Join us for a fun afternoon picnic this bank holiday - with tasty snacks and great conversations! 祝日ピクニック開催: おやつ片手に楽しく話しましょう! This will be a joint event with the Korean Culture Meetup. 今回は 韓国文化ミートアップ との合同イベントです。 🌳 **Where to Find Us - 集合場所** We’ll be gathering in our usual spot, under the Shakespeare Oak at Primrose Hill. いつもの場所、プリムローズ・ヒルにある「シェイクスピア・オーク」の木の下に集まります。 **What to Bring - 持ち物** To make this a fun communal vibe, we recommend bringing a snack or drink to share. みんなで楽しい時間を過ごせるように、シェアできるスナックや飲み物を持ってきていただけると嬉しいです。 While any food is welcome, it would be great to see some Korean or Japanese inspired treats! どんな食べ物でも大歓迎ですが、韓国や日本にちなんだお料理やお菓子があると、さらに嬉しいです! e.g. Onigiri, Kimbap, Mochi... 🍙🥢 例:おにぎり、キンパ、餅など… If you can bring a picnic blanket, or anything else that might be useful at a picnic, that would be really helpful. ピクニックシートや、ピクニックに役立ちそうなものを持ってきていただけると、とても助かります。 Unfortunately BBQs are not allowed in the park. 残念ながら、公園内ではバーベキューは禁止されています。 **Who Can Join? - 参加できる方** Everyone interested in Korean or Japanese culture is welcome - no need to speak either language. 韓国や日本の文化に興味がある方なら、どなたでも大歓迎です。 Our events have a friendly, inclusive atmosphere. 私たちのイベントは、フレンドリーで誰でも参加しやすい雰囲気です。 There's usually a mix of newcomers and regulars who will make you feel welcome. 初参加の方と常連の方がいつも一緒に参加しているので、初めての方も安心して楽しめます。 🌤 **Weather - 天気** Fingers crossed for good weather, but if it rains heavily we'll move to a pub nearby. I'll leave a comment here if we decide to move. 晴れることを願っていますが、もし雨が強く降った場合は、近くのパブへ移動します。場所を変更する場合は、こちらにコメントでお知らせします。 Let’s leave no litter behind, and create some great memories together! ゴミを残さず、みんなで素敵な思い出を作りましょう!

Fri, Sep 4, 5:30 PM
From THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS
4.8

Our BIG FREE Friday night episode of THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBLIC is back! We're returning to our OG pub, The Earl of Lonsdale once a month over the coming Autumn/Winter 🥰 Join us to imagine out loud with an openminded group of people from all walks of life. IMPORTANT: Meetup frequently glitches (and hikes organiser fees) so I've created a backup means of communication if we ever need to leave this platform. Please join! Comms will be minimal and you can unsubscribe at anytime: **[MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/36b38902fa)** For this September episode, we'll be exploring the theme of "CHANGE" with three original **thought experiments** (posted in the comments below on the day of the event) **The aim of this meetup:** meet new people and have different, thought provoking conversations. **How we'll do it** (timings approximate)**:** * **6:30** \- Arrive at the pub\, find us in the dining room * Organise ourselves into small groups (4-7ish...recent research finding: apparently 4 is the best number for a good conversation!) * Have a look at the thought experiments (posted in the comments on the day of the event) * **6:45** \- First rotation begins \- Talk about the first thought experiment\. If you don’t want to talk about that one\, move on to another one\. Feel free to veer off topic\. * **7:10** \- Optional shuffle: swap groups\, move on to the second thought experiment\. * **7:35** \- Optional shuffle: swap groups\, move on to the third thought experiment\. * **8:00** \- Votes \- optional moment to express your views on some of the questions of the evening\. * **8:05** \- Wrap up \- hear about upcoming events\. * Organised part of the meetup is over, feel free to carry on conversations (many of us stay until the pub closes!) **Notes on the general atmosphere:** * The vibe is to let conversation flow rather than stick strictly to one topic. * While we'd like to talk about 'meaningful things', we also see the value in lighter topics, so don't worry about not being 'deep' enough! * Feel free to suggest ideas for future episodes of Thought Experiments in Public\*, both in terms of structure and topics to discuss. **Where we'll meet:** This group will be at the Earl of Lonsdale Pub on Portobello. The nearest Tube station is Notting Hill Gate. **Who should come:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc. etc.... You can get a sense of what the events and community are like **[here](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpubs/)**. Looking forward to meeting & talking with you soon!

**Join our [MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/59860c6d0d), if you'd like to receive invitations to future events (some of which will be hosted off of meetup).** What is a Zine and why should I make one? Zines are handmade booklets. They can be used to share information, ideas, stories, art (etc.). Zine making creates opportunities to: * spend time exploring ideas * hone in on something you love or care about: a cause, a message, a skill, a place (the possibilities are endless) * get creative with collage, drawing, writing, printmaking (etc.) * produce compelling and unique booklets that you can print cheaply and share with friends and strangers offline After lots of creative brainstorming of their own, Bonny and Ellie have landed on zine making as the perfect way to both open up space for playful, low stakes creativity, and focus their minds on bite sized projects. **Join our [MAILING LIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/59860c6d0d), if you'd like to receive invitations to future events (some of which will be hosted off of meetup).**

THE COACHING CLUB September 2026

Tue, Sep 1, 6:00 PM
From BONNY'S OTHER GATHERINGS
4.9

A relaxed opportunity to both coach and be coached 😊 Bonny is collaborating with a range of coaches to bring coaching to **everyone**. Why? Full story [here](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/create-the-event-you-wish-existed). In brief: * Coaching can be life enhancing, inspiring, creative, and fun * Everyone can learn coaching skills * Having the experience of both coaching and being coached is doubly valuable * Peer-to-peer connections are special :-) **At THE COACHING CLUB, we will:** * Learn a new skill * See how it works in a short demo * Practice in pairs * Shuffle the pairs (several times) * Reflect together Bonny (and occasional co-hosts) will guide a process, but you will also receive a tiny booklet for illustration (a Zine by [LESS STRESS PRESS](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress)) 👀 **NOTES ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERE:** Although we’ll be learning new skills we'll also be aiming to have an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun. This will be less like school and more like a thoughtful and interactive evening in a pub. **WHO SHOULD COME:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the experience. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to create space for one another. **WHERE WE’LL MEET:** The Fitzroy Tavern, Charlotte Street, W1T 2LY. We will be upstairs in the "Private Dining Room". Please ask at the bar if you can't find us. **YOUR HOST:** **Bonny** has lots of experience in community building (e.g. [Thought Experiments in Pubs](https://www.meetup.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize)) and facilitating peer support spaces (e.g. Intentional Peer Support, Hearing Voices Network, Open Dialogue, Talk4Health). She is also training as a coach. She wants to bring her past experience and newfound skills together to create this new kind of event. In addition to The Coaching Club, Bonny is offering free and reduced cost sessions sessions while in training - [www.bonnyastor.com/coaching](https://www.bonnyastor.com/coaching) **MORE INFO & LINKS:** [SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/) \- newsletter and reflections [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/experimentsingroupwisdom) \- occasional visual updates on this event and others [WEBSITE](http://www.alltogether.one/) \- everything else [WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KWv2l3LvYn8BoEpYPD01hU?mode=gi_t) \- stay in the loop **#coaching #creativity #inclusivity #openmindedness #community #newskills**
