Gatherings in Rotterdam
Philosophical conversations
Every two weeks, a small group of us meets in Rotterdam to spend two hours on a single question. You don't need to know anything or prepare. Feeling like thinking along is enough.
"I don't believe thinking is something you do alone."

How an evening goes
We start with a question. Sometimes someone brings one, often it just comes up on the spot. It can be a big question, or something that's been on your mind this week.
We unpack it together. We take the answers that come up seriously. We unfold them further, until you can see what's in them. It's about understanding each other. Being right doesn't matter.
Someone keeps an eye on things. We're a small group, so everyone gets a chance to speak. A facilitator watches the pace and keeps the conversation on the question. You join in your own way, and listening is part of it too.
Questions
Do I need to know about philosophy?
Not at all. We work with examples from your own life. No books or famous philosophers required.
Can I come on my own?
Of course, nobody knows each other beforehand. And bringing someone along is lovely too! Just ask them to sign up themselves, so we can save them a spot.
Do I have to come every time?
No, you sign up per evening. So you choose which ones you join.
What if an evening is full?
Then you go on the waiting list. If a spot opens up, you'll hear right away.
I can't make it after all. What now?
No problem. Just send a quick email to anderevragen@proton.me, so someone on the waiting list can take your spot.
