**El planazo de los lunes: pasar un momento entre amigos, hablando español. Todos los asistentes deben comprar al menos una bebida para apoyar al pub. Muchas gracias. ¡Nos vemos! 😊**

*this event is advertised elsewhere so there will be more people coming than stated* **✨ Welcome to Conundrum Corner at The Union Jack pub, Southwark! ✨** Step inside and join a gathering *of* open minds and kind hearts. Whether you bring a conundrum of your own that you are experiencing or simply your listening ear, you’ll find a welcoming space to share, reflect, and explore life’s tricky questions together. 🌿 **What to expect:** *You’re invited to share a conundrum, dilemma or question that you yourself are experiencing. - We’ll vote to choose a few intriguing ones to explore more deeply. *With a few extra details in hand, we’ll break into small groups for thoughtful discussion. - Then, we’ll come together as one big group to share insights, perspectives, and perhaps even some fresh solutions. The atmosphere is **analytical yet empathetic, thoughtful yet light-hearted**, and always non-judgmental. Whether your conundrum is personal, professional, or just a head-scratcher, we’re here to help unravel it together. 💸 There’s no set fee to attend, but we do ask for donations on the night to cover costs - which are warmly appreciated! 🍷 Please also support our lovely hosts, Jade and co., by buying yourself a drink at the bar (and food’s available if you fancy a bite). 💡 **What’s a conundrum, you ask?** A conundrum is any dilemma, crossroads, or confusion in your life—big or small. It could be a **"chicken and egg"** situation, a **"catch-22"**, or a **"have your cake and eat it"** kind of puzzle. Sometimes, life just throws us complex, messy questions—and that’s what we’re here to navigate together. Once our deep discussions wind down, we’ll slip into **pub mode**—a chance to relax, connect, and continue chatting with newfound friends. **🛡️ Code of Conduct - *please note*** Conundrum Corner is committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all attendees. Any abuse, harassment, or inappropriate behaviour towards other attendees, whether during the event or in any contact related to the event afterwards, will result in permanent removal from the Meetup group and exclusion from future events. Come along for an evening of intriguing conversations, fresh perspectives, and a touch of serendipity. Looking forward to seeing you there! Helena x

Join us for open minded discussions and the opportunity to learn from other people's perspectives and life experiences. This episode will explore the topic of 'CLASS' by way of three original thought experiments. This episode's thought experiments are written by TEiP regular, Ben, and will be posted in the comments below on the day of the event. We'll meet at the beautiful Betjeman Arms in St Pancras Station. Spaces are limited and tickets sell out fast, so get your ticket early if you want to be there! **THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS** \- posted in the comments below on the day of the event **[SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/)** \- read more about this community and other related stuff **[INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpubs/)** \- see what we look like \(including The People of TEiP project\) **[WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DapwAXpnOHO5DRYThobpe4)** \- stay in the loop **The idea:** A chance to meet and talk meaningfully about thought provoking topics. **How we'll do it** (timings approximate): * 7:00pm - Arrive at The Betjeman Arms. You can access the pub either from the street (entrance to the right of The St Pancras Hotel entrance) or via St Pancras Station (entrance from the upstairs train platforms). We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us. * Organise ourselves into small groups (3-4 people per group) * Have a look at the **thought experiments** (announced on the day of the event) * 7:15 - First rotation begins - Talk about the first thought experiment, but feel free to veer off topic. * 7:35 - Optional reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the second thought experiment. * 8:00 - Optional reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the third thought experiment. * 8:25pm - Wrap up - hear about upcoming events, feedback/requests for future meetups. * 8:30 Meetup ‘ends’. But feel free to carry on conversations. We have the room until 10pm and usually a lot of us stay until then :-) **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 group will be at The Betjeman Arms. The nearest Tube station is King's Cross St. Pancras. You can access the pub either from the street (entrance to the right of The St Pancras Hotel entrance) or via St Pancras Station (entrance from the upstairs train platforms). We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us. **Who should come**: Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc.... I'm so looking forward to meeting & talking with you in this beautiful location :-) If you would like to further support these meetups, please [subscribe to the newsletter](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/) and [follow us on instagram](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpubs) :-) Thank you!

You can join the walk at any point you like. You can walk the full 50 km or just join for 30 minutes. You can join for 1 hour, go home, take a nap, and rejoin in the evening, for example. It is totally up to you — no pressure! * A live location will be shared on the MoHu group chat throughout the day, so you will always know where to join us. * There will be many short 15-minute breaks every 2 hours, where we can have toilet and fuel breaks. Details will be shared on Meetup and the MoHu group chat. * After the walk, we may go to a pub or get some drinks outside (picnic style) if we still have energy. As this will be a spontaneous decision, the location will not be decided or shared in advance. * Route: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9](https://maps.app.goo.gl/wMwDow1sPc3MUVNH9) **★Recommended items to bring** * Electrolytes * Easy carbs/snacks (bananas, protein bars, sandwiches, gels, nuts, flapjacks, etc.) * Portable charger / power bank * Spare T-shirts (You don't want to be too stinky... oh, and it may rain...) * Blister plasters (These can be useful after walking beyond 30 km) * Sunscreen SPF 50+ **★Recommended things to do** * Sip water with electrolytes as frequently as possible during the walk * Stretch your calves briefly at every break point * Install Strava on your phone and record your walk to show off to your friends ([https://www.strava.com/](https://www.strava.com/)) * Monitor hotspots on your feet early (fix friction immediately before it becomes a blister) **[Hun]** Üdvözlünk a MoHu-n (Monthly Hungarian Professionals Meetup)!

A sétához bármikor csatlakozhatsz. Lehet, hogy végigsétálod az egész 50 km-t, de az is teljesen rendben van, ha csak 30 percre csatlakozol. Akár 1 órát is sétálhatsz, hazamehetsz szundítani egyet, majd este újra csatlakozhatsz. Teljesen rajtad múlik — semmi nyomás! * Az élő helyzetmegosztást egész nap megosztjuk a MoHu csoportchatben, így mindig tudni fogod, hol tudsz csatlakozni hozzánk. * Körülbelül 2 óránként lesznek rövid, 15 perces szünetek, ahol tudunk mosdózni és enni-inni egyet. A részleteket a Meetupon és a MoHu csoportchatben osztjuk meg. * A séta után lehet, hogy elmegyünk egy pubba vagy iszunk valamit a szabadban (piknik stílusban), ha még marad energiánk.

**This is an opportunity for you to meet native English speakers and get lots of conversation practise and see some London sights** **Our walk starts at**:- Richmond station (District, Mildmay lines, National lines), we'll Meetup just outside the exit on the left in the small photo. We'll **start walking at 11am** or soon after. I'll try to post a Location Sharing link to help you keep track of me or catch up, especially if you're late to the start. Toilets are near the station. Our walk is Richmond to Barnes Bridge. I estimate we'll be walking for about 3½hours **The walk ends at**:- Barnes Bridge Rail station, and for those that want to, we can go to a nearby tavern. The train station is National Rail, I'll be using one of the three bus routes outside the station to get home **About the walk**. Basically the walk is fairly flat with steps here and there, the surface is generally hard concrete/stone/tarmac/road, soil etc. i.e. varied. I'll try to post some photos beforehand to give you an idea. Please post your photos too :)

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
