Plato Café: Creating Art on the Spot

You are invited to experience firsthand the power and wisdom of a group in this popular offering from Mindful Medicine. In the Plato Café there is no presentation from me. I merely begin with a question and then facilitate an organic process of discovery that naturally unfolds through dialogue. We can explore virtually any idea or question—what is a Symbol? Sacrifice? Security? Religion?

We build our discussion of the evening's question from our own real life experiences—no textbook definitions, hypotheticals, or long monologues. We play the question out like a jazz band. The sources of our music are our own experiences. The instruments of the band are our intuitive voices of dialogue. The band's prime goal is to create conversational art on the spot!

In the Café everyone’s views are recognized, valued and included. By the end of the Café we emerge with a broader vision of that evening’s subject, all learning from each other. In the process we create something brand new.

The Café is highly improvisational and intuitive. Regular participation will expand your mind, improve your ability to speak honestly & succinctly, and enhance your listening skills. Due to the nature of the dialogue, group size is limited to twelve.

Usually meets once a month on a Friday evening. To stay apprised of upcoming events get on the monthly email list!
