About Beings Club

A realisationhouse for the curious.

Beings Club is an ongoing community that brings curious people together through practice and conversation to discover what matters and realise what is possible.

What Beings Club does

Monthly Salons

Our monthly online gathering is called a Salon: around 90 minutes of guided curiosity practice and conversation. We meet in randomly assorted pairs and threes, with no prescribed conversation topics, to discover what becomes possible when we stay curious together.

An ongoing community

Membership gives these encounters a continuing home. It is freely offered and begins with a conversation and a mutual yes, so there is room to get to know one another over time.

Public gatherings

Beings Club also has a public events page for gatherings announced separately from the members’ Salons. Check each listing for its format, joining details and any cost.

What makes Beings Club different

Curiosity leads

We define curiosity as an orientation to experience that is open to discovery. Two principles guide the club — “Stay curious” and “Curiosity connects” — creating space for what is important to reveal itself and for things of value to be realised in reality.

Practice, then conversation

A Salon begins with around twenty minutes of guided curiosity practice before we meet in pairs and threes. The form stays reliable so what happens inside it can be free.

No prescribed conversation topics

There is no set topic to prepare for or position to defend. The invitation is to stay open to the person and experience in front of you, and discover where the conversation goes.

Freely offered membership

Membership and the monthly Salons are free. The club is sustained through generosity, with members invited to contribute if and when they want to.

Present for the people in the room

Salons are not recorded. They exist for those who show up, and you are welcome to come when you can.

Who joins Beings Club

Beings Club is for curious people from different backgrounds who want to explore what is possible in themselves, between us and in the world. It may be for you if you are:

  • Looking for open-ended conversation and connection with people you might not otherwise meet.
  • Interested in contemplative practice as a way of discovering new possibilities.
  • New to practice and curious to try it without being asked to adopt a belief.
  • Looking for an ongoing community you can return to, even if you cannot attend every month.

The person behind Beings Club

John, founder and host of Beings Club

John · founder and host

John has hosted Beings Club since January 2025. He is trained as a mindfulness meditation teacher and also works with people one-to-one through Space to Be.

Beings Club grew from his experience of a tea house at Plum Village, where conversations over tea expanded his sense of what is possible. The club is in the lineage of that atmosphere: a lineage of feeling, not a body of doctrine.

How Beings Club works

Begin with a conversation

Start at the membership entrance and follow the email sign-in steps to introduce yourself. Membership begins with a conversation with John and, if there is a mutual yes, the member area opens.

Join the next Salon

Members can sign in to join the next Salon and see its joining details. Salons take place online each month and last about 90 minutes; check the current listing for the date and time.

Practice and meet one another

We begin with guided curiosity practice, then move into conversations in randomly assorted pairs and threes. We close together, with time to land, share and digest.

Come when you can

Membership is ongoing and freely offered until you choose to leave. If you have questions before joining, email John; joining is a personal conversation, so allow time for a reply.
