Immersive Intellectual Experiences

Simply put: We design and facilitate safe, immersive, entertaining and intellectually stimulating experiences for groups large and small.

As our name and mission indicate, we offer these experiences everywhere - in classrooms of all classifications and varieties, and at private events, corporate events, and community engagements.

All Everywhere Philosophy programming is grounded in the rich suite of tools that philosophers rely upon: Deep concept analysis, logical argument evaluation, and thought experimentation. However, it’s also critical to us that our programming reveals the fun, pro-social and community building aspects of rich philosophical inquiry. Everywhere Philosophy’s programs are interactive, eclectic and always surprising, blending imaginative engagement and gaming with those long-established, structured thinking devices utilized perennially by thinkers in both the humanities and the sciences.

 

Community Conversations & Conflict Resolution

We encourage our participants to explore perceived boundaries around complex, often controversial concepts, topics, and issues through structured activities and guided conversation.

Discussions around topics such as race, gender, politics, and religion are never simple, and may evoke strong emotions, potentially stalling communication efforts and organizational development. We help manage and facilitate these conversations by fostering positive interactions. Our approach is to create safe, structured environments, where people feel comfortable sharing and evaluating their values, thoughts and opinions, prompting meaningful and potentially transformative engagement.

Contact us to discuss programming that will successfully deliver opportunities for more meaningful communication with your board, leadership team, staff and volunteers.

“During a year of endless Zoom calls and broken connections we joined Dr. Mike and Bethany for an Everywhere Philosophy session and it was engaging, fun, and interesting. This was a great chance to recapture a deeper conversation. I'd recommend Everywhere Philosophy to anyone, and especially groups that are digging for better ways to connect their people over long distances and long absences.”
