Please join my existential study group. This is a group for creatives and for everyone interested in existential thought and existential coaching. Below are the logistics and details. Here is the place to join the group:

DETAILS AND LOGISTICS
The existential study group does not meet at any set times. It is conducted entirely via email and so fits every schedule. I want people from all over the world to be able to enjoy the group, benefit from it, and become personally familiar with certain core ideas and practices that flow from existential thought.
Right now, only I can post to the group. But when we begin, in mid-May, I will allow everyone to post. This means that we may generate a LOT of traffic. You can either live with this and enjoy all the traffic <smile> or you can change your setting at the site.
You have four options regarding settings: to get all emails, to get a digest of emails, to get abridged emails, or to get no email (you would then only be able to read emails at the site). Once we get started and you see how things are going, you can decide on the best option for you. Here is the place to change settings (if you’re happy getting all emails, then there is nothing for you to do).
If you want to do a little preliminary reading, I recommend that you visit the following link and peruse the entry on existentialism in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Here is the link. This will provide you with an excellent basic introduction to existential thought.
If you have any questions or first thoughts, you can reach me at ericmaisel@hotmail.com. I’ll be in touch over the next few weeks, but we won’t officially begin until the week of May 15. By the way, if you’d like to do a little reading in my books, I would suggest Life Purpose Boot Camp, Rethinking Depression and/or The Van Gogh Blues; and, for the atheists among you, The Atheist’s Way. But no reading is required <smile>. We’ll get our feet nicely wet mid-May.
That’s it for the moment. Welcome! I look forward to our time together.
Best,
Eric
