Happy Father's Day to all the good dads, step-dads, paternal guardians & foster parents, etc. I'm currently in Denver this weekend, and yesterday, we stopped by Rocky Mountain National Park for a quick drive / visit, and it was so nostalgic to be out in nature again (after a 3 year absence). Another group member messaged me yesterday regarding 4th of July weekend, so I'm sorry I've procrastinated so long in posting something. - My apologies this is short notice... I'm planning on going to Glacier National Park in Montana between July 3 - 10. If I can get everything ready in time, I might go to a Canadian National Park called Waterton Lakes National Park around July 1 - 2. I'm perfectly fine with going solo...I need the peace and quiet after working with kids and volunteering with kids throughout the country. Plus, it's really short / late notice, so I don't anticipate anyone else joining for Glacier. [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/33118523](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/33118523) [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/33414566](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/33414566/) I'll have limited phone / internet / email access in early July, but I'll try to check occasionally, every few days or so. - So yeah, gas prices are high and inflation is daunting for many -- so my expectations are low...but if anyone has the time and desire, feel free to lmk if you want to join for Grand Teton and/or Yellowstone. Dates are flexible and open to your schedule...meaning, you're willing to arrive & leave whenever fits your schedule. I have a campsite reserved inside Grand Teton NP between July 13 - 16 and Yellowstone NP between July 17 - 22 [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32044981](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32044981) [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32048661](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32048661) [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32382009](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32382009) I also have a campsite for July 23 - 25, but I might need to fly to New York to volunteer for another children's camp at the end of July, so I'm tentatively thinking of staying until July 22, 23, or 24. Oh, and if anyone is interested and has time, I highly recommend checking out a Native American Pow Wow in Browning, Montana on either July 11 or 12. [https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32630790](https://www.meetup.com/la_camping/photos/32630790) Okay, that's it for now. I'll try to add more when I return from Denver. * Drive time is around 14 - 15 hours from OC - [https://goo.gl/maps/uBiaNxgRX4xkqhWf7](https://goo.gl/maps/uBiaNxgRX4xkqhWf7) LA - [https://goo.gl/maps/JdNPrrTGzD1DBEXE7](https://goo.gl/maps/JdNPrrTGzD1DBEXE7) Note: If checking the route now (before summer), the estimated time might be longer due to road closures due to winter...so change the departure date to the summer, and the estimate drive time should be shorter. *** *** *** ***

Los Angeles 🇺🇸 Practical Philosophy Meetup

Los Angeles 🇺🇸 Practical Philosophy Meetup

Tue, Jul 14, 2:00 AM
From Practical Philosophy Club 🇺🇸 Los Angeles
4.9

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://tally.so/r/EkNAll), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. If the group gets bigger than 10-15 people, we will consider breaking into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow and ensure everyone has a chance to participate. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy begins at 7:00p and follows this general timeline: * 7:00-7:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 7:15-7:25 - Explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, review the discussion guidelines so attendees know what to expect. * 7:25-8:45 - Main discussion on the selected topic - allow the conversation to evolve organically and/or use the ‘jump-off’ questions as prompts to guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 8:45-9:00 - Wrap up and closing thoughts. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 9:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! To support our venue, we ask that you buy a beverage/snack. Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though! **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * ​What will we talk about? What's the topic? ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/EkNAll). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://tally.so/r/EkNAll) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). **🤝POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All. ✨** Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in over 35 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ \*\*\* Join our [Whatsapp group](https://tally.so/r/EkNAll) 👈 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈 Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈
