The conversation cards on the table weren't made up in one afternoon. They've been shaped over many gatherings, using the patterns and insights from earlier sessions, so the group can skip the weather talk and get to the good stuff sooner. You can browse the past archives to see what these evenings feel like.
The house rules, more or less
reflection > persuasion
curiosity > certainty
listening > reacting
depth > performance
We talk about life, emotions, purpose and connection. Politics and ideology stay at the door, and nobody is trying to win anyone over. If you're comfortable not knowing and letting an idea sit for a while, you'll fit right in. 🌱
How the session flows
Round 1: Conversation Cards. Pull up the prompts on your phone and go straight past small talk.
Round 2: The Collective Inquiry. If there's time, the floor opens up. Bring a question that's been on your mind, or we'll follow the group's energy. Together we choose one or more themes and explore them to understand, not to debate.
Closing: Distilling Wisdom. We look back at the insights and patterns that came up. Some sessions get summarized anonymously so everyone can learn from them.
Before you come
The questions run on a web page, so you'll need a smartphone. No phone? No problem. Just team up with someone who has one. Entry is free, and we'd appreciate it if you bought a drink or something from the menu to support the venue. ☕️
The new spot
We now meet at Starbucks, Hotel Resonance Taipei Shop, No. 7-1, Linsen S Rd, Xingfu Village, Zhongzheng District, Taipei City. Here's the Google Maps link.
Curious Souls Cafe exists to encourage healthy curiosity and real connection through conversation. We look forward to meeting you. 😊
