Each week I facilitate 3 meetings of Socrates Cafe. For now, we are meeting online. They are free and open to everyone.
I organized and facilitated the first Socrates Cafe here in Denver over 20 years ago and I've been helping start new meetings ever since.
There are 3 Socrates Cafes I go to for my own benefit each week. I'm interested in them because 1) they are fun, and 2) they give me a chance to practice my critical thinking, my listening skills, and my ability to express myself.
Recent research shows Socrates Cafes are a good way for the generations to spend an hour together in a way that includes everyone, more and more nursing homes and rehab facilities are scheduling meetings for clients and encouraging clients to organize a session with family and friends.
If you'd like to know more about Socrates Cafes I suggest you attend one now while they are online. You might also find it helpful to read Chris Phillip's book "Socrates Cafe."

Remember Flash Mobs? I just had an idea. I'm going to try a Flash Mob Online Socrates Cafe. If you want an invitation whenever we decide to hold it call and tell me your phone number, I'm going to do a mass telephone call and post on Facebook and Twitter. Call me 24/7 on my hotline (303)861-1447
