Events
The Deep Philosophy Group offers a variety of activities to the general public, among them:
ONLINE SESSIONS: We meet online (on Skype or Zoom) in small groups, usually for 3-6 meetings, once a week, about 90 minutes each meeting. One of our facilitators guides the group. Sessions can be fully contemplative or semi-contemplative (Reflecting in Togetherness).
RETREATS: Participants stay together in a retreat house for a long weekend of intense contemplative activity. Groups are of about 10-20 participants, and they are guided by our facilitators through a process of deepening philosophical contemplation.
