Target Audiance

If you are a human... this is the summit for you. Pets are also welcome.

No experience with philosophy or academia is required. Try not to be put off by the sometimes 'wordy' talk titles - all are welcome to explore these ideas regardless of your background.

Philosophers, psychotherapists, writers, 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, you may find these talks especially insiprational.

Your Contribution Helps Others

Purchasing an All Access Pass 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.

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

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

With love and inspiration,
