Discussion Group
Existential Analysis:

Discussion group - is a monthly open-to-all event where participants are encouraged to share their ideas and personal experiences in a flexible and informal atmosphere. The aim of discussion groups is to further our understanding of existential theory and the meaning of being human, and also the exploration of our similarities and differences in relation to various existential themes.

 

Everyone is welcome to the discussion group regardless of their level of knowledge of existential philosophy or psychotherapy, and regardless of how much or little they want to participate in active discussion. Usually a short excerpt from a relevant key text will be recommended for reading before we meet – to help us to have a more coherent and fruitful discussion. But reading of the text is not mandatory and anyone who has not read the text is still fully welcome. At the discussion group we also often watch a short movie to facilitate the discussion.  

 

If you would like further details about the discussion group or would like to find out more about forthcoming events please contact the discussion group organiser.

 

Hope to see you at the discussion group!
