What we’re about
Thinking While Drinking Online (http://thinkingwhiledrinking.org/) is the online companion to the TWD groups that meet in person across the country.
Just like when we get together in person, TWD Online is for those interested in discussing topics that will exercise, stimulate and expand your mind - all while (optionally) enjoying a drink over Zoom.
For each event, the facilitators will come prepared with a handful of thought provoking questions and concepts on the topic at hand, we'll see what everyone has to say and go from there...
We are not suggesting that life's difficult and fascinating questions will be neatly answered during our meetups nor that any sort of professional therapy or dogma will take place. This is just a space to meet other curious, sociable and open-minded people in an atmosphere of exploration and enjoyment.
Last but not least, our group is run entirely by volunteers and your donations go a long way to keep us afloat. Help support us by contributing to our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thinkingwhiledrinking).
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you at an upcoming online event!

Suggested viewing before we meet (4 min video): Overcoming Negative Thought Patterns to Find Joy
- What foundations do we need in order to be happy?
- Are there situations or circumstances that might preclude a feeling of happiness?
- How might natural beauty, the uniqueness of strangers, or the relationships surrounding us all contribute to a feeling of happiness?
- What are some strategies for identifying and challenging negative thought patterns?
Let's think about it!

About TWD Online events:
- Zoom event starts at 3pm pacific
- From 3p-3:30p, members join the main Zoom room to mingle, watch the video again, grab a beverage and settle in
- At 3:30pm, the hosts create Zoom breakout rooms where groups of 6-10 members join to have a more in-depth conversation about the topic
- Between 5 and 5:30, the hosts decide to end their facilitation and leave their breakout room to return to the main room. At 5:30 PM, all of the breakout rooms are closed and members will be returned to the main room for the ‘post discussion party'.
