Dialogues

I have organized countless dialogues for the past 15 years and developed a simple-yet-effective dialogue format. The practice effortlessly and naturally creates a space for genuine contact and deep communication, with a high degree listening and inclusivity.

The roots of my love for dialogues goes back to volunteering in the Prometheus camps, youth coming-of-age camps which involve lots of dialogues. I was organizing these camps between 2007-2016 and also training the camp facilitators. Between 2009-2015 I was organizing the yearly Youth Philosophy Event and invented and implemented the concept of ’philosophical tea times’ there.

Since 2016 I have within my friend circle organized perhaps approximately one hundred ’mate circles’ , consisting drinking mate in a having a dialogue. From year 2021, this dialogue practice has been heavily influenced by thoughts and methods of David Bohm. On this basis, in summers 2022, 2023 and 2024, me and group of dear friends have organized three dialogue camps. Also, I have been organizing dialogues in various festivals and events (such as The Borderland and Aether festivals).
