This Month's Topic: Hygge
This month for philosophy night folks are invited over to the Peterson's for a cozy holiday gathering and hygge night.
Hygge is a Scandinavian concept that emphasizes fostering coziness and contentment by enjoying life's simple pleasures and spending time with people you care about. We'll make cookies, enjoy hot drinks, play games, work on a puzzle, share stories, sit by the fire, and maybe share in a holiday song or two.
There will be a shared hygge conversation at 7 pm if folks want to join online at that time.
Youre invited to bring a potluck item to share if you're able.

What is Philosophy Night?:
Middle Circle's monthly philosophy night creates a place for friends or strangers to dig into the topics that mean the most in our lives. Each gathering is hosted and facilitated by Middle Circle community members and centers on an age-old philosophical question. There is always food, beer & wine, and non-alcoholic beverages available.

You can donate at the event, right now through Venmo (@middlecircle), through PayPal's Charitable Giving Portal, through your works giving program, or while signing-up below. Donations are tax deductible. Donating is important to Middle Circle's vitality however no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
What If I Haven't Studied Philosophy?: You don't need to be well versed in philosophy to participate. Philosophy literally means love of wisdom. All that's needed is an interest in having a great conversation about a meaningful topic with good company.
