Do you ever find yourself questioning the right thing to do, in today’s complex world? Do you enjoy testing your views against others?

Join us for a twice monthly group discussion, a welcoming space for curious minds, designed for people who enjoy thoughtful, open and robust conversations. Together, we explore the everyday ethical dilemmas we all face, examining them from multiple angles, challenging assumptions and engaging respectfully with differing views.

Led by experienced ethics teacher and facilitator Robert Gerrish, each discussion encourages balanced, thoughtful conversation that opens up new perspectives and ways of thinking.
