OCTOBER TEiP DAY RETREAT • FREE • EPPING FOREST | Thought Experiments in Public

OCTOBER TEiP DAY RETREAT • FREE • EPPING FOREST | Thought Experiments in Public

Sun, Oct 11, 10:00 AM
From THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBLIC (TEiP)
4.8

**A free day retreat under the trees, co-produced by our community.** For all the up to date info and exact location, here's our **[DIGITAL ZINE](https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/teipdayretreat-october2026)** We held the first TEiP Day Retreat in August and it was a great success! So we're tempting fate and doing it again in October. This is a fair-weather event. If it rains, we will cancel the retreat and hang out at the Southbank instead. This time, we have an even bigger line up of activities, so please join us in praying for dry weather! **How does a outdoor day retreat connect to TEiP (THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBLIC)?** TEiP has become a thriving community because our events create opportunities for people to get straight into meaningful, imaginative, creative conversations. The Day Retreats are opportunities to take that imagination and creativity and sense of community to the next level. They are an opportunity for people to share and learn from one another in the same openminded, relaxed spirit as TEiP. It's outside because we love nature and our last outside event attracted a huge number of RSVPs demonstrating major enthusiasm for outdoor gatherings. Of course, October weather is unpredictable. If it rains heavily, we will cancel the retreat and instead arrange an informal hang out at the Southbank. **How will it work?** * We'll gather in one of London's pockets of forest (Epping Forest) for a day. * There will be a central hub for '[hanging out](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/hanging-out)' and the occasional TEiP style round of conversation. * In nearby clearings and 'rooms of the forest', throughout the day, there will be optional activities hosted by community members (e.g. improv, forest bathing, poetry, origami, etc.) * It will all be free! **Please [get in touch](https://www.alltogether.one/contact) if you'd like to run an activity 😊** **And please come along if you'd like to hang out and possibly try something new ❤️** **Notes on the general atmosphere:** * The vibe is relaxed, collaborative, and friendly. * Participate in as much or as little as you wish. * We appreciate both depth and levity in our conversations. * A 'beginner's mind' takes the pressure off everything. **Who should come:** Everyone! This group is not about being experts. The more perspectives, the richer our conversations and the richer our collective creativity. By bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world together, we all become a little wiser. **What to bring**: * Something to sit on - picnic rug, camping chair, plastic bag (handy because it can double as a bin-bag at the end of the day) * Water * Other drinks/snacks for yourself (you can share if you want to, but there's no pressure) * Layers, sunglasses, umbrella... it's London **Where we'll meet:** * Epping Forest - for the exact location and directions, check out our digital 'zine': https://thoughtexperiments.kit.com/teipdayretreat-october2026 **Some relevant links:** Substack - [Upcoming events and our evolving story](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/) 💌 Instagram -[Scrapbook and thought provoking stuff](https://www.instagram.com/thoughtexperimentsinpubs) ❤️ Whatsapp - [Occasional announcements](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DapwAXpnOHO5DRYThobpe4) Looking forward to meeting & talking & spending time under the trees with you! Bonny ❤️ N.B. we may take some photographs and videos at this event to share the story and help others discover our events. By attending, you acknowledge that you may appear in photos or videos. If you would prefer not to be included, just tell one of the organisers and we'll happily respect your wishes. #CoProduction #Creativity #Community #TEiPinthepark #ThoughtExperimentsInPubs #thegreatoutdoors #BritishSummer #Inclusivity #Openmindedness
