At Underground Philosophy, you will take a seat before a small stage in the vault beneath Caz Reitop's.

You do not need to prepare anything. Just come with heart and mind open.

About Underground Philosophy

Through altered states of conversation, Underground Philosophy connects Melbourne’s thinkers, artists, and seekers. Here we resist the capture of algorithms and dissociating ideology. When we come to Underground Philosophy, we come to connect and experience thinking you can feel—philosophy with soul. In so doing, we contribute to a field of attention that seeks to support a deeper integrity to civic discourse.
