When people first find out about the weekly Beings Club Salon Meetings, they’ll often ask: ‘Are there any topics to discuss?’, ‘Do you know what you’ll talk about?’ or ‘Is there a weekly theme?’
The answer to all of these questions is No.
It does, on the surface, make sense to ask these questions. It’s quite natural to want to know what to expect. Especially if you’re paying money for something, you want to know if it is going to be worth it.
However, I think if you look more deeply, you’ll find that the decision to offer little more than ‘stay curious’ as a general prompt for conversation, is well thought through and allows for interesting possibilities.
In the end, this intentional choice was made for three main reasons:
To Attract the Genuinely Curious
By not offering any guidance beyond ‘stay curious’, Beings Club naturally attracts a certain type of person - one who is genuinely curious and open to the organic flow of discussion. This creates the ideal conditions for interesting things to emerge, because participants already come with an intrinsic willingness to engage thoughtfully - and with curiosity.
There is Power in Spontaneity
There’s an immediacy and rawness to the conversations that happen at Beings Club. With no prompt or theme to hide behind, each exchange is more authentic. There’s a spontaneity that allows for unexpected moments of insight and connection, which is where the magic really happens.
For the Freedom to Explore
The absence of set topics or themes invites freedom - freedom to wander, explore, and discover new perspectives and ideas. Without the constraints of a predefined structure, conversations can go places you might never anticipate, allowing for truly unique and surprising outcomes.
"The amount of random conversations that lead to culture-shifting ideas is insane." - Virgil Abloh
In the empty space where a prompt, theme, or topic might have existed, there exists instead a place to collaborate and play in conversation. With the curious gathered, the present a shared opportunity, and an open field to explore, conversations are primed for interestingness.
With conversations happening weekly and the opportunity to be in conversation with the same curious individuals again week-to-week, it’s a community like no other.
In general, collaboration happens as relationships develop.
