About us
Vancouver Curiosity Club is for people who want a social calendar with a brain.
Most months, this group has a mix of:
- philosophy and essay discussions
- podcast and YouTube discussion nights
- structured debates
- silent reading parties
- meditation and journaling circles
- gallery, museum, market, and city outings
- easy walks and mini-hikes
- Off-Radar Eats restaurant nights
The point is not networking. It is not small talk with name tags. It is a place to leave the house, meet thoughtful people, and do something more interesting than another default night out.
Some events are quiet and bookish. Some are argumentative. Some are just a good meal, a walk, or a cultural thing happening in the city. The common thread is curiosity, good taste, and people who actually want to be present.

🧘📓 Meditation + Journaling Circle
Vancouver Central Library, 350 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, CA🧘📓 We're meeting at Vancouver Central Library for contemplative meditation and journaling.
A thought can keep returning all week without becoming any clearer. What happens when you give it a quiet moment and a page instead of another distraction? Something that feels urgent in your head can look different when you have to put it into words. You might find a practical concern, an assumption you have been repeating, or a question that does not need an answer tonight. The point is to notice what is there without rushing to turn it into a task.
The plan
We'll begin with opening comments, then a short reading, quiet contemplative meditation, a pass-the-stick round with brief sharing, journaling, and discussion.This is contemplative meditation, not guided narration. One full two-hour session, not shorter drop-ins.
No previous meditation experience needed.- What changes when you notice a thought without immediately agreeing with it?
- How does writing to understand something differ from writing to find a solution?
- What might someone gain from leaving a question unanswered for an evening?
