SOLD OUT TEiP X MOONSTRUCK • PHILOSOPHY & COFFEE | Thought Experiments in Public

Join the waitlist: [WAITLIST](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/c3da7dc882) We're heading to one of the top 10 cafes in London for a special event about the PHILOSOPHY OF COFFEE ☕️ In July, I met up with a TEiP community member, Lionel Crasto (who also happens to be an award winning barista and coffee ambassador) to talk about philosophy and coffee. He said to me that *"when it comes to the philosophy of coffee, it just depends how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go".*.. we went deep! Together we're bringing you three thought experiments paired with coffee tasting (decaf options available). The event will be at Moonstruck Cafe, one of the top 10 coffee shops in London (Best Coffee Guide) and top 20 in the whole of Europe! What better place to explore the philosophy (and taste) of coffee? **Spaces are very limited, so get your ticket early if you want to be there 😊** MORE INFO **The idea:** A chance to meet and talk meaningfully about thought provoking topics. **How we'll do it** (timings approximate): * 6:30pm - Arrive at Moonstruck. * Organise ourselves into small groups (3-4) * Have a look at the **thought experiments** (announced on the day of the event) * 6:45 - First rotation begins - Talk about the first thought experiment, but feel free to pursue tangents and anecdotes. * 7:05 - Reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the second thought experiment. * 7:30 - Reshuffle: swap groups, move on to the third thought experiment. * 7:55 - Wrap up - hear about upcoming events, feedback/requests for future meetups. * 8:00 Meetup ‘ends’. But conversations continue. **Notes on the general atmosphere**: * The vibe is to let conversation flow rather than stick strictly to one topic. * While we'd like to talk about 'meaningful things', we also see the value in lighter topics, so don't worry about not being 'deep' enough! * Feel free to suggest ideas for future Thought Experiments in Pubs meetup groups, both in terms of structure and topics to discuss. **Where we'll meet**: This group will be at Moonstruck Cafe. The address is: 153 South Lambeth Road, London SW8 1XN. The closest tube station is Nine Elms. **Who should come**: Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc.... I'm so looking forward to meeting & talking with you in this beautiful location :-) Newsletter - [Hear about upcoming events first](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/) 💌 Instagram -[Scrapbook and thought provoking stuff](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpubs) ❤️ Whatsapp - [Occasional announcements](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DapwAXpnOHO5DRYThobpe4) Thank you!

THE ART OF ATTRACTION: A Singles Gallery Experience at the V&A

## ***🚨 Important: Meetup RSVP is not a valid ticket. All attendees must purchase a ticket via our [TICKET LINK!](https://fatso.ma/f2b2j)*** **Looking for a more meaningful way to meet new people?** Join us for a unique singles experience where art becomes the conversation starter and connections are discovered through shared perspectives, engaging discussions, and mutual attraction. **Welcome & Registration** We begin at the V&A Café with coffee, introductions, and registration on the C&C app. This relaxed start gives everyone the opportunity to settle in, meet fellow participants, and prepare for the experience ahead. Guests will then be divided into small groups of 5–6 people and set off to explore the museum. **The Gallery Challenge** As you explore the V&A, your mission is to find and photograph an artwork or object that represents: ❤️ **Love** ✨ **Your Ideal Life** 🎭 **Your Personality** The challenge encourages meaningful conversations and offers a unique insight into how others see themselves, their aspirations, and what matters most to them. Every 20 minutes, groups will rotate, giving you the opportunity to meet and connect with different people throughout the experience. **Coffee, Conversations & Connections** After the gallery challenge, we'll return to the V&A Café. Each participant will select one favourite photo from the challenge and have up to one minute to explain why they chose it and how it relates to the chosen category. We'll also discover whether anyone selected the same artwork for the same challenge category, creating fun and unexpected connections. These short presentations often reveal far more than a traditional introduction ever could and provide excellent conversation starters for the rest of the event. **The Match Experience** After getting to know one another through the gallery challenge and discussions, guests can privately indicate through the C&C app who they would like to see again. If two people select each other, it's a match. Mutual matches will be revealed instantly through the app as soon as both parties have selected one another. **No awkward speed dating.** **No forced pairings.** **No pressure.** **Just genuine conversations and meaningful connections.** **Schedule** **11:00 AM** – Meet at the V&A Café **11:15 AM** – Welcome, Coffee & App Registration **11:30 AM** – Gallery Challenge Begins **11:50 AM** – First Group Rotation **12:10 PM** – Second Group Rotation **12:30 PM** – Return to Café **12:40 PM** – Favourite Photo Presentations **1:10 PM** – C&C Matching Opens **1:20 PM** – Coffee, Conversations & New Connections **2:00 PM** – Event Ends **Who knows?
