The Praxis Sessions Thread
Praxis Sessions are our regular workshops and meet ups. We share ideas and projects, tools and resources and participate in various workshops headed by members in order to better prepare ourselves to participate in the new system we are building.
This thread is for discussing the sessions, dropping links to more information and further reading related to topics and exercises brought up at the various sessions, leave feedback and to generally expand on the Praxis sessions themselves.
Praxis is "...the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, embodied, or realized. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practising ideas. This has been a recurrent topic in the field of philosophy, discussed in the writings of Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Immanuel Kant, Søren Kierkegaard, Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, Paulo Freire, Ludwig von Mises, and many others. It has meaning in the political, educational, and spiritual realms."
I am using it in the context of putting ideas into practice and using feedback from that practice to improve on the idea. Constant practice as opposed to goal oriented movements :).

Please vote on whether this date works for you, and if it doesn't please state why so we can decide on whether we should move the date or not.
If you vote "Yes" then you are good with the date :).

Ok guys and gals! Just a quick reminder that the first Praxis session of 2017 is happening in just three days!! Looking forward to seeing you all soon.
Like I mentioned earlier, refreshments will be communal, so people should please bring drinks and food along with them. I am looking to pool money together for subs (sandwiches ala Subway) from sub's delight here in Lekki - supporting local business - and they are charging something like N10,500 for 8 - 12 people. I think if we get 2 portions of that and make up the difference with whatever else people bring, we should be good to go.
What do you guys think?
