Einstein famously defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. On the other hand, studies have established that it takes 10,000 hours of diligent repetitious practice to achieve mastery of anything. Innovation can be perceived as the harnessing of both perspectives where the process of change and experimentation is followed by a long period of disciplined execution and good old-fashioned sweat. As we strive towards self-improvement of the mind, body and soul in our daily lives, how is this cycle connected to the betterment of the world around us?

This evening, we will explore innovation, change movements, experimentation, and self-betterment.

Sometimes it seems as though the universe conspires to bring together an infinite number of possible conditions into a single moment of impact. The world is full of unlikely but fruitful pairings that have endured the test of time: hydrogen and oxygen, peanut butter and jelly, Sonny and Cher. But what if the chain of crucial components just fell apart and it never happened? Parallel universes, forks in the road, decisions regretted, random sudden encounters – if we woke up just 10 minutes earlier THAT day, would life have turned out completely different?

This evening we’ll be exploring matters of the heart and unintended consequences. Who at dinner will become permanent in your life?

It seems like only yesterday that one could ask “What’s the difference between an investment banker and a pizza?,”* and every other article in popular press was an account of rising happiness levels as people were readjusting their lives to the appreciation of simple pleasures like staying in with friends and raising honey bees on their roof. We claimed as a society that this new perspective was permanent. Today, companies are posting record earnings and big corporate bonuses are back with a vengeance. What does this mean for our newfound collective sense of moderation?

This evening is about getting different perspectives on the idea of moderation, simplicity, and the enjoyment of small pleasures.

This evening is an exploration of fear, so looking for adverturers and experience seekers! From hypochondria to OCD to phobias for anything under and including the sun, fear is something that manifests from within. The whole genre of horror in film and literature revolves around the power of suspense and apprehension to plant seeds of anxiety in the deep recesses of the brain, and alarmist sensationalism is likewise designed to manipulate this dreaded anticipation of the unknown. What are your biggest fears, and how do you respond?

Some people react to change by throwing a temper tantrum. Others force themselves into willful ignorance, while some face the situation head-on and jump straight into action. And sometimes we’re locked into seemingly unalterable circumstances. Everyone deals with adversity and obstacles in different ways. How do you adapt to life’s shifting forces?

Tonight we explore themes of happiness, optimism and adaptability.
