Philosophy is not a magic solution; it will not make challenges or suffering disappear. But it gives us practical and important tools for coping, especially during these complex times; it brings clarity where there is confusion and helps us find meaning and hope along the way.

On 16 December, a new session of the “Philosophy for Life” course will begin in Haifa, and we invite you to join us on a journey of discovery and acquaintance with the philosophical approach to life.

During the course, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, dare to encounter what is happening inside us, choose to confront our fears and habits, and constantly seek the connection between what is happening outside and what is happening inside us. In the process of getting to know ourselves, we will also discover what we have to give the world, because we are an inseparable part of it.

The course consists of 16 meetings, including an experiential weekend seminar, dealing with central topics relevant to our everyday lives. The meetings include discussion and experiential practice—writing, movement, creative work, visualization exercises, contemplation, and a wealth of other accessible tools. The variety of exercises in the course will help us encounter ourselves more closely and develop qualities of concentration, courage, compassion, sound discernment, and leadership. During the course, you will receive personal guidance, as well as opportunities for in-depth exercises at home.

Course structure

Part One: Being Myself—and Truly Living It

Who is the human being? What are the inner values we work with? How can we get to know ourselves better? How can we improve?

In this part, we will discuss natural philosophy and the inner battle through the wisdom of India, Tibet, Buddhism, and ancient Chinese wisdom.

Part Two: Belonging—the Power of Togetherness

We are here. Together. This is part of the story. The society in which we live is us, and we have the power to create change.

In this part, we will discuss the connection between the individual and society and how to live together without losing our personal freedom. We will explore Plato’s concept of society and the connection between the individual and the leader.

Part Three: Being Active—in Order to Build the Future

Do we believe that we can influence our future? To do so, we must broaden our perspective, understand how we got here, learn what is right to take from the past, and discover how we can influence reality.

In this part, we will become familiar with the philosophy of history, delve into the cyclical view of history, and explore the question of freedom and destiny.
