Don't overthink it. Look up faculty and try to find one that teaches introductory courses. Send them an email stating something along the lines that you're a non student looking to learn a little more than high school introductory terms. Ask if there's a lecture you could audit or a time like office hours where you could ask questions. A bunch of professors would probably be willing to talk to a flat earther if they were approached on a polite and courteous manner.

If your interest can't be satisfied with a question session, you could look into whether a local university has an option for non-degree students to enroll in classes. That's an option that's frequently not advertised but is pretty common (at least in the US.)

That would be an expensive hobby project, haha!

Some community and state colleges can be pretty cheap, and most schools offer night classes for those who work all day. A gen-ed like geology is likely to have such hours available for this community of night students, especially if you live in an area where geology is related to employment. Usually pretty cheap to take one class at a time through something like an Adult and Continuing Education program.

To be clear, I'm Canadian. As far as I'm aware big-boy institutions are the only option. They're cheaper than the US ones, especially if you stay in province, but it's still hundreds per credit.
