Philosophy and wine: Build A Reality Game Night

Theme: Epistemology – The Pursuit of Knowledge

Read of the Month: First Meditations by René Descartes

Main Activity: Build-a-Reality Workshop

Join us for the fourth Cosmic Kinship book club meetup as we explore epistemology;the study of knowledge, belief, and doubt, through René Descartes’ First Meditations. In this short but mind-bending text, Descartes questions everything he’s ever known, dismantling his worldview in search of a single, indubitable truth.

This month, we ask:

🔹 What do we really know for certain?

🔹 Can we trust our senses, our memories, or even reason itself?

🔹 And if we were to start from scratch, what kind of reality would we create?

Expect a night of good wine, curious minds, and radical questioning.

Main Activity: Build-a-Reality Workshop

Starting with Descartes’ foundational truth, “I think, therefore I am” you and your group will attempt to rebuild reality from the ground up. What counts as knowledge? What gets left behind? What truths do you still trust?

Creative, chaotic, and deeply philosophical; this activity invites you to experience the fragility (and possibility) of everything we take for granted.
