What we’re about

Welcome to Philosophy Soulspace Circle – Oslo
“For those who want to talk about life’s big questions, meaning, love, and stories.”

hosted by Patricia Kraft

Dear all,

My name is Patricia Kraft, and it truly warms my heart to invite you into this group. I’m a film director and visual storyteller, but most of all, I’m simply a human being who loves deep conversations about what it means to be alive, to care, and to connect. For more than 15 years I’ve also taught Norwegian, guiding people through the language and, just as often, into the questions of our shared humanity.
This group is for anyone who longs for honest, meaningful exchange. You don’t need any background in philosophy – just a bit of curiosity, and a willingness to show up as you are. I believe philosophy lives in our real stories and our everyday longings, not just in books or theories.

Here’s the spirit you’ll find here:

Relatable and real: Our topics are universal – intimacy, belonging, vulnerability, love. If you’ve ever felt or wondered about these things, you’ll feel at home.
Open for everyone: No special knowledge required. Your experience of being human is more than enough.
Warm and welcoming: This is a space for gentle sharing, genuine listening, and kind curiosity – not debate or right answers.
Personal exploration: Your stories and feelings are just as welcome as ideas and questions. We learn from each other.

We’ll meet at Kafe Albin, Briskebyveien 42 – a little oasis in Oslo, full of vintage charm and soul. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do.

With warmth,
Patricia Kraft

What Makes a Life Meaningful? – A Heartfelt Meetup & Discussion

Have you ever wondered what makes a life truly meaningful?
Or felt the ache of missed opportunities, longing, or regret?
Join us for an open, honest, and heartfelt evening inspired by the tragic short story of Charlotte Gabrielsen — a woman who seemed to have it all, yet struggled to find real happiness and meaning. Through Charlotte’s journey, we’ll explore what stands in the way of living fully, and how each of us, regardless of gender, can create lives that feel truly meaningful.

What to Expect:

We’ll begin with a moving, true-to-life story about Charlotte—her struggles, dreams, and the moments that slipped away.
This is not “just” a women’s story. Charlotte’s challenges—loneliness, missed chances, and the desire to be seen—are universal.
Together, we’ll reflect and discuss questions like:
How does our upbringing shape who we become?
What stops us from seizing life’s opportunities?
Why do some people thrive after setbacks, while others become stuck or bitter?
Is it possible to break free from the past and choose a new direction?
What really gives life its deepest meaning?
You’ll have a chance to share your own experiences or simply listen.
Expect a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for real talk and connection.

We will also read it at the beginning of the meeting.

The location is Kafe Albin, Briskebyveien 42
I hope you will find time, and an open heart to come and reflect with me on this topic.

Warm greetings
Patricia Kraft
