The Global Existential Summits were developed by Dr Natalie Fraser following her training in existential philosophy and psychotherapy. As she fell in love with these powerful ideas, she realised that no one seemed to give the same answer to her question ‘what is existential philosophy?’.
Natalie initially started ‘Existential Offerings‘ offering a creative range of free accessible resources looking at the “Big Questions” in life, and later started FREE live events ‘The Existential Tribe‘ bringing people together from around the world as fellow travellers exploring existential ideas.
Natalie also began interviewing leading existential thinkers from around the globe asking what ‘existential’ meant to them, and how these ideas can bring healing and meaning. These dialogues are shared in yearly online summits that welcome people from all walks of life to explore life-changing ideas in a more creative and accessible way than mainstream education.
The first Global Existential Summit ‘Mission #1’ was launched in January 2022. Offering FREE ACCESS TO EVERYONE it reached thousands of people from around the world. The project has since continued to develop, with the second Global Existential Summit ‘Mission #2’ released in January 2023 and the third Global Existential Summit ‘Mission #3’ launching in January 2024.
These projects aim to:
– Offer a community for people to explore and confront these often lonely and challenging life questions.
– Move beyond the mainstream white western ‘existential elite’ by honouring the magnificent range of global voices.
– Increase inclusivity within a discipline that tends to be expensive and elitist by providing free resources and events.
So glad that you’ve found your way to us, and hopefully these projects will connect you with inspiration and fellow travellers on your mysterious journey of life.
