About this Event
What is this meetup? 🤔
Calgary: Philosophy for Everyone is a free, coffeehouse style meetup designed to help you practice thinking and talking about life’s big questions. without the academic jargon.
Do you miss having real conversations? We aren't here to lecture; we are here to explore perspectives.
No preparation or background is required. We focus on practical themes (e.g., Power, Justice, Discipline). You don't need to study. We provide "jump-off" questions at the event to get the thoughts flowing.
The Format & Rules ☕
We believe in structure so that everyone gets heard. We typically have ~5-6 people at each table, and limit capacity to keep it small.
- Moderated Tables: Every table has a dedicated moderator to read prompts, manage time ⏰, and keep the conversation moving.
- Turn-Taking: One person speaks at a time. No cross-talk 🤫.
- Respect: We focus on short, personal takes and stories. Dominating the conversation is discouraged to ensure everyone has space.
- Detours: Allowed only if everyone at the table agrees ↪️.
