Besides learning the language, you will also get to make new friends from all around the world. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate and advanced learner, we welcome you. The meetup starts at 4 pm. We will try our best to arrange seating at this time so that each group has expert Mandarin speakers. If you come later than 4.10 pm we cannot guarantee ideal seating. Seating priorities will be given to those who signed up. **欢迎会说华语/普通话的朋友** 我们非常欢迎会说华语/普通话的朋友来参加我们这个华语/普通话练习小组，帮助来自世界各地的朋友学习华语/普通话。 *** GETTING THERE Take Downtown (blue) Line or Circle (yellow) Line to Promenade MRT. Take Exit C at Promenade MRT, and go up to level 3. LOCATING US INSIDE THE FOOD COURT Look for a round tables section near the wall of the food court away from the stalls. You can drop the Event Host a message if you are lost. NO COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES We welcome anyone who is keen to learn a language or help others learn the language. However, this is NOT the platform for individuals who have other intentions, such as recruiting members for their business or organization or selling products or services. We will not hesitate to ask such individuals to stop attending our meetups.

🏛️ **WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Dsjl0cwLVxR4tw1jTC1Osx?mode=gi_t), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though! 💛 **WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * ​What will we talk about? What's the topic? ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Dsjl0cwLVxR4tw1jTC1Osx?mode=gi_t). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Dsjl0cwLVxR4tw1jTC1Osx?mode=gi_t) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group!

This course moves beyond intellectual understanding to offer experiential techniques designed to transform your spiritual connection through. * **Understanding the Nature of the Soul**: You will learn about the journey of the soul through incarnations and discover the energetic "seeds" in your aura that act as recorders, affecting your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual life. * **Strengthening the Antahkarana (the Spiritual Cord)**: A central practice involves increasing the size of the "communication cable" between your Higher Soul and Incarnated Soul. This is the "shaft of light" often depicted in religious art. By strengthening this connection, you accelerate the flow of intuition, guidance, and spiritual energy into your daily life. * **The Meditation on the Higher Soul (Blue Pearl)**: This guided meditation is a synthesis of ancient techniques kept secret for centuries. Its purpose is to directly facilitate the union of the lower and higher selves, which is the true meaning of Yoga and Illumination. * **Foundational Knowledge**: Builds on foundational topics such as the three permanent seeds, the inner caduceus, and its relationship to the safe awakening of Kundalini energy. While it all appears deeply spiritual, it grounds the knowledge into practical, tangible benefits that you can experience in your daily life, even amidst a busy and chaotic environment. Regular practice of the techniques will bring about: * **Inner Peace and Clarity**: Experience a new level of calmness, stability, and one-pointedness, allowing you to remain positive and patient even under pressure. * **Increased Intuition**: Learn to recognize and trust the impulses and guidance coming from your Higher Soul, helping you to make better decisions. * **Purpose and Confidence**: Gain a clearer understanding of your life’s purpose and destiny. This knowledge brings an inner confidence, as you realize that all worldly problems are temporary, while your connection to your Higher Soul is permanent.. * **Character Building**: The course also includes powerful self-development tools and techniques for character building, which are essential for creating positive, lasting changes in all areas of your life and much, much more! More than 2000 participants have attended this workshop since we brought it here..now, it’s your chance to experience it! **👉🏻 [Register with us Today!](https://form.jotform.com/260441266116450)**
