Content

Watch the trailer here.

During this FREE Online Summit you will explore questions such as:

• What on earth does 'existential' even mean?
• What is the meaning of my life?
• Why do I struggle, even when things 'should' be okay?
• How can philosophy be helpful for human wellbeing?
• I'm bored of books - what music, art, films, nature can help me explore philosophy?
• How can I work existentially with clients and colleagues?
• How can attending this summit inspire me SO MUCH - is there magic involved?!

Target Audiance

A key focus of this summit and project is to introduce existential philosophies and ideas to the general public.

No experience with philosophy or academia is required.

Philosophers, psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists, health professionals, sociologists, and anthropolists may find these talks especially useful, as many speakers specifically address existential ideas from these approaches.

If you are a 'creative type' or enjoy arts and crafts , you may find these talks especially insiprational.

If you are a human in a world of other humans... this is the summit for you. Pets are also welcome.

_____

I often struggle to justify spending money on myself, so I try to put things in perspective. Same for you? Well... here's some help:

£50.00 is for all 25 talks . This works out at £2.00 per talk.

• This is less than half a pint that would be guzzled down
• This is about the same as a block of cheese that would be munched away
• This may otherwise be lost into petrol or rent instead of winning you lifetime acess to a source of inspiration

On a more serious note... this will not only add something to your life, it will enable Existential Offerings to continue developing projects that raise awareness and increase access to philosophies for people from a diverse range of backgrounds. The hope is to provide more people opportunities to explore these lifechanging ideas of meaning and hope. Together we connect and discover how humans can live meaningfully together on this special planet of ours.

If you are moved by anything that you hear in the summit, in the words of Tom and Donna, I would reccommend that you TREAT YO SELF.

It has been the greatest pleasure to encounter these incredible speakers and I am grateful to be able to produce this summit for you to share the experience.

I hope that you, your friends, and your loved ones who may join enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!

With love and inspiration,
