Schelling Day is a rationalist holiday (designed by Ben Landau-Taylor) that is about sharing important and personal things in our lives, and getting to know each other better. The holiday involves a fun ritual for talking about feelings, and a potluck dinner.
There is some debate on the most Schelling time to gather and discuss feelings, but the birthday of Thomas Schelling (April 14) seemed like a good choice. Last year's debut of Schelling Day was a great success, and we look forward to holding it again!
I don't know exactly what you are doing in these sessions
I don't know exactly; I wasn't there and it's possible Ben_LandauTaylor made everything up and brainwashed everyone into going along. This all said, have you read the writeup?
