Being and Becoming: A Community for the Curious is a Toronto based non-profit. We aim to create community around exploring everyday concepts and experiences so that we may live more intentional, thoughtful, and meaningful lives. We use philosophy as a tool with which we can come to a richer understanding of the world around us.By offering activities, spaces, and other opportunities for conversation and co-exploration, we hope to enable the meeting and fusion of individuals and their ideas. Everyone is welcome, regardless of background: indeed, we believe the journey is best undertaken alongside explorers from a variety of disciplines, cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.Do you find yourself drawn to the following questions?Who am I? How should I live? What is the nature of good and evil? What can I do to combat injustices? What is the nature of love, family, and friendship?At Being and Becoming, we believe that taking these questions seriously is key to our intellectual, psychological, and emotional well-being. We offer spaces to explore the big questions together in a spirit of collaboration and mutual inspiration.We view philosophy as one of the main tools for exploring these questions. However, far from confining ourselves to the world of academic philosophy, we aim for a diverse representation of disciplines among our leadership, our audience, and our guests, who include artists, teachers, writers, as well as philosophers. We aim to highlight and explore the work that is being done in academic and non-academic spaces to build stronger connections in the community.
