This event is full. Here's the **[WAITLIST ](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/waitlistteipstpancras-space)**if you'd like to hear about spaces becoming available. Open minded discussions and the opportunity to learn from each other ❤️ This episode will explore the theme of "SPACE" with three original thought experiments written by special guest author, Hamza. They will be posted in the comments below on the day of the event. We'll meet at the beautiful Betjeman Arms in St Pancras Station. Spaces are limited and tickets sell out fast, so get your ticket early if you want to be there! See what these events are like: [@thoughtexperimentsinpublic](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpublic) **The idea:** A chance to meet and talk meaningfully about thought provoking topics. **How we'll do it** (timings approximate): * 7:00pm - Arrive at The Betjeman Arms. You can access the pub either from the street (entrance to the right of The St Pancras Hotel entrance) or via St Pancras Station (entrance from the upstairs train platforms). We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us. * Organise ourselves into small groups (3-4 people per group) * Have a look at the **thought experiments** (announced on the day of the event) * 7:15 - First rotation begins - Talk about the first thought experiment, but feel free to veer off topic. * 7:35 - Optional reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the second thought experiment. * 8:00 - Optional reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the third thought experiment. * 8:25pm - Wrap up - hear about upcoming events, feedback/requests for future meetups. * 8:30 Meetup ‘ends’. But feel free to carry on conversations. We have the room until 10pm and usually a lot of us stay until then :-) **Notes on the general atmosphere**: * The vibe is to let conversation flow rather than stick strictly to one topic. * While we'd like to talk about 'meaningful things', we also see the value in lighter topics, so don't worry about not being 'deep' enough! * Feel free to suggest ideas for future Thought Experiments in Pubs meetup groups, both in terms of structure and topics to discuss. **Where we'll meet**: This group will be at The Betjeman Arms. The nearest Tube station is King's Cross St. Pancras. You can access the pub either from the street (entrance to the right of The St Pancras Hotel entrance) or via St Pancras Station (entrance from the upstairs train platforms). We'll be in the private dining room - ask at the bar if you can't find us. **Who should come**: Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc.... I'm so looking forward to meeting & talking with you in this beautiful location.

REGISTER INTEREST: THOUGHT EXPERIMENT WRITING WORKSHOP: cultivate curiosity :-)

The first three TEiP Writing Workshops sold out and were a lot of fun 😊 I plan to keep running them every couple of months. **Future workshops will be announced here first:** **[TE WRITING WORKSHOP MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/thoughtexperimentwritingworkshop)** Looking forward to writing with you soon! Bonny

REGISTER INTEREST: ZINE MAKING with LESS STRESS PRESS: cultivate creativity

**Join our [MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/59860c6d0d), if you'd like to receive invitations to future events (some of which will be hosted off of meetup).** What is a Zine and why should I make one? Zines are handmade booklets. They can be used to share information, ideas, stories, art (etc.). Zine making creates opportunities to: * spend time exploring ideas * hone in on something you love or care about: a cause, a message, a skill, a place (the possibilities are endless) * get creative with collage, drawing, writing, printmaking (etc.) * produce compelling and unique booklets that you can print cheaply and share with friends and strangers offline After lots of creative brainstorming of their own, Bonny and Ellie have landed on zine making as the perfect way to both open up space for playful, low stakes creativity, and focus their minds on bite sized projects. **Join our [MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/59860c6d0d), if you'd like to receive invitations to future events (some of which will be hosted off of meetup).**

🎄Xmas Cards To Elderly in Care Homes

We will be writing Christmas cards with warm festive messages to elderly people in residential care homes. Many people in residential care do not receive regular visits and Christmas can be particularly isolating. This small act of kindness can help them to not feel as lonely during the Christmas period. Join us, and send some smiles across the miles to those who need them most. Stop by for all of it or even if just for an hour! I’ll provide the Xmas cards and all the writing material you will need to brighten someone’s day. All you need to bring is your wonderful self! If it’s your first time, don't worry, I’ll have guidelines and inspirational suggestions. \*\*\* POLITE REMINDERS\*\*\* * If you click to attend but then can’t come, PLEASE change your RSVP to say you are no longer attending. This will then allow your space to go to another volunteer who can come instead. * This is a safe and respectful gathering. So please remember to always act respectfully and to be mindful of each other's boundaries. \*\*\* HOW TO FIND US \*\*\* We will be in Paul’s, which is just opposite Earls Court tube station. Look for the table with lots of stationary on it!

Friendship Bracelets & Honest Conversations

**This is a women-only gathering.** **Please reserve your spot on our Luma event page [HERE](https://luma.com/qz3dznsh) ❤️** **Just clicking "Attend" on Meetup won't confirm your spot.** \-\-\- ✨ *Let’s talk about the parts of life that don’t make the highlight reel ✨* *We’re a space for women to connect and grow through conversation. We don’t shy away from the unfiltered stuff. Things beyond the picture-perfect. The ‘real life’ topics you’d only share with your close friends.* *It’s time we went behind the highlight.* **WHAT WILL HAPPEN? 🧐** This event will involve structured conversations, built to get past the surface. You'll go at whatever depth feels right for you. ​You'll start by making **friendship bracelets** while having **one-to-one conversations** 👥, move into **small groups** 🗣️ and close with a **writing moment** ✍🏼 that becomes part of our **Reflection Wall** 🎯, an anonymous collection of what the room doesn't usually get to say out loud. Each part is guided by thoughtfully designed prompts. No one is put on the spot. No forced vulnerability, just structure that makes it easier to go somewhere real. **THE THEME OF THIS SESSION 💭** ​***Friendship Bracelets & Honest Conversations*** The friendships we hold onto, the ones we miss and the ones we’re still building. All materials included for you to make your own bracelet. **JOIN US 🎟️** We’re managing all registrations through Luma ❤️ Please reserve your spot for this London event on our **[Luma event page](https://luma.com/qz3dznsh)**. *Arrive open.

You'll be guided the whole way through. **Is there a dress code, or anything I need to bring?** Come as you are. Nothing to bring, just yourself and an open, curious mind. ​**How much does this event cost?** Entry is £5 per ticket, paid on our Luma page. ​**What’s your refund policy?** Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds or ticket transfers.
