Socrates Cafe

PARK LOCATION: WE WILL BE SEATED EXACTLY TO THE LEFT OF THE PARLAMENT BUILDING ON THE GRASSY LAWN. Here you can see the exact spot on map: [Link to location](https://maps.app.goo.gl/KnWdQCe9W8ANupwt5) Do you have a hunger for a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you? Do you value deep, honest and respectful dialogue? If yes, then you will enjoy this event. 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 TOPICS ARE 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? EVERYONE AND ANYONE IS WELCOME 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. To learn more, visit https://socratescafe.com.

¿Cuál es la relación entre los filósofos y la ciudad de Barcelona? ¿Cómo pasaron por ella? ¿Qué reflexiones han surgido de su encuentro y cuáles siguen ocultas en los callejones de la ciudad? Como hacían los filósofos peripatéticos, la reflexión se desarrollará también en movimiento. En cada etapa, un filósofo y una idea permitirán que se desplieguen las ideas sobre la idea de ciudad. De hecho, el hilo conductor del recorrido es la propia idea de «ciudad». Será un pensar caminando, un cuestionar conociendo. El "Tour" es una experiencia colectiva de diálogo filosófico apta para tod@s, tanto para l@s que conocen bien la filosofía como para l@s que no la conocen en absoluto. Para todas las edades y perspectivas. El recorrido dura alrededor de 1 hora y 45 minutos. Al finalizar, podrás realizar un aporte libre, de acuerdo con lo que consideres que ha valido la experiencia. ¿Qué esperas para animarte a vivir esta nueva practica filosófica? CÓMO PARTICIPAR 1.

**L’Atelier des Non Chefs – Non Chef Edition** *LabCuina – Special Collection: “In the Kitchen With”* Obrador \| Saturday at 11h Plant\-based \| Organic \| Local \| Seasonal \| Zero Waste Menu of the day: fresh gazpacho to start, followed by breakfast tacos featuring chickpea omelet tortillas and bean salad. We will conclude with a dessert utilizing seasonal fruits. **The Spirit** L’Atelier des Non Chefs – Non Chef Edition is a **collective, joyful, and inclusive cooking experience** for people who love food without needing to be professional chefs. It celebrates: *Learning by doing - Sharing knowledge and cultures *Simplicity and creativity - Community over performance What are the primary goals of this brunch? This gathering **unserious brunch** centers on two main objectives: Plant-Based Integration: The aim is to make vegan options a natural part of daily life through recipes that are sustainable, whole-food-based, nutritious, and, most importantly, quick and easy to prepare. Community and Solidarity: Even more vital is fostering a sense of community. It serves as a sanctuary for activists and those fighting injustice to connect with like-minded individuals, share meaningful time, and find respite from the resistance encountered in their work. It is intended to be a safe, inclusive environment rooted in empathy and love. **How is the event structured?** The event begins with a brief welcome, after which participants are organized into teams for various tasks. This structure ensures efficient cooking while allowing everyone, regardless of skill level, to gain hands-on experience. True to the "unserious cooking" name, the environment is low-pressure and focused on collective learning. To ensure the experience is practical, we use simple, healthy ingredients to create a manageable three-course meal. Throughout the process, we maintain cleanliness to optimize our workflow. Once the meal is finished, we again divide into teams for an efficient cleanup. **What is the schedule and capacity?** Timing: The event is currently planned for a three-hour window, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. **Financial Contribution – “Participacion Consciente”** L’Atelier des Non Chefs works with a **conscious contribution model**: *The **price of ingredients** is communicated (which is an estimated 5-6€ for this specific menu) - Each participant contributes according to their means *Contributions help sustain the kitchen, materials, and collective activities This system keeps the atelier **accessible**, fair, and community-supported. **What is LabCuina?** **LabCuina** is a social kitchen project from 2013 that combines: - Plant Based and zero waste Food experimentation *Community learning - Cultural exchange It is a space where cooking becomes a tool for: *Social connection - Education *Ecological awareness - Collective creativity **What is a Social Canteen?** A **social canteen** is more than a place to eat. It is a space where food is used to: *Build community - Create inclusion *Share resources - Support accessibility Meals are affordable, participatory, and values-driven, focusing on care rather than profit. **Why We Are Doing This** We believe that cooking together can: *Strengthen social bonds - Empower people *Encourage sustainable food choices - Reconnect us with simple, shared rituals In a fast-paced world, L’Atelier des Non Chefs creates a **slow, human, and meaningful moment** around food. **Come as you are.** **Cook together.** **Eat together.** **Learn together.**

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia
