Crop Rotation
An ad hoc seminar on works of art and intellect. Trying to live the life of the mind together; cultivating fields of thought.
One of the four hosts sets an assignment for each meeting. That leader then asks an opening question to guide the discussion. The only rule for what can be assigned is that the leader must be able to ask a good opening question.
