About
The Why is a therapist-led, semi-structured exploratory group for up to eight participants, exploring the human search for meaning, purpose and direction.
Drawing on existential philosophy and psychotherapy, the group explores some of the fundamental questions of being human: What gives life meaning? What does it mean to live well? How do freedom, responsibility and choice shape human existence? How do we live alongside uncertainty and the knowledge of mortality?
The group offers a space to think together, exchange ideas and explore different philosophical perspectives without needing to arrive at definitive answers. Through discussion, reflection and shared exploration, participants will consider the ways humanity has grappled with meaning, belonging, freedom, values and the question of how to live.
Week 1 — Opening & Connection
Introductions, icebreakers and establishing a group contract to create a shared framework for exploration and discussion.
Week 2 — Meaning & Purpose
Exploring humanity’s search for meaning, purpose and direction, and the different ways people have sought to understand what makes life meaningful.
Week 3 — Freedom & Responsibility
Exploring freedom, choice and responsibility, alongside the possibilities, limitations and tensions of human existence.
Week 4 — Courage to be & Authenticity
Exploring what it means to live authentically and have the courage to be oneself, while navigating the expectations, pressures and possibilities of the world around us.
Week 5 — Absurdity & Suffering
Exploring the tension between humanity’s search for meaning and the experience of suffering, uncertainty and an often indifferent world. Considering how we might respond when life does not provide the answers we seek.
Week 6 — Closing Reflections
Time to reflect on the questions, ideas and perspectives that have emerged, and what participants are taking away from the exploration.
