This week at Kinship Cafe, we’re exploring one of the most powerful ideas in the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching):
Absence and Presence.
Not as opposites—but as a single, continuous process.
We’ll look at how:
- What we call “nothing” is actually the source of everything
- What appears, changes—and returns
- The world isn’t built from fixed objects, but from patterns of emergence and transformation
This is an open, discussion-based gathering.
No prior knowledge needed. Just curiosity.
📍 Drop in anytime
🗣️ All perspectives welcome
☕ Thoughtful conversation, grounded in a naturalistic reading of the Daodejing
If you’ve ever felt there’s more to reality than what we name and label… this conversation is for you.
