The Importance of Lasting Connections:
Interintellect Salons prioritize building ongoing relationships rather than one-off encounters. Recognizing the early 21st-century challenge of fleeting connections, our events are designed to foster long-term engagement and community integration.
Creating a Cohesive Community:
Salons and hosts have channels in our Discord server, ensuring participants can continue discussions and deepen connections. For series events, subsequent dates are clearly communicated via Discord and email, inviting continuous participation.
Fostering Openness and Engagement:
This approach enhances the sense of security and belonging, encouraging attendees to freely share thoughts and emotions, contributing to a dynamic and supportive community environment.
Accessibility and Inclusivity:
Interintellect salons welcome participants of all knowledge levels by maintaining an atmosphere where hosts facilitate rather than lecture. Preliminary reading and active participation are encouraged, but no advanced expertise is required.
Facilitation Role:
Hosts ensure all perspectives are considered and every participant has an opportunity to contribute, fostering a laid-back and collaborative environment.
Service-Oriented:
Interintellect hosts are positioned alongside, not above, attendees within the salon, serving as fellow learners who guide meaningful conversations in a friendly and inclusive manner.
Creating a Familiar Environment:
Interintellect salons follow a consistent format, providing participants with a familiar and secure space where they can engage deeply with the topic and each other.
Ritual and Repetition:
Repetition helps attendees relax and focus fully on intellectual explorations. It's a ritualistic environment where attendees can immerse themselves in the topic, introspect, and connect with others.
Host Responsibility:
