Café Psychologique

Café Psychologique is a space where people can talk about life over a drink from a psychological perspective. It builds on the philosophy of Café Scientifique to take ideas out of professional settings like universities, laboratories and clinics to make them accessible to people in their everyday life.

Like Café Scientifique there are trained professionals to provide a resource to the café, but there are no lectures or seminars. Instead ideas are dropped into to the group to stimulate thought and discussion and people are actively invited to bring along issues they want to talk about, discuss, explore or find help with.

Café Psychologique has been created by Chris Powell and after two pilots at Greenbelt Arts festival the first ongoing UK Café Psychologique has been set up at Seven Arts in Chapel Allerton, Leeds.

Chris is looking for other venues in the UK to set up more Café Psychologique events.
