The great philosopher Socrates took Philosophy out of the realms of the elite-few and into the streets where, by promoting a method of inquiry among individuals, he challenged them to examine their own beliefs. Thus ensued an unraveling process for the individual, away from the world of appearances, towards Truth. Inspired by Socrates and in celebration of World Philosophy Day, a bunch of us Lovers of Wisdom created Philo-café. We aspire to conduct a similar Socratic dialogue, to bring together …

It is a group that is inclusive of all genres of creative writing. It aims at reviving the old tradition of writers' cafes where writers meet, discuss all trends of writing and where some of the most brightest ideas can accidently spark the creation of great art and writing works. The cafe mostly addresses the local writers but does not mind the presence, support and applications for membership from other creative bodies from other parts of massachusetts, USA and other parts of the world.

Not many people share this interest, so I thought I'd reach out to see if anyone would like to join a book club to talk about the various great books we read. Ideally, we would also organize day trips to any of the many, many local sites in the area. This is open to anyone and everyone, so I hope you'll take part if this sounds like something you wo …

Woo abounds here in the Hudson Valley. Come escape to reality and drink skeptically with some like-minded folks. Haven't nailed down a venue yet, but hoping to make it a monthly thing, and if there is enough interest but everyone is spread out throughout the Valley I think having it "float" between towns might make it easier for all interested. Ideas for venues welcome!
