**NO PHILOSOPHY EXPERTISE REQUIRED!** **🏛️ 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/B7LyJIeBlaH5VtXkMJTTph?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: * 19:30-19:45 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start. * 19:45-19:55 - 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. * 19:55-21:15 - 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. * 21:15-21:30 - 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. * 21:30 - 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 is operated entirely on voluntary donations! If we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Donations are 100% voluntary, but they help us to bring the gift of deep conversation to people around the world. If you'd like to support, you can [donate here](https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-practical-philosophy)! (Practical Philosophy is a registered Canadian charity) **💛 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** * **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. * **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 often, 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/B7LyJIeBlaH5VtXkMJTTph?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/). 🤝**POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY CLUB - Philosophy, everywhere. ✨** We started in Practical Philosophy back in 2021 and there are now 50+ chapters in over 25 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ **\*\*\*** **Join our [Toronto Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B7LyJIeBlaH5VtXkMJTTph?mode=gi_t) 👈** **Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈** **Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈**

YOU MUST RSVP HERE! We have limited free tickets! Then prices go up! https://socialmixtureapril.eventbrite.com Looking for something different to do on a Saturday night in Toronto? Social Creatures is back with another Social Mixer at Crystal Thani on College Street on Saturday April 25. If you enjoy meeting new people, playing interactive social games, and stepping into something a little outside your usual routine, this night is designed for you. This is not a normal meetup where people are left to figure things out on their own. There is a host guiding the entire room, running structured activities, using materials, and shaping how people move and connect throughout the night. It removes the awkward guessing and creates a flow where meeting people feels natural. Whether you are more introverted, highly social, or somewhere in between, the environment is built to make connection easier. The activities are designed so conversations happen without forcing anything, and people end up meeting others they normally would not cross paths with. Toronto can often feel like people stay within their own circles. This mixer is about breaking that pattern. Most people arrive not knowing anyone in the room. As the night goes on, strangers become familiar faces and the energy of the space starts to shift into something more connected and alive. We are also introducing new activities and social challenges for this event, designed to get people moving, laughing, and interacting with different people throughout the night. It is encouraged to come on your own. People who arrive solo usually engage more fully, meet more people, and experience the event in a more open way. Social Creatures was recently featured in a BlogTO article, highlighting how these events are helping people in Toronto meet new friends and reconnect with the social side of the city. If you are open to new experiences, meeting interesting people, and being part of something positive in the city, you will feel at home here. Event Details Date: Saturday , April 25 Time: 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM Location: Crystal Thani Address: 571 College St, Toronto ⸻ Arrive Early Arriving early gives you the full experience. The first activities begin shortly after the event starts, and early arrival makes it easier to meet everyone and settle into the flow of the night. ⸻ What to Expect Engaging social games and guided group activities. New interactive challenges introduced for this event. A welcoming and energetic atmosphere inside Crystal Thani. Food and drinks available through the venue. Opportunities to meet new people and expand your social circle. Photos and videos may be taken during the event for Social Creatures content. ⸻ Who Should Come Anyone looking to meet new people and be part of a positive social experience. People new to the city or looking to expand their circle. The usual crowd ranges from 19 to 40, though all ages are welcome. This is not a dating event. The focus is social connection, respect, and openness to meeting everyone in the room. ⸻ Dress Code Come as you are. Casual, comfortable, and expressive. Everyone attending is expected to treat others respectfully and contribute to a welcoming environment. ⸻ About Social Creatures Social Creatures started with a simple idea. Toronto needed more spaces where people could gather, play games, and meet others without it feeling forced. What began as small gatherings between friends has grown into a community where people come together to socialize, try new activities, and create memorable moments in the city. ⸻ Venue Tips Support the venue by purchasing at least one drink or food item. Be mindful of others and help keep the environment positive for everyone. ⸻ Common Questions Can I come alone? Yes. Most people attend solo, and it is encouraged because it creates a more open and connected environment. Do I need experience with the games? No experience is needed. Everything is beginner friendly and guided by the host. Is this a dating event? No. The focus is social connection and meeting new people. What should I bring? Bring yourself and a positive mindset. You may also want money for food or drink. Can I leave early? Yes, though staying for the full event helps you experience everything. ⸻ Stay Connected Instagram: @SocialCreaturesEvents TikTok: @SocialCreaturesEvents Follow Social Creatures on Eventbrite for future events and updates. Your next Saturday night in Toronto can feel different. Come see what unfolds.

**Want to help bring your city’s community together?** We’re looking for local hosts to organize small group lunches, evening drinks, mixers, movie get-togethers and curated experiences. **No experience necessary,** just a friendly attitude, some local knowledge, and a willingness to meet a few new people. After each event, we’ll send a short feedback form so we can improve and support you. The host will also be able to provide feedback so we can learn what worked and what didn't. **[Click here](https://form.questionscout.com/6926c9ab87a828a5c11a79fc)** to apply and get started: if you’re selected, we’ll reach out for a quick screening call.

We’re bringing back Adult Field Day. Last year was a good mix of competition and just hanging out, so we’re doing it again with some new games mixed in. Think team-based challenges, simple races, and a few things inspired by game shows. You don’t need to be athletic. Most of the fun is just being part of a team and getting to know people you wouldn’t normally talk to. The goal isn’t really winning. It’s meeting people, laughing a bit, and leaving knowing a few more names than when you showed up. If you stick around after, we’ll have a potluck, a bonfire, and a couple comedians in the evening. Bring: * Something to share for the potluck * Clothes you can move around in A small contribution helps keep events sustainable and ensures those who RSVP actually show up. Include your Meetup name + event name in the note. Please send $2 per person to guarantee your spot. Venmo (preferred) or PayPal @WiseUnlimitedLLC Actual links in comments below! Include your Meetup name + event name in the note.
