Symposium: fellow drinker, from the Greek "sun-" meaning together and "potēs" meaning drinker. 

What is it? An opportunity to gather and discuss the world we live in with friends and strangers, to explore new ideas, and uncover our own biases.

How does it work? We'll democratically elect a topic and explore the idea. The format will vary with participation but essentially everyone will get a chance to speak on the topic and to ask further questions. 

What kind of topics? Anything and everything! Examples include, "What is a just war?" Or "Is art unique to the human animal?", or "What does it mean to have lived a good life?"

Conversations will be lightly moderated, but only to keep the tone one of congenial dialogue.
