Being and Becoming
Being and Becoming: A Community for the Curious is a Toronto based non-profit organization that has a central mission to create a community around the philosophical exploration of ideas, questions, and experiences so that we may live more intentional, connected, and meaningful lives.
Our Events
Every two weeks, we invite members of our community to engage in a collaborative exploration of a chosen topic and dig deeper into whatever it is we are most curious about.
We are launching a new pilot civic engagement series in Fall 2026 with support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation Seed Grant. Stay tuned for the event announcements on our socials and Eventbrite!

Creating a Community for the Curious
Far from confining ourselves to the world of academic philosophy, we aim for a diverse representation of disciplines among our leadership, our audience, and our guests, who include artists, teachers, writers, as well as philosophers. We also seek to offer a diverse range of events, from formal soirées to open mic nights to discussion cafés, and more! In other words, there’s something for everyone.
We are committed to listening and learning from the desires, needs, and interests of our community. We aim to highlight and explore the work that is being done in academic and non-academic spaces to build stronger connections in the community.
We are supported, in part, by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
