Join exciting bonding adventures in London

London walking tour w/ wild swim, city skyline & plastic pollution cleanup

London walking tour w/ wild swim, city skyline & plastic pollution cleanup

Sat, Jun 13, 1:30 PM
From Earth Stewards Travel Club

Join fellow eco-conscious travellers for a walking tour that combines one of London's great walks with real environmental action. We'll climb to Parliament Hill to take in one of the city's six protected panoramic views, clean up woodland paths across the Heath, take a dip in Hampstead's legendary natural bathing pond and lounge on the bank of the ponds, and finish at the Brew House Café at the historic Kenwood House to chat with new friends. **The afternoon runs like this:** We meet at Hampstead Heath Overground at 14:30pm and walk up to Parliament Hill summit for the panoramic London skyline view. From there we do our first cleanup along the southern Heath paths and pond edges before heading to the Mixed Bathing Pond for a wild swim. After drying off we walk the woodland paths toward Kenwood, doing a second cleanup along the way, and finish at the Brew House Café in the Kenwood estate grounds around 17:15pm. Total distance: approximately 3km. Duration: 3 hours. **What to bring:** Swimwear and a towel, something warm for after the swim, a reusable water bottle, and weather-appropriate layers. Litter pickers, gloves and bags are provided. **Finding the group:** Meet outside Hampstead Heath Overground Station on South Hill Park at 14:30pm. Look for the Earth Stewards Travel Club sign. The station is on the London Overground. **Please note:** The swim is for confident swimmers only. The pond is a beautiful wild swimming spot surrounded by nature, but is unheated, deep, and dark so ensure you're confident with cold water swimming. Non-swimmers are very welcome and can enjoy the pond bank while others swim. A free non-swimmer ticket is available. The ticket price covers the cost of entry to Hampstead's Mixed Bathing Pond, that's all the charge is. The guided tour, cleanup equipment, and all other elements of the afternoon are completely free. We're trialling this as a new event format for Earth Stewards Travel Club and want to keep the barrier to joining as low as possible. If you'd like to support what we're building, the best thing you can do is come along, give it a go, and tell us honestly what you thought.

Practical Philosophy Club Meetup - London 🇬🇧

Practical Philosophy Club Meetup - London 🇬🇧

Sat, Jun 6, 1:00 PM
From Practical Philosophy Club - London UK 🇬🇧
4.8

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 14:00-14.15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 14:15-14:20 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 14:20-15:20 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 15:20-15:30 - We do a group conclusion of the things we discussed, and then we typically take a photo and go on our way :) If you don't want to be in the group photo, there's no pressure, it's just a way to close out the meeting. We occasionally have an unofficial social so the different groups can mingle afterwards too! **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend, and we operate on donations. If you'd like to donate to support our running costs, that helps keep our group self-sustaining. Donations are 100% voluntary, but your contribution is appreciated! QR codes to donate will be present. Tea’s and coffees and are paid by the individual should they wish to have them. **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * What will we talk about? What's the topic? The topic for the week is shared every week in the Whatsapp group before the session. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/practical-philosophy-locations/). 🤝**POLICY** To respect our members privacy, we ask that no one privately message a member without first getting explicit consent. (This looks like speaking in person and being asked to message privately.) Contacting or texting other participants without prior consent is not permitted and may result in removal from the group. Practical Philosophy reserves the right to enforce this policy at its discretion to maintain a safe and respectful environment. **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY - Making Philosophy Available To All.** ✨ Practical Philosophy hosts weekly, in-person meetups in 25+ countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ \*\*\* Join our [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/B6fqS6HGujq8gb3a0kl5pS) 👈 Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/?hl=en) 👈 Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club) 👈
