What we’re about
Join us if you're interested in philosophy, literature, film, and socializing. This group will be for people who want to talk about books and movies that explore life's big questions. We won't presuppose any definite answers. It's more about the journey than the destination.
We will have regular meetups with different formats. Once a month we will meet to discuss a book or selection from a book. Readings will vary widely, ranging from ancient philosophy and literature to contemporary fiction and nonfiction. Each month, we will also have social gatherings, film outings, and open discussion meetups.

Let's talk about death.
Join us for a loosely structured open discussion where we talk about our understanding, thoughts, fears, and experiences, among other things, in regard to death and dying.
We will be pulling questions to discuss from The Coffin Cards. The Coffin Cards is a collection of questions with the intention to reflect upon and explore our mortality and navigate grief.
Questions from The Coffin Cards include: "How can we make our society more supportive around death and grief?", "What role has art and creativity played in your grieving process?", and "What would happen if you died tomorrow?"
This continuing event is inspired by Swiss sociologist and anthropologist Bernard Crettaz’s cafe mortel and the broader global Death Cafe movement.
