_ Looking For Something Different?  Our 'Spa For The Mind' Could Be Just What You Are Looking For!

wine women and philosophy (wwp) offers women with inquiring minds a range of stimulating philosophy experiences.  We make learning something new an adventure. We make engaging with philosophy feel like a foray into a new world.

Our aim is to pique your interest and freshen your outlook. Our mission is to create an accessible and enriching women-centered learning community in which horizons are stretched and lives are enhanced.

As a philosophy school for women, we offer far more than just a course.  We celebrate the new freedoms that women feel as they get older and put their life experiences into perspective. We take seriously what women have to say about the joys and challenges that accompany these new freedoms and we turn their insights into philosophy. For this is what philosophy is : an engagement with thinking and doing that prompts us to ask questions and ignites our creative and reflective side.

We encourage women to experiment with new ideas and in so doing, you help us - Linnet and Rona - to develop a community of inquiry.  We are working hard to create spaces for women that are friendly, safe and welcoming: places where women who are curious about philosophy can grow and flourish in the company of like-interested women.
Why wine?

Wine, for us, is part nuance, part nectar  - nice in the glass, yes, but even more important, symbolizing that sense of coming together in a relaxed setting to celebrate the moment.

Why women?

Women amaze us. Our philosophy experiences build on that special synergy that women generate when they come together in an open and friendly environment.

Why philosophy?

Philosophy is alive, and it applies to everyone - it can thrill us and move us to think and act in new ways.

Why you?

You'll laugh,
You'll share,
You'll grow,
You'll talk,
You'll reflect,
You'll experiment,
You'll be you.
wine women and philosophy is:
  • a school where enriching learning experiences happen
  • an opportunity to meet passionate and creative thinkers who are eager to share their knowledges with you
  • a welcoming place to come along to on your own
  • an outing like no other for you and your friends, sisters, colleagues, mothers, daughters, favourite aunt...
  • an evolving women-centered community of inquiry

What we offer

We currently run three kinds of unique learning experiences for women: our monthly salons for wwp members in Montreal; our Philosophy Club which embarks on its third 6-week session in early 2013; and one-off salon events for you and your friends in your home or in a venue of your choice.

What women say about us...

"Thank you for making such a warm, safe, welcoming and challenging place to let me try out new visions and ideas. I would do this again and again."
