Welcome to the Philosophers' Café

Come early for a seat on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month. Comfortable surroundings for vibrant street level discussions on issues fundamental to human existence. No formal philosophy training required; real life experience desired. The Philosophers' Café in Victoria is moderated by Daniel Keeran dedicated to supporting the diversity of views through the use of reflective listening. He comes with many years of experience in leading group discussion. (The custom is a $5 suggested donation, and we will pass the can.) To be a Moderator, please see the Contact Us page.)

Philosophers' Café is a series of gatherings featuring street level public conversation responding to the needs of a society under stress from unrelenting rapid change. Our singular focus has been the lifelong passion for the continuing search for meaning. We have facilitated a series of voluntary communities wherein participants learn for the sake of learning, where ideas are championed and camaraderie is subtly extolled.
