The events held in this group are all about having fun nights of great people and 'deeper' discussions over dinner in a charming restaurant. This Meetup group was created by Glen Brauer as part of a non-profit global initiative using practical philosophy to bring togeth …

The purpose of our group is very simple: we discuss and analyze ideas. The word "analyze/analytical" is not a reference to syllogistic, analytical philosophy, but rather stands for those who like to analyze and critique ideas. Its a place for thinkers to connect with other thinkers! The format is also very simple: there is a brief 15 to 30 minute lecture (the shorter the better) followed by a civil conversation. We believe in organic group mingling. Not all thinkers are compatible, as thinkers …

Welcome to one of Seattle's newest esoteric meetups! This group is for anyone looking to learn more about the theory and practice of modern astrology. It's easy to read astrology columns in newspapers and magazines, and hear pop culture astrologers on television telling us "our future is in the stars", whatever that means... inquisitive minds know there is more to the field than that. Many people learn about astrology for many different reasons- for personal growth, after a strange encounter, …

This is a gathering of like-minded folks in the Seattle area who are passionate readers of the author and thinker C.S. Lewis. The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, the Chronicles of Narnia, Perelandra, the list goes on and on of works that have already become heritage classics in religious philosophy and Christian thought (not to mention a few that have been overlooked!). In a desire to explore his books and his world, Narnian or otherwise, we're attempting to focus on one book for each time …

Participate in a social experiment. Meet and socialize with other INTPs in the greater Seattle area. INTPs are usually loners, socially awkward, and miss out on the touchy-feely side of life. But is it because we are so introverted, or because no one else can relate to us? My thesis is that meeting and socializing with other INTPs over a few beers can help us all come to terms with what it means to be an INTP, and how it affects our interpersonal relationships with others. Are you ready to take …

Seattle-area ladies united in the bold pursuit of new friends, drinking, and irreverent fun-making. Lurk no more: if you were wondering where all the fun, creative, independent, literate ladies are, you found us. I started this meetup in part because I felt like so many of the other women-centric meetup groups tend to be a little heavy on the butterfly imagery or Sex and the City connotations.  Or focused around professional networking, babies, or exercise.  And those are all great things--espec …
