For those of us do not share that faith, it is designed to ask how does your morality impact on the decisions you make about various issues in our world today. The Café of Dangerous Ideas gives you the chance to actively engage your faith and to make connections with others in the community who want to learn and discuss. We welcome you whatever your beliefs and understandings. We usually meet on the last Friday of the month at the Sycamore Tree Café at 185 Burgundy Street Heidelberg from 7.30 – 9.30pm. A delicious supper is also provided. This month's topic is 'What's It Like to Participate in a Shamanic Rite of Passage?' •
