New location! Meeting at Berkeley College, 3 E. 43 St. in room 402. We are moving the start up up a bit to avoid running up against the building close time (21:00) and potentially allow for more socializing. We are one of few Toastmasters clubs in NYC offering in-person meetings and we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity for in-person communication and networking. Interested in improving your public speaking skills? Want to meet new people and engage in interesting discussions? Hoping to make new business and life connections? If so we welcome you to attend the next Greenspeakers meeting. Greenspeakers is a Toastmasters club that was founded by Green Party members to provide a forum for engaged progressive activists and professionals to improve their public speaking skills. Guests of all political persuasions are welcome and we have no official connection to any political party. All attendees will have a chance to practice public speaking and will learn helpful tricks to become a more confident public speaker and communicator. Hope to see you there! Please note that our meetings require active listening and it's expected all in attendance will be respectful to each speaker by giving them your attention and refrain from making noise during speaking roles. Any who are disruptive or do not follow the behavioral guidelines of Toastmasters may be asked not to return.

Pigs!!! 🐷 Ross Mill Farm & Peddler’s Village

Sun, Aug 23, 3:00 PM
From The Active Culture (NY to Anywhere)
4.9

Please rsvp and if you haven' yet, join our brand new community where all the new trips will be announced first. [https://chat.whatsapp.com/E7N48SpiIUR11tIpZ5WtBx](https://chat.whatsapp.com/E7N48SpiIUR11tIpZ5WtBx) Do you love pigs?! Join us for a fun day trip to Bucks County, PA, where we'll start with a visit to Ross Mill Farm, a unique farm dedicated to the care, education, and understanding of pet pigs. The farm is also a foster home for the Pig Placement Network and currently cares for more than 100 pigs waiting for their forever homes. We'll spend about 1–2 hours at the farm getting up close with the pigs, learning about these surprisingly intelligent animals, and hearing some of their stories. Ross Mill has been working with pet pigs since 1990 and is nationally recognized for its expertise in their care and behavior. After the farm, we'll head to Peddler's Village, a charming collection of shops, restaurants, and winding walkways that feels like a little village straight out of a storybook. We'll have time to explore the shops, grab a drink, relax, and enjoy a meal together before heading back to NYC. We will meet in the city and travel together (transportation provided). The cost of the trip is $85 and it includes tickets for the experience. Please rsvp and if you haven' yet, join our brand new community where all the new trips will be announced first.

MANHATTAN, NY - Practical Philosophy Meetup - 🗽🇺🇸

MANHATTAN, NY - Practical Philosophy Meetup - 🗽🇺🇸

Sun, Aug 23, 10:00 PM
From Practical Philosophy Club - New York 🇺🇸
4.8

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://tally.so/r/rjLl1v), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 18:00-18:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start. * 18:15-18:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 18:25-19:30 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 19:30-19:45 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 19:45 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy is operated entirely on voluntary donations! If we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Donations are 100% voluntary, but they help us to bring the gift of deep conversation to people around the world. If you'd like to support, you can [donate here](https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/donation-form/donate-to-practical-philosophy)! (Practical Philosophy is a registered Canadian charity) **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** **🗣** “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?** No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what you think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it. * **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?** The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * **Is it mostly men that attend?** Surprisingly, no! Although often, philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * **Can I come alone?** Of course you can, we encourage it :) * **Can I be late?** Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * **Where do you meet?** The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/rjLl1v) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/). 🤝**POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY CLUB - Philosophy, everywhere. ✨** We started in Practical Philosophy back in 2021 and there are now 60+ chapters in 28+ countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ **\*\*\*** **Join our [New York Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/rjLl1v) 👈** **Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈** **Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈**

Pretty much. The diverse array of Meetup groups in NYC caters to a stunning range of interests, whether you're into arts, health and wellness, or cultural exchanges. There's something for everyone, no matter how niche your hobby.

While you can view event details without RSVP'ing, it’s often beneficial to RSVP. It helps organizers manage the event and keeps you informed of any changes or updates that may occur.

No, events are organized by independent groups or hosts within Meetup's platform. This means the quality and structure of events may vary based on the group’s organization and hosting style.

Meetup increases your chances of finding a compatible group, but it doesn't guarantee you'll meet friends immediately. Engaging actively and attending multiple gatherings improves the likelihood of forming connections.

Meetup is geared towards facilitating group interactions rather than direct 1-on-1 matchmaking. It excels in connecting individuals through common interests and community activities in larger settings.

The NYC Meetup groups offer exceptional diversity, ranging from casual hobbyist gatherings to intense professional workshops. This city’s vibrant atmosphere is reflected in the varied Meetup scene catering to different tastes and lifestyles.

While unlikely due to NYC’s vast offerings, some niche interests may not yet have groups. If you can't find your topic of interest, you might consider starting your own group and building a community around it.

Group quality can vary as different hosts manage them independently. Most active and popular groups tend to have higher event standards, so checking past events and participant reviews can guide you to the best options.
