Hi All, Since I could not locate any book clubs in the south eastern area around Narre Warren, I thought I should set one up. I am not too fussed about the exact suburb. There will hopefully be sufficient people who want to catch up on anything reading.

The Existentialist Society is for those who question whether life has a meaning and a purpose. And for those who despairingly ponder whether one can live without self-deception or without hedonistic escapism. Yet who, despite the anguish of life's futility and meaninglessness, still seek purpose and an authentic existence. The Existentialist Society is for those who are fascinated by the ideas of Simone de Beauvoir, Nicholas Berdyaev, Martin Buber, Rudolph Bultmann, Albert Camus, Fyodor Dostoye …

Welcome to the first group in Australia intended to improve critical thinking through the use of the Trivium method. The trivium is not widely known and is taught only in a small group of elite educational establishments. I believe that improveing my critical thinking skills is key to my future success and hope that by setting up this club my skills and the skills of the group will significantly improve. The meeting will be informal (no presentations) and are intended as an opportunity to shar …

The idea of the group is to open up people to new stuff ... A few friends are doing something like this as a business and it was great going to their workshops and be introduced to new things. Some of them I've ended up doing as a hobby nowadays, some transformed in social initiatives, others were just nice to hear of. Since I've moved countries a while ago, I quite miss this and hopefully this group can fill that gap. So, here's how it works. Every meetup would have up to 15 spots and won't ta …

The events held in this group are all about having fun nights of great people and 'deeper' discussions over dinner in a charming restaurant. This Meetup group was created by Glen Brauer as part of a non-profit global initiative using practical philosophy to bring togeth …

A group purposely created for those who identify as Myers-Briggs INFJ. Considering how unique and rare we are, I thought it was not only necessary, but vital for me to create a place where we can feel a little less alone :) I know the world can be a tough place, so if you're in need of an escape and some understanding, you're welcome here! "INFJs are among the rarest of the sixteen personality types, constituting only 1-3% of the general population. Unlike INTJs, in which males predominate, ther …

If you are interested in reading, are single and would like to meet new interesting people who are just like you, then this is for you!!! This meeting up group stems from the fact that there are many meetup groups for book discussions and many more for singles, but not any for singles with an interest or passion in reading and books. I believe that reading offers an insight that cannot be gained just through our first-hand experiences in life. It inevitably provides us new perspectives on the wo …

We seek brain-aching, adrenalin-rushing, higher-level, small-group discussion on society, psychology, philosophy, arts and culture (but not new-age spiritualism). We seek fascinating pieces of writing (with content accessible to the educated lay reader) to share and discuss. You might want to share a piece you're writing for publication, something new you've found in a journal or on the web, or something old but brilliant. Or whatever takes your fancy. A facilitator posts details of the piece fo …
