Is there any place where people who are interested in learning and teaching, gather and share ideas.......In person? (not speaking of politics or religion) a creative ranch so to speak? I hope I
have not crossed any lines, but I think It would be awesome to be around people who are willing to teach and learn?
thanks, Steve (o.k. with private message )
p.s. was looking in the 90's and classes were 38,000 a year here! ouch
You do have to pay your own travel and lodging. Most important, attendees may be expected to have something to contribute something based on facts, their own published works, or accepted principles. In other words, someone off the street might find it hard to get an invitation to speak.
What have you done to find such groups? There are support groups and special interest groups for a huge number of subjects in the US.

Edit: When I was a teenager, CalTech (Pasadena, California, USA) had weekly science lectures that were open to the public. I went to them whenever I could get a ride. Some of the more memorable lectures were on triple point, aerodynamics, and high energy physics. Check your local universities.
