| Perhaps the greatest dangers are arrogance and complacency, especially when we become skilled at defending them. Admitting our thinking may be inadequate is the first step towards change.

| What is Love? Plato's Symposium! | The Victoria (Birmingham) | Indy + Chris B | 28/07/2026 | 19:30 |
| Love is everywhere. We write songs about it, search for it, celebrate it, and sometimes lose it. But what is it? Is love simply attraction? Is it friendship? More than 2,000 years ago, Plato explored these questions in one of philosophy's most famous dialogues, The Symposium. Set at a drinking party in ancient Athens, a group of guests take turns answering a single question: What is love? .... Their answers couldn't be more different.
