Practical Philosophy Meetup - Toronto 🇨🇦

Practical Philosophy Meetup - Toronto 🇨🇦

Thu, Aug 20, 11:30 PM
From Practical Philosophy Club - Ontario 🇨🇦
4.8

**NO PHILOSOPHY EXPERTISE REQUIRED!** **🏛️ 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://chat.whatsapp.com/B7LyJIeBlaH5VtXkMJTTph?mode=gi_t), 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: * 19:30-19:45 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start. * 19:45-19:55 - 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. * 19:55-21:15 - 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. * 21:15-21:30 - 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. * 21:30 - 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 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** * **​What will we talk about? What's the topic?** ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B7LyJIeBlaH5VtXkMJTTph?mode=gi_t). * **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://chat.whatsapp.com/B7LyJIeBlaH5VtXkMJTTph?mode=gi_t) 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/practical-philosophy-locations/). 🤝**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 50+ chapters in over 25 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ **\*\*\*** **Join our Toronto [Whatsapp Group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B7LyJIeBlaH5VtXkMJTTph?mode=gi_t) 👈** **Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈** **Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈**

# 🌿🚶 Mount Pleasant Cemetery Summer Evening Walk ### Toronto's Most Peaceful Summer Stroll Join me for a relaxing **90-minute evening walk** through one of Toronto's most beautiful hidden gems — **Mount Pleasant Cemetery**. This isn't just a cemetery — it's a living museum, arboretum, and one of the city's most peaceful green spaces, with winding paths, majestic trees, historic monuments, and beautiful gardens. As the summer evening light filters through the canopy, it's easy to forget you're in the middle of Toronto. It's the perfect place to slow down, enjoy great conversation, and connect with friendly people while escaping the noise of the city. 🌿 *Sometimes the best way to end the day is with a walk.* 📲 **Join Our WhatsApp Group:**[ Click here to join](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DRFTkxRlHS4B3IL1lMleUd) ## 💫 Did You Know? When Mount Pleasant first opened in **1876**, it was one of Toronto's favourite Victorian destinations. Families would dress up, ride the streetcar, and spend the afternoon strolling the grounds before heading back downtown. Long before city parks became popular, this was one of Toronto's most beloved places to walk. *** ## 🕕 Meetup Details **Meetup Time:** **6:00 pm** *(I'll wait 5 minutes.)* **Meetup Spot:** Inside the main gates of Mount Pleasant Cemetery at the **Yonge Street entrance** (the large stone archway). 👀 **Look for me:** I'll be wearing my famous **Moose Hat** 🦌 **End Spot:** Right back where we started. *** ## 🍽️ Dinner After After the walk, anyone who's interested is welcome to join us for dinner at Swiss Chalet. It's a great opportunity to continue the conversations and get to know one another. *** ## 💲 Meetup Fee **$5** (cash 💵 or e-transfer 📲 to **[mathewmaclean@hotmail.com](mailto:mathewmaclean@hotmail.com)**) You can send it before or on the day of the walk. *** ## 🎒 What to Bring • Comfortable walking shoes • Water 💧 • Sunscreen if needed ☀️ • Bug spray (optional) *** ## ☀️ Weather This walk will take place rain or shine, except in cases of severe weather or thunderstorms. Please check Meetup before leaving in case of weather updates. *** ## 💬 Final Notes • You can just show up — no need to commit early. • Please keep an eye on Meetup for any updates. Get updates, chat with other walkers, and stay in the loop for future events. ✨ End your day surrounded by beautiful gardens, towering trees, fascinating history, and great company. It's one of Toronto's most peaceful places—and one of the city's best-kept secrets. **Organizer:** Mathew 📩 [torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com](mailto:torontomoviesandoutings@hotmail.com) **Trade traffic for tree-lined paths, fresh air, and good conversation. Your evening will thank you.** 🌿
