Together we’ll craft shared definitions for the concepts we’re exploring, weaving our multiplicity of perspectives into a foundation for critical discussion about what makes us human, and when technology acts in service or in foil to that humanness.

This discussion is for people of all backgrounds. We especially encourage people who might not typically engage in group discussions to offer their perspectives, and will take care to create a safe and relaxed environment for all.

Our discussion will take multiple formats, including self-reflection, one-on-one conversation, and full group exchange.

Drinks will be available by donation.
