The Common Good Café is a conversational café where we practice the art of civil, civic conversation. We join together and listen to a presenter, followed by small group conversation, and a time of Q&A. The focus of the Common Good Café is to serve as a discussion place where we can advance our commitment to engaging the political, environmental, and cultural issues of our time. Each café ends with a call to ACTION. After all, there is no sense learning stuff if we don’t do anything with what we …

The Puget Sound Socialists is a District of the International Socialist Organization. The ISO is committed to building a left alternative to a world of racism, poverty, war, and environmental destruction. A socialist society where people come before profit—built from the bottom up through the struggles of ordinary people against exploitation, oppression, and injustice—is desperately needed. In the U.S., a tiny proportion of the population enjoys fantastic wealth, while millions of people live i …

I am a 30 something social worker who often finds that many of the people in my life don't really "get" what I do. I also work in a tiny little program, so don't have much chance to mingle with others in social service. My hope is that this group will be an opportunity to meet some like minded souls, support each other, and to have some fun too!

Who Is TCAD Seattle?  On May 23, Muhammad Yunus spoke at Seattle Town Hall and showed a trailer for a inspirational documentary he's in, called "To Catch A Dollar," due out in September. Several attendees talked with Yunus, Gayle Ferraro, the film maker, and Kathleen Wells, the project director from Grameen Research.  When we asked if we could help, they said yes.  This volunteer group was formed in the days that followed, with a short term objective of building support for promotion of the movi …

We are One Energy and realizing and focusing on this simple yet amazing reality is the pathway to inner and world peace. Let me explain. Life was born with a single cell that multiplied and evolved into the all life on earth. That means we are all inner connected with everything living on earth. Imagine that for a second. We are all inner-connected with all other life that has ever been, and will ever be. If you believe in that simple concept then that is blue print and pathway for love and peac …

The format of GMOT is that a group comes together, has a short round of introductions, then a presenter offers several different viewpoints on a great question of theological/philosophical/ethical substance (for 10-15 minutes), and then we open it up for lively discussion. Participants tend to vary widely in their religious affiliations (and non-affiliations) and the only ground rule of the group is "deep listening" which means we should voice our authentic opinions, but not try to cram them dow …

The purpose of our group is very simple: we discuss and analyze ideas. The word "analyze/analytical" is not a reference to syllogistic, analytical philosophy, but rather stands for those who like to analyze and critique ideas. Its a place for thinkers to connect with other thinkers! The format is also very simple: there is a brief 15 to 30 minute lecture (the shorter the better) followed by a civil conversation. We believe in organic group mingling. Not all thinkers are compatible, as thinkers …
