Welcome to the Agora!
Agora is a Greek word meaning “gathering place,” and it was in the Agora that Socrates famously dialogued with the citizens of Athens. There, through shared inquiry, he and his companions explored questions that opened them to unexpected insights and revelations about reality. This event seeks to follow in that tradition through the practice of Dialectic into Dialogos.
Dialectic into Dialogos is a transformative group practice that weaves together philosophy, mindfulness, and deep listening. Rooted in the Socratic tradition, this process invites participants into a living dialogue, not aimed at debate or persuasion, but at mutual insight and the emergence of shared meaning.
If you’ve ever been in a conversation that took on a life of its own and left you changed in ways you couldn’t have predicted, you’ve had a taste of Dialogos. This event is about learning the practices and cultivating the skills that allow such moments to arise, opening the space for deep group flow states.
No background in philosophy is required to engage in this event. This isn’t philosophy in the modern academic sense of analyzing texts and arguments, but in the ancient sense of philia sophia—the love of wisdom. All that’s required is a commitment to cultivating wisdom and humility, along with a desire to find your world stretched beyond its current bounds.
