Socrates thought that understanding the perspectives of others made him a more excellent human being. In this spirit, the purpose of the Socrates Café is not to persuade others to our point of view, but to deepen our understanding of the views of everyone who participates. Please join us at 7:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month for the next Socrates Café and another ninety minutes of philosophical exploration.

Eastern Ohio Freethinkers We have formed this group as a result of several years of monthly traveling to Akron, Cleveland and Mansfield to meet with fellow freethinkers and humanists.

We know that even in todays internet society there is a huge need for friendships and casual conversations face to face. Since the t …

Past topics include: What is the proper role of religion in society?, What is the secret to happiness?, an …

Do you believe in God and the superiority of reason? Do you value the 'Christian message', but think that the Bible should be examined critically using all available knowledge? Is the whole Creation your textbook? Have you matured beyond the dogma and teaching of Evangelical/Fundamentalist Christianity, but still you are not willing to accept the full-blown 'tolerance doctrine' of Progressive Christianity or Unitarian Universalism? Is sharing your religious, spiritual and philosophic ideas, face …

Fight club's pursuit is the knowledge you need to be reasonably successful in personal relationships and in your career; and the capacity to experience joy whether or not you are successful at any point in your life. It's learning how to assert yourself in the pursuit of personal needs, overcoming unhealthy dependency and becoming self-sufficient and capable. Each Meetup has a topic, typically a specific point of view. The goal is to look at a topic from a compelling angle. One, difficult not to …

I recently had a chance to experience sessions of group therapy and found it to be amazingly beneficial for myself and those that attended with me. I think that even without assistance and input from a Therapist directing, just being able to have a "safe-zone" to "LET IT ALL OUT!" has healing power.
