Conscious Gatherings
Hi, I’m Tom Thumb and I live in Prague.
I’d like to meet more interesting, thoughtful people who know how to express themselves and are open to get to know others in meaningful ways. If, like me, you don’t find the atmosphere of bars and cafes conducive to that, you can join our little ‘conscious gatherings’. They will be alcohol and drug- free and we won’t use phones while we’re there.
I’ve been thinking a lot about what the elements of a meaningful, authentic meeting are and I want to begin with some semi-regular conscious gatherings to make some community in Prague.
These are the elements that I think are essential:
- food should be involved in the form of a pot luck dinner where everyone brings something
- there will be some kind of activity (a documentary, singing together, a game, a performance) to give us organic topics for conversation
- alcohol and drug-free
- at least half the people should have been before and we’re talking about gatherings from 8 to 20 people according to the space
- a rough gender balance
- the gatherings can wander from house to house according to who wants to extend an invitation for the next one
So now you get the general idea – please write and tell me a bit about yourself – who you are, what you do, what you don’t and hopefully I can invite you to a gathering sometime soon :)
