Who we are...
We are people passionate about philosophy, critical thinking and engaging discussion. All of our dialogue facilitators have a background or training in philosophy at the college level.
|
What we do...
We provide course materials and facilitate philosophical discussions using the "Plain Vanilla" technique crafted from p4c Hawaii, yet we make it entirely our own. "Plain Vanilla" is a method of discussion guided by inquiry where every participant has a right to speak, a right to be heard, a right to invite and a right to pass. Totally inclusive by design, each class engages the participants and challenges them to think independently and collectively.
|
Where we teach...
We teach to communities that do not or cannot have access to the university: retirement communities, community centers, homeless shelters, prisons, children's centers, elementary, and middle schools.
