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 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.

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.

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)

**UN TOUR MUY COMPLETO PARA (RE)DESCUBRIR EL BORN** Muchos artistas han instalado **sus talleres en el Barrio de la Ribera**, heredando así la tradición de la zona en la que vivían los artesanos de la ciudad. Muchos de los nombres de las calles nos recuerdan hoy aquellos **viejos oficios y gremios**: Mirallers (espejeros), Sombrerers (sombrereros), Argenters (plateros)…, calles nacidas en las inmediaciones de la basílica de Santa María del Mar, obra maestra del gótico catalán. Desde el siglo XIII, la ciudad necesitaba expandirse fuera de las murallas, y por eso nació el que fue primero un suburbio y con el tiempo un **barrio de mercaderes y de las familias más ricas de Barcelona**. Y todo ello, con una importante tradición marinera a sus espaldas. La **calle Montcada**, actual núcleo de las galerías de arte y de importantes museos como el Picasso constituían el centro de aquella Barcelona rica. Los palacios medievales que hay allí nos recuerdan muy bien ese pasado: un período de esplendor truncado primero en el siglo XVI y, más tarde, con la guerra de Sucesión, cuando Felipe V hizo construir la ciudadela militar al otro lado del barrio de La Ribera. Ahora, entre las antiguas piedras de la Ribera se exhiben restaurantes, locales nocturnos y tiendas de moda, llenando de color un barrio viejo pero de belleza renovada. Al terminar el tour tenemos la opción de ir a tomar algo en un bar muy popular del barrio. **GUÍA:** Toni Bellido (guía oficial de Barcelona y Cataluña) **LENGUA DEL TOUR:** castellano **PRECIO:** 10 euros (a pagar en efectivo al comienzo del tour).

Hola , Gatos curiosos! **Esta nueva actividad sustituye a la anterior de los ferrocarriles de Vilanova , que he decidido postponer por problemas en RENFE Rodalies** en la actualidad. **Con tramos de vía muy deteriorados e inseguros , además de retrasos e incidencias**. Esta nueva visita es igual de interesante y se cogerán los ferrocarriles catalanes, que no presentan, por el momento, ningún retraso e incidencia. **En esta salida a Terrassa, los gatos curiosos vamos a ir al conjunto medieval visigodo de Égara, candidato a la Unesco como patrimonio cultural de la Humanidad.** Un conjunto precioso que, a nivel europeo, se presenta como u**na joya única visigoda** . La visita será guiada y estoy negociando el precio. En todo caso, no creo que sea muy elevado. Después nos dirigiremos a ver el **casco antiguo de Terrassa** y veremos su **enorme patrimonio modernista**. Después de comer por los alrededores, con la posibilidad de traer bocadillos o comer en restaurante, **iremos al museo nacional de la ciencia y la técnica de Cataluña.Este museo** **es una maravilla pues muestra el pasado industrial de Cataluña.** **La visita guiada por mí, es gratuita. Sólo se debe pagar el viaje con ferrocarriles hasta Terrassa, y la entrada a los museos(**no muy elevada), cuyo precio informaré cuando lo sepa. Esta visita nos ocupará bastante tiempo pues debemos visitar varios monumentos para que resulte completa. Se contempla quedarnos o llevarnos algo para comer allí y luego seguir visitando. Os espero en esta nueva aventura visigótica!! La salida del museo de Ferrocarriles a Vilanova cancelada se realizará cuando las condiciones de Renfe nos muestren mayor seguridad en ese tramo y cumplimiento de los horarios. Nuestra integridad es los primero! Y me preocupo por ella. Disculpad por las molestias. Para cualquier duda, llamadme al teléfono 606084183

This is the fourth in my "Satan" series. In the third session we ended with John Milton. We will continue the theme with William Blake, who was visited spiritually by Milton just as Milton was visited by his own muse. Blake was an engraver, poet, writer and painter. Many today believe he was a creative genius. He has inspired creatives including Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, Van Morrison, Billy Bragg, the beat poets including Allen Ginsberg, *Brave New World* author Aldous Huxley, *Hannibal* author Thomas Harris, *His Dark Materials* author Philip Pullman, *V for Vendetta* author Alan Moore and many others. And he has inspired me, and helped me understand what creativity really means, and how to live life authentically. During his life-time he was virtually unknown, and he died a pauper. A small exhibition of his work when he was 50 resulted in a solitary review, which said that Blake was an unfortunate lunatic who ought by rights to be in an asylum were it not for his mild manners. The poet William Wordsworth wrote, “There was no doubt that this poor man was mad” and the art critic John Ruskin called him “diseased and wild.” Even his wife said she didn't understand his work. He only sold 30 copies of his most popular book in his life-time, and didn't sell a single copy of others. But Blake's insights into creativity and existence don't require years of study — they require a willingness to see differently and have a very individual approach life. Everyone has their own Blake, and this session is going to be about mine. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever if you want to. **Our events fill up very quickly.

**Deep Talks: Explore, Connect, Grow** Are you craving conversations that go beyond the weather and work? Do you long to connect with others on a more meaningful level, exploring the big questions and delving into the intricacies of life, the universe, and everything in between? Deep Talks is a meetup group for curious minds who are eager to engage in thought-provoking discussions, share diverse perspectives, and foster genuine connections. We believe in creating a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment where everyone feels comfortable expressing their thoughts and listening actively to others. **What to Expect**: * The primary language would be English, however in exceptional scenario we could switch if everyone is comfortable with another language. * Engaging Topics: We'll explore a wide range of subjects, from philosophy, psychology, and spirituality to current events, personal growth, and the future of humanity. We often have topics prepared for the day but we welcome topics by attendees as well. * Respectful Dialogue: Our discussions are built on a foundation of respect. We encourage open-mindedness, empathy, and a willingness to understand different viewpoints, even when they differ from our own. * No Experts Required: You don't need to be an expert in any field to participate. All that's required is a curious mind and a desire to engage in thoughtful conversation. **Join Us If You**: * Are tired of superficial small talk * Love to ponder life's big questions. * Enjoy hearing diverse perspectives. * Seek to connect with like-minded individuals * Are open to challenging your own assumptions. **What to bring**: * Your curiosity, enthusiasm and openess * Please as a courtesy, order a drink or food at the cafe and make sure to pay for it at the end.
 Come ready to listen, share, and dive deep! We can't wait to meet you and explore the depths together. 
Please make sure you're definitely able to make it before you RSVP. We don't want anyone missing out because someone else didn't show up. Thanks :)

Jimmy V's Grill & Pub in Grandview Heights. You are responsible for your own meal/drinks. We usually don't have any agenda other than eat, drink and talk. :) If the weather is nice we will be on the back patio, otherwise we are in the cigar room. This group has been meeting every Tuesday evening for over a decade. Many attendees do not RSVP on meetup. Please don't let the small number here discourage you. Anyone/everyone is welcome to come. We'd love to have you join us. COTA bus #5 comes to W. 5th and Wyandotte Rd. And it's a minute walk to the restaurant. *** Did you know that there are atheists everywhere?!?! You may not know it, but we are! We're in your schools, diners, police force, military, government, and some are even still in your churches! So come and join us and meet other local atheists, along with agnostics, heathens, humanists, skeptics, and anyone else who's 'hell bound'! Vision: a Central Ohio that accepts atheism as a viable alternative in all areas of public and private life. Mission: grow, support, and provide community for atheists in Central Ohio. Social meetings held most Tuesdays at a local pub/restaurant at 7:00 PM (and often into the wee hours). Attendees call themselves agnostics, skeptics, humanists, non-theists, deists or even theists. All attendees are welcome but should support our vision. Atheists of Columbus (AoC) is part of Omnipresent Atheists (OA). AoC members are invited to join this OA meetup and/or OA Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/omnipresentatheists/ ) but are free to continue conversations on the AoC Facebook group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/columbusatheists/ ). AoC was founded in 2012 as a networking, social group for Central Ohio area humanists, skeptics, atheists, agnostics, nonbelievers, freethinkers, and the curious.

[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).

**Caller: Frank Buschelmann** **Band: The Rosenthorns** **Big Scioty Contra Dance** **temporarily returning to our long ago location for Jan-March - First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St., Columbus 43215** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle. Snacks to share are always welcome!
