This is the final session of the three part series on Limit Situations. In this one, we continue our discussions on limit situations with emphasis on real life examples and how to apply it in everyday life.

"In everyday life, we are usually quite comfortably settled into our comfort zone: we take the same route to work, interact with the same people, shop at our trusted store, and cook what we know tastes good. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
But what happens when a situation suddenly catapults us out of our comfort zone? How do we react when something unexpected occurs? What feelings arise when our previous self-image or worldview is challenged?
Karl Jaspers coined the fitting term *limit situation* for this: when we reach the limits of our self-image and worldview, our previous “shell” collapses, according to Jaspers. The shell we had settled into no longer offers protection and we are in an experience of crisis.
Are there ways to cope with such situations better or worse? What can help us keep our heads? Can this inner upheaval, in some cases, even be turned into a growth experience? Which specific behavior will foster inner growth in moments of crisis?
These are the kinds of questions we want to explore together in this philosophy workshop.
👉 The motto: Philosophy for everyone – just give it a try!
💛 Everyone is warmly welcome – no prior knowledge required.
No lectures:
🤝 We will embark on a shared journey of discovery and experience philosophy as a living practice!
🙂 We’ll have conversations, exchange arguments, and organize our insights together."

About the Host:
Anna is a philosopher specialised in Neoplatonism and the existentialism of Kierkegaard. She has a special desire and experience in making philosophical thoughts and methods accessible to interested people outside the closed academic system.

You don't need any prior philosophical knowledge to attend this event and a prior reading of the text is also not necessary. This is also a stand alone event. You can attend even if you missed the first two.

Anna will conduct the workshop in an interactive way, making sure to make it engaging for everyone while also providing some inspiring input.
After the workshop we will be able to discuss further and socialise at our brunch at Cafe del Mundo.

This is a paid event.
