At meaningseekers,‘The whole is greater than the sum of its parts’ is our motto. Interactive discussions designed to stimulate creative thinking clarify each group member’s unique perspective and strengths and bring new insights to light. Each member is a piece of the puzzle that fits together to make a beautiful picture.
Meanings and values defy definition, for two reasons: a) until they are played out in reality they remain abstract and b) their value-content is bound up with the details of the situation in which they manifest themselves.

In the meaningseekers logoeducation model, the specific circumstance of each individual’s unique experience highlights the values and meanings that life has extended to them. The discussion revolves around the search for meanings and values that start out as abstract and hidden, and gradually become revealed and tangible in their real life manifestations.
The perspective of equality and mutual learning between all of the group members generates insights each of the individual members could not have come to on his or her own.

The discovery of meaning in a group is a creative process that is a powerful stimulus for change
