thought experiment.
• 7:30pm - Optional shuffle: swap groups, move on to the third thought experiment.
• 7:55pm - Wrap up, hear about upcoming events, feedback/requests for future meetups.
• 8:00 Meetup ‘ends’. But feel free to carry on conversations :-)

Notes on the general atmosphere:
The vibe is to let conversation flow rather than stick strictly to one topic.
While we'd like to talk about 'meaningful things', we also see the value in lighter topics, so don't worry about not being 'deep' enough!
Feel free to suggest ideas for future Thought Experiments in Pubs meetup groups, both in terms of structure and topics to discuss.

Where we'll meet:
This event will be at The Oxford Retreat in Oxford. The post code is: OX1 2EW. We will have our usual red banners with us so we'll be easy to spot!

Who should come:
Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. By bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to discussions we have the opportunity to learn from one another and see things differently.

Places are limited to 20-25 people and tickets are £5.

Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend so that someone else can have your place 🙏

Looking forward to meeting & talking with you!
