I agree with what you write. Events can indeed 'force' us to learn and grow, whether we like it or not.
However, in the context of a PD club I'd say there's no growth without goal setting. It may be an interesting club to discuss all kinds of PD methods and techniques, but for me that would not be very valuable. I've experienced that several times.
YMMV of course
