THE WIDER NETWORK

  • Cosy cafe in Berlin, one of the network branches of THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS (TEiP). Founded in 2023, by Bonny Astor, TEiP is the original thought experiment focussed in-person discussion series and has inspired events around the world.

    BERLIN

    TEiP Berlin is hosted by Dirk Feibingler, who was handed the baton by Aino Kivinen in 2025. Aino came to several early TEiP events in London. When she moved to Berlin, she missed these conversations and wanted to share them with more people, so she set up TEiP Berlin.

    Dirk, already the host of his own community, enjoyed Aino’s TEiP meetups, so when she had to stop hosting, he volunteered to keep the community going. Together, Dirk and Aino have been running TEiP Berlin for 3 years :-)

  • HOST IN YOUR CITY

    TEiP is a delight to host. You get to meet new people, provide much needed opportunities for connection and contemplation, and over time create a community.

    The TEiP format is tried and tested, as are plenty of thought experiments, so it’s easy to get started.

    To make it even easier, I’ve written a comprehensive hosting guide based on all my experiences and set up a few opportunities for hosts to get together and share learning.

    If you’re interested in setting up your own group and becoming part of the network, there’s lots more information about how you can do that with either a FREE or PAID license here:

  • INSPIRED

    THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS has inspired several spin off events.

    For example: Nicole Forrester set up “Thought Experiments on Patios” in Austin Texas in 2026 after attending several of the original London events in 2023. She plans to adapt the original concept, rebrand, and evolve in a new direction, but the core idea is drawn from Thought Experiments in Pubs London.

    It has been heartening to see how popular the TEiP concept has been in new environments, creating the same snowball effect as in 2023 when TEiP founder, Bonny Astor hosted the first event of this kind.
