Curious Listeners

Hi and welcome to our next Socrates Café philosophy meetup! Do you have a hunger for deeper understanding of yourself and the world? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then this meetup will be very interesting for you. • WHAT IS A MEETUP ABOUT? At every meetup we have a discussion using Socratic method: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method) We ask, answer and discuss questions and ideas to stimulate critical thinking and to widen our perspectives with new concepts and thoughts. The main purpose of these meetups is to enrich ourselves with the perspectives of others, not to convince others about our own perspectives. Our meetups are about our own philosophies of life and not necessarily what the great philosophers and academics have said or written. It is not a debating club or a platform for proselytizing. Instead, we place the emphasis on questioning, open mindedness and challenging our own assumptions while listening to and respecting the views shared by others. A Socrates Café meetup is considered a success when participants leave a discussion with many more questions than they had at the beginning. • WHAT TOPIC IS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETUP? Participants suggest topics at the beginning of each meeting. We then vote and choose that event's most popular topic for discussion. No academic training in philosophy necessary; just enthusiasm for exchanging ideas and points of view. Some examples of subjects chosen on previous meetups: * What ideals are worth dying for? * Why are we never satisfied? * Why is it that human beings know that the society is going wrong, leaders are well informed about it and things continue as is? * Is identity necessary? * How can it be that people in democratic societies are so obsessed with power? (Desire to be different, better, stronger than others) * What is friendship? • WHO PARTICIPATES AT THIS MEETUP? Anybody is more than welcome to join our meetups. Our events gather people from different backgrounds, different cultures, while no philosophical background is mandatory. Our usual participants are people that have a hunger for deeper understanding of themselves and the world. People that value deep, honest and respectful dialogue. The inspiration for Socrates Cafe originates with the book of the same name, written by the philosopher Christopher Phillips. (Socrates Cafe: A Fresh Taste of Philosophy, 2002). Phillips felt that the Socratic method of dialogue and discussion should be practiced not just in academic settings, but among everyday people interested in examining deep questions together. Hundreds of Socrates Cafe groups now exist around the world.

Ciao! Este **domingo** te invito a una **escapada costera** para dar la bienvenida al verano como se merece: con *“sapore di sale”* en la piel y arena en los pies. Comenzaremos nuestra caminata desde la **estación de Renfe de Sant Pol de Mar**, siguiendo un recorrido a pie por la costa, entre **bonitas calas** como **Cala Vinyeta, Cala d’en Pere y Cala Roca Grossa**, y **playas salvajes** que nos regalarán la oportunidad de darnos un refrescante baño 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️ y disfrutar de la playa un rato (la idea es quedarnos en una de las calas para mas o menos 1 hora) .

Sonido, vibración y percepción en Casa Templo Montserrat Vivimos rodeados de estímulos, información y ruido. Nuestros oídos reciben constantemente vibraciones, pero escuchar de verdad es otra cosa. Este concierto propone una experiencia de escucha consciente a través de las Bilas, campanas planas de alta frecuencia creadas por Mark Pulido tras años de investigación sobre el sonido, la percepción y la conciencia. Las Bilas generan un paisaje de armónicos, resonancias y vibraciones de larga duración que dialogan con la acústica del espacio y con quien las escucha. A medida que la atención se dirige hacia la interacción entre sonidos y silencios, surge una forma diferente de percibir, más abierta, más profunda y más receptiva. Durante la experiencia, el cuerpo descansa mientras la percepción se expande. Los sonidos activan recuerdos, emociones, imágenes y estados internos, permitiendo observar cómo responde nuestro cuerpo, cómo cambian nuestros pensamientos y cómo se transforma nuestro estado emocional. Más allá de un concierto convencional, se trata de una invitación a recuperar una capacidad esencial: escuchar plenamente. PROGRAMA 18:00 · Bienvenida y presentación Introducción al trabajo de investigación sonora desarrollado con las Bilas y claves para la escucha consciente. Meditación guiada con fosfeno. 18:20 · Concierto inmersivo con las Bilas Un recorrido sonoro basado en vibraciones, armónicos y resonancias de larga duración que favorecen la atención, la presencia y la exploración perceptiva. 20:20 · Cierre y espacio de integración Tiempo para permanecer en silencio, integrar la experiencia y compartir impresiones. INFORMACIÓN 📅 Sábado 6 de junio de 2026 🕕 18:00 h 📍 Casa Templo Montserrat Plazas limitadas. Inscripciones: 655 965 783 "Escuchar es habitar el instante y percibir la vida vibrando desde un nivel más profundo."

Hola! Soy Bruna, profe de Yoga aquí en Barcelona con formación en Vinyasa Yoga, Yin Yoga y Yoga Pre y Post Natal. Actualmente estoy cursando una formación en Acupuntura y Medicina Tradicional China en la escuela Li Ping. Estoy fascinada por el potencial curativo que reside en el cuerpo, la belleza de sus movimientos y como a través del movimiento consciente, una mente enfocada y una respiración nutritiva, podemos llegar a conectar con nuestros cuerpos mas sutiles, recordando y cuidando nuestra parte espiritual. Mis clases en el barrio de Gracia son clases de Vinyasa Yoga: empiezan con una breve temática y pranayama, luego vamos hacia la secuencia de vinyasa yoga y acabamos con unas posturas de Yin Yoga para rendirnos completamente a la relajación al final de la practica. Ven a probar! Todos los jueves, de 20h a 21h en Sincronia Yoga (Carrer Pere Serafí, 7) Clase suelta 15 euros Abono mensual 40 euros (4 clases)

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
