[11] ‘Informal Coffee and Philosophy Sessions’ for individuals, small groups of friends or larger groups in Athens; or ancient Delphi.
(Note: At these informal coffee and philosophy sessions we just meet and discuss Greek Philosophy or making important Life Choices without a particular subject or format in mind. The great thing about a small group of say 4 to 6 people (as most talks usually are) is that we can discuss the parts of philosophy that interest us most personally. When possible, the talks will be given in and around Athens and Delphi at interesting or inspiring locations.
