TEiP SUMMER CAMP • FREE RETREAT • THE HEATH | Thought Experiments in Public

About this event

A free day retreat under the trees of Hampstead Heath, co-produced by our community. WHY: Humans are naturally creative, naturally social, and naturally part of nature. Modern life squeezes our creativity, our time together, and our time outside. We want to make space (physically, temporally, economically) for people to come together, be creative, and connect with nature. How does this connect to THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS (TEiP)? TEiP has become a thriving community because our events create opportunities for people to get straight into meaningful, imaginative, creative conversations. We want to take that imagination and creativity to the next level. We've met so many people with skills and ideas to share, and so many people up for trying new things. So we're creating an opportunity for people to share and learn from one another in the same openminded, relaxed spirit as TEiP. And we're doing it outside because it's Summer, we love nature, and our last outside event attracted a huge number of RSVPs demonstrating major enthusiasm for outdoor gatherings. How will it work? • We'll gather in the forest of Hampstead Heath for a day. • There will be a central hub for 'hanging out (https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/hanging-out)', refreshments, and the occasional TEiP style round of conversation. • In nearby clearings and 'rooms of the forest', throughout the day, there will be optional activities hosted by community members (e.g. improv, forest bathing, poetry, yoga, etc.) • It will all be free! Please get in touch (https://www.alltogether.one/contact) if you'd like to run an activity 😊 And please come along if you'd like to hang out and possibly try something new ❤️ Notes on the general atmosphere: • The vibe is relaxed, collaborative, and friendly. • Participate in as much or as little as you wish. • We appreciate both depth and levity in our conversations. • A 'beginner's mind' takes the pressure off everything. Who should come: Everyone! This group is not about being experts. The more perspectives, the richer our conversations and the richer our collective creativity. By bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world together, we all become a little wiser. What to bring: • Something to sit on - picnic rug, camping chair, plastic bag (handy because it can double as a bin-bag at the end of the day) • Water • Other drinks/snacks for yourself (you can share if you want to, but there's no pressure) • Layers, sunglasses, sunblock, umbrella... it's London Where we'll meet: • Hampstead Heath. Exact location TBD. I will share a what3words link when we've found the perfect spot.
