PHI SEMINARS
WELCOME TO PHILOSOPHICAL HEALTH SEMINARS. BELOW YOU WILL FIND RECORDINGS OF PAST SEMINARS. IF YOU SIGNED UP VIA THE PH SEMINARS INTEREST FORM YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED OF UPCOMING LIVE SEMINARS VIA EMAIL.
COLLECTIVE FLOURISHING
In this seminar, Clare will share insights from her doctoral work on Collective Flourishing and explore how the SMILE_PH method integrates with her self-to-collective leadership model. This session will introduce key ideas on developing adaptive capacity, deep relational intelligence, and a commitment to human flourishing as an embedded way of being rather than an output to strive for. Through practical reflections and discussion, Clare will offer a fresh perspective on how leadership can move beyond individual optimization to create environments where both people and systems naturally thrive together.
DAO & PHILOSOPHICAL HEALTH
In this session, Patrik will look at Philosophical Health through the lens of "Inner Sustainability". He will be sharing his approach to the inner work, which is inspired by Daoist cosmology and the methods of Zen Coaching. We are also going to explore how these methods intertwine with the six elements of philosophical health. Finally, Patrik and Luis will be presenting the Philosophical Health retreat that we are planning for in June in the Swedish wilderness. Luis will be there and it will be a regenerating feast for the body and mind!
'Self-Transcendence Unpacked: Linking Trait, Process, and Practice for Personal Growth
In this talk, Christian addresses the notion of self-transcendence and it’s contribution to meaning in life and personal growth — specifically, with a view on realizing it by means of the SMILE_PH method. Researchers discuss self-transcendence in terms of personality trait, personal growth process, and spiritual practice. Drawing on a philosophical analysis of the concept of human personhood, Christian presents a philosophical framework that captures all three meanings. As a result, it will become explicit why talking about someone feeling a sense of belonging or pursuing a higher purpose is considered equivalent to self-transcending. In addition, it will also become clearer why the method of SMILE_PH (intended to strengthen the sense of belonging, sense of purpose and philosophy of life) contributes to personal growth and meaning in life.
