~ FUTURE THINKERS SESSIONS ~

Future Thinkers Sessions for the Zeitgeist Movement Australia

SCIENCE – TECHNOLOGY – NATURE – SUSTAINABILITY

This month we’re excited to announce Natalie Lawler, Mars One top-100 candidate will present to the group.

Natalie is a strong supporter of The Zeitgeist Movement and has a passion for moving humanity forward. An incredible woman with strong and profound values, themes for discussion may include the role of space travel in a long-term sustainable future, other elements of our lives that can influence that future and how the global community has responded to Natalie and the Mars One mega-project.

Future Thinkers is an open platform to meet and chat with other ‘self-proclaimed’ controversial deep thinkers, scientists and philosophers… basically anyone who likes to think about anything. This is a realistic, fun and empowering meet-up about applying science to social concern. Don’t worry, we don’t put you on the spot… there’s no expectation to explain your position, and no expectation of any qualification. It’s not in our ‘cynical yet idealistic, atheist, technocratic anarchistic activist’ nature. 😉 😛

We provide…

• Free vegan brain-food (otherwise known as snacks!)

• Short presentations on human behaviour, society, new crazy technologies  and cool ideas for hacking life!!

• Study groups and panel discussions on philosophical questions like “How do we engage people resistant to logic and reason?” or “Does wealth provide happiness?”

• Awesome socially-aware music, podcasts and radio shows

• Insightful and hilarious pointed videos for social concern

Please feel free to sit at the back and hide in the corner, or announce your opinion of some particular policy, or share your understanding of a scientific discovery or discuss your general thoughts on a particular topic. 😀 😉 We’d love that. We look forward to meeting you!

THEATRE Workshop & Social Night – Thursday nights with the Burrow Network!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately due to the relocation of The Burrow, we have had to move venues. We will now be at 3/84 Gladstone Rd, Highgate Hill. It has been difficult to find an alternative venue so we have only been able to put this information out today. We hope you can still make it!

Come together to hang out, chat, plan projects or events, meet interesting people, brainstorm together and empower each other.

Caution – very casual setting 🙂

Lafe Charlton has worked in and around the Brisbane Theatre scene for over 20 years and we are stoked to have him on board hosting our THEATRE workshop from about 7:30PM!

Come along if you are keen to develop some new skills through some fun activities like role plays, theatre exercises and maybe even a poetry recital. This is a fun way to increase your confidence when on stage and/or in the center of attention and a great way to develop your public speaking skills also!

See you there!
