Democracy Café

If you walk into the Twig Book Shop, a idyllic bookstore situated in the Pearl District of San Antonio, in the afternoon on just about any second Tuesday of the month, you'll see a group of thoughtful souls clustered in a circle pondering timely and timeless questions a la Socrates Cafe. At their last gathering, they explored, with the facilitation of Socrates Cafe organizer Marta Amezquita: What does it mean to empty ourselves; is it good or bad? To which I wonder: Why does Socrates Cafe fill us with good things? I had the honor of being part of one of their gatherings late last year, and now also the honor having Marta as a guest on our podcast. Listen in as this wonderfully thoughtful and inquisitive person shares why their Socrates Cafe is such a singularly fulfilling staple for cultivation of self and community. {In the photo, Marta is on the far right)
