"Island Thinking" is an opportunity to share our artistic and intellectual endeavours. On a Saturday evening, at about 2-monthly intervals, someone shares the fruits of their study – academic, art, music, spiritual and the like.

The subject matter is entirely up to the presenter but is generally aimed at offering an insight into the particular realm of study. We have been getting together for about 18 months, and in most enjoyable, relaxed social settings have proved that in fact we are a rich thinking community.

“Island Thinking” is NOT an oxymoron. We have learnt about such things as oral traditions and vedic mathematics, Druids and the fourth way, lateral thinking and perception, yoga and zen meditation, the art and method of print making, the Shakers, progress and despair - an apt description of the interaction between Indian Sanskrit pandits and British scholars in India in colonial times. Our end-of year party even provided some insights into Christmas and why we celebrate it.
