The Connection Experiment
We all want authentic, meaningful connection.
But what does that look like in practice?
What does it mean to connect truly and meaningfully with another?
What does it mean to connect truly and meaningfully with ourselves?
Join us in this lighthearted experimental space as we explore the theme of connection not through theory, but through intentional lived experience.
Cultivate a deeper attunement with yourself and build self-trust while practising heartful connection with fellow likeminded women.
You may walk away with a new friend or two!
This event is held at a cosy art gallery in the City Hall area, and the group size is intentionally kept small to foster a more intimate connection.

Singapore Founders Meetup: Work, Money, Belonging, and e-Nations
**About the Event**
The global architecture around us, work, money, and nations, are being reimagined for a hyper digital borderless world.
\*\*\*REGISTER [HERE](https://luma.com/j78i1hau)\*\*\*
This is a joint event between [e-America](https://e-america.org/), [Aspire](https://aspireapp.com/), and [Mamba Partners](https://www.mambapartners.com/).
We are bringing together a small group of founders, builders and investors in Singapore for a casual evening of community building.
The theme of the event is that the core systems we rely on, how we work, how we earn, and how we belong, are starting to change.
Across Asia, startups are increasingly being built across multiple markets from day one. Talent is fluid across cities like Singapore, Bangalore, and Hong Kong. Capital is global. And new forms of coordination are beginning to emerge alongside these shifts.
We will spend a bit of time exploring these ideas, then keep things open and social.
**Format**
Short and casual panel
Short Q&A
Networking, light snacks and drinks
**Speakers**
-[James Sun](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamessun1/), Founder of [Mamba Partners](https://www.mambapartners.com/)
-[Vikram Bharati](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vikrambharati/), Co-Founder of [e-America](https://e-america.org/)
-[Alyssa Ng Misialek](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssanicoleng/), Head of [Aspire for Startups](https://aspireapp.com/)
**What We’ll Explore**
-**Work:** New models of earning, participation, and ownership
-**Money:** Global banking, money movement, and what breaks
-**e-Nations:** Digital citizenship, borderless nations, and new forms of belonging
**Who Should Come**
Startup founders building or thinking globally, especially those operating across Asia, curious about where work, money, and e-nations are heading.

What does it mean to think critically?
Most of us were told to think critically at school. Almost none of us were taught how.
That gap was always there. It's just that now you're making hundreds of decisions a day inside systems specifically designed to exploit it. Feeds that reward reaction over reflection, content that's optimised to feel true rather than be true, and AI that can generate a convincing argument for almost anything. The cost of not thinking carefully has never been higher. Neither has the pressure not to bother. In this discussion, we visit this topic with the intent of simply thinking about it, because we believe this is the first step against a quiet avoidance of a very real problem.
***Some questions we'll be sitting with:***
* When did someone last genuinely change your mind — and what did it take?
* Is there a difference between thinking critically and just being difficult?
* Are you choosing what to learn based on who you are, or who you think you should be?
* How is AI changing the way you think?
* Can you think clearly about something you care deeply about?
* What would you believe differently if you'd grown up somewhere else?
**What to expect**
The format is conversational. We sit in a circle. There's a short provocation to open ie a reading, a question, a claim worth disputing. Then we talk. A facilitator keeps things moving and honest. Sessions run two hours.
This is Session One. It's free. Seating is intentionally capped at 20 so the conversation stays real. Come with an open mind and connect with like-minded people.
**The Postmodern Place** is a monthly discussion community for people who want to engage seriously with ideas. Philosophy, society, culture, the forces shaping how we live. We read carefully, argue honestly, and try to leave with a clearer picture than when we walked in.
No academic background required. No prior reading necessary. The only thing you need to bring is a willingness to think out loud with strangers.
Free Life Coaching Session!
**A)** You want to enjoy your career
**B)** You want to enjoy your personal life
**C)** You want to reach your potential
**D)** You want insightful, transformative conversations that allow you to tap into the best of yourself
**E)** You want to live up to your full potential and move forward in life
**F)** You want to make it happen and no longer want to drift along
**1)** Roger Federer, the greatest tennis player of all time, has a coach. Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, had a coach. Mark Zukerberg and Richard Branson had coaches.
**2)** Roger Federer, Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg and Richard Branson did not overcome their obstacles by attending feel good motivational talks that are over-priced 3 days rah rah concerts in disguise.
**3)** They go for the real thing. They know that such rah rah talks cannot address specific challenges.
**4)** Now, if these successful people have coaches, why should you be shy of coaching? Having a coach is as as natural as going to the doctor when you have a fever that doesn't go away with panadol. Having a coach is as natural as going to a mechanic when you can't figure out why your car cannot start.
**5)** Empower Advisory is committed to give you a full single session of FREE life coaching. Absolutely FREE. We believe that the more successful you are, the better the world will be. You will get a professional personality assessment to understand yourself better and a one to one coaching session that is easily worth a few hundred dollars.
**6)** All information shared in the coaching session is kept strictly confidential. You are not judged in any way (unlike your family, friends or colleagues) and can be totally yourself. We just strive to give you a leg up.
**7)** All coaching sessions are on a one to one basis. A date and time will be arranged for you upon your life coaching request. All schedule will be arranged according to our Principal Life Coach's availability.
**8)** Just whatsapp 8332 4283 to book your slot.
**9)** Enjoy a personalised one to one or small group discussion in the fun setting of Members Only - Mandala Club at 31 Bukit Pasoh Rd, Singapore 089845. It's in town and it's easy to get there via Outram Park MRT station!
**10)** To book a session, whatsapp Admin Dave at 83324283. If you have RSVP-ed for a private session, do whatsapp to confirm your attendance too! Sessions will only happen if they are confirmed.
Sleep Better Tonight
Many busy adults are doing their best to get quality sleep. Yet we often go to bed with a racing mind, wake up at 3 am, or get 7 hours of sleep and feel anything but rested. Over time, this can lead to fatigue, health issues and reduced performance.
Modern work culture, the need for me time, and adulting responsibilities all make it hard to have a consistent routine. Even when we find the time, we're often not sure whether what we're doing is actually working.
This interactive workshop goes beyond generic sleep advice. We will build change-resilient habits that work for individuals. We will explore options for designing a bedtime routine that fits your personal needs and remains doable when the week gets messy.
Expect science-backed insights, guilt-free conversation and at least one practice you can apply to **Sleep Better Tonight**.
# **What We’ll Explore**
🛏️ Why modern lifestyles quietly damage sleep quality
🛏️ The 3 “fixes” that continue to make people tired
🛏️ A 5-minute exercise to reset focus and calm the mind
🛏️ The 6 ways to unwind for overactive minds
🛏️ Practical strategies for sustainable sleep habits

Practical Philosophy Meetup - Singapore 🇸🇬
🏛️ **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! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/).
**PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All.** ✨
Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in over 20 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Men's Group meetup
**The idea for this group is to build a community where men can gather together and build connections & learn and grow from each other.**
How we start each meeting is by each of us checking in with our "roses and thorns" aka what are the good things and the bad things going on in your life recently?
Then we will go into a topic discussion.
\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-
**COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS**
\*\*THERE WILL BE A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY FOR NO-SHOWS. IF YOU RSVP TO A MEETING AND FAIL TO SHOW UP WITHOUT NOTICE, YOU'LL BE REMOVED FROM THE GROUP. THIS IS TO PRESERVE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GROUP\*\*
1. Confidentiality - EVERYTHING that is shared NEVER leaves this space so that this space remains safe and sacred. There is a zero tolerance policy for this. If a man is in violation of this, they will be permanently removed from the group.
2. Non-Judgement - we respect and honor every man’s truth so that we may receive the same from others. While we may not agree on everything, we commit to respecting every man’s perspectives and engaging in honorable discussion with one another.
3. Be committed - honor your commitment to this group and to yourself. If you attend a meeting, please commit yourself fully to the meeting. Also be committed to your own journey. When we fail, we own it & clean it up.
4. Speak from the heart - this is NOT a space to “look good”, have the “right” answers, and have it all together. Relax and know you are not alone. Be exactly who you are within the safety of this space.
5. Be supportive - This means always willing to provide encouragement to your fellow men, encourage action and momentum in each other’s lives.. Be willing to challenge each other. Be willing to hold each other accountable.
6. Participation - what you receive from this community will be a reflection of what you put into it. Period. We ask that you share your perspectives, reflect on others, and give/receive support when and where it’s needed.
