In The Connectionist Café, people gather to discover and make connections.
In the chapter which describes a group of strangers and acquaintances getting together to explore the philosophy of connections and networks, the group leader gets them to write a list of what, and who, they love.
As they share their lists, she creates a map of who has what in common with who – a rapidly developing complex “rhizome” of their connections.
Why not try this for yourself? There are two phases, the first, where you make your own list, prompts you to reflect on what and who you chose to put on your list.
The second phase, is a group phase. You have to do it with several others – either people you are already familiar with, or people you’re meeting for the first time (for example at a workshop or other event).
The Connectionist Cafe is an interlinked collection of short stories about everyday Glasgow folk discovering connections in their lives which deepen their experience of life and help them to better understand themselves and others.
In the Connectionist Cafe people meet, talk, explore, learn and connect together. It’s a place to enjoy and a place to grow.
