The Symposium NYC: At the Edge of Experience

Symposium #6: At the Edge of Experience: Philosophy, the Occult, and Ways of Knowing

Before certainty, proof, or fixed belief, how do we come to know what we know? Drawing from philosophy and occult traditions, this gathering asks how sensing, intuition, ritual, and relational experience shape knowledge alongside reason. Together, we’ll explore ways of knowing that emerge not from mastery, but from proximity, attention, and being-with what cannot be fully grasped.

Join us for "The Symposium," a vibrant discussion-style event blending intellect and leisure at Alke Cafe!

This eclectic gathering invites critical thinkers and curious minds to engage in dynamic discussions on contemporary topics ranging from philosophy and arts to technology and culture, all while enjoying great food, delicious cocktails, and good company. With shared reading and listening materials and guided conversations, this event is an opportunity to network and converse in a relaxed atmosphere, where we hope you can engage in dialogue that will leave you feeling inspired and connected.

Whether you’re a seasoned conversationalist or just looking to learn something new, come raise a glass and share your ideas in an unforgettable evening of conversation and creativity!

Presented by La Fuñenda, a community-oriented, POC, artist centered, queer collective.
