The Round- A Modern Salon: A Room for Thought

THE ROUND — A Modern Salon: A Room for ThoughtAn intellectual gathering by The Shirlette CollectiveThe Round is a no-phones, inquiry-driven conversation space for thinkers, creatives, and lifelong learners who want to stretch their minds without performance or pressure. It’s not a panel or debate, just a circle, a single guiding idea, and the freedom to explore it together.Each 90-minute session follows a structured rhythm: quiet entry, an opening note from facilitator Shirlette Robinson, a short warm-up writing moment, open reflection, deeper guided questioning, and a final one-sentence contribution from every participant.This space welcomes anyone craving meaningful dialogue, intellectual play, and a community that values clarity and curiosity. Select insights may appear in The Round Journal, a zine for public and school libraries. Attendees choose whether to be credited by name or Page Number.Come ready to think out loud, listen deeply, and leave sharper than you arrived.
