About Us
Our mission for 37 years has been to make philosophy relevant, accessible, and engaging for everyone eager to think deeply and connect meaningfully. We welcome open-minded thinkers from all walks of life and provide a unique forum for thoughtful, considerate discussions about topics that matter. With member-led discussion groups and thought-leader lectures, we balance interactive conversations with insightful learning experiences.
Thought Leader Lecture Series
Our lecture series features philosophers from Northern California universities and colleges sharing their passion for scholarship in an accessible, engaging manner. These events connect us with some of the brightest minds in philosophy today, offering insights into profound ideas that are shaping the intellectual landscape and challenging us to think deeply.
Member Led Discussion Groups
The heart and soul of our society lies in member-led discussion groups. These gatherings feature brief, thoughtful presentations on significant topics, sparking open-minded and engaging conversations. It’s an opportunity to explore new ideas, connect with friends, and enjoy the company of a supportive, respectful philosophical community.
