Toronto-area Meet Up, Sunday Nov 3rd, 2013

October 29, 2013 by Greg Jarvis

We will be having our next meeting on Sunday Nov 3rd at 2pm in the upstairs front room of Tequila Bookworm (512 Queen Street West, near Bathurst) . All synesthetes are welcome. We'll be discussing how synesthesia has influenced us, what we've learnt from it, and what knowledge we can pass on to other synesthetes to help them explore and utilize their abilities. This meeting is only open to synesthetes though we will have other events in the future that are open to researchers and those with a general interest in synesthesia.
