This workshop is designed to foster empowerment, discovery, growth, and fulfillment. Facilitated by Ronnie Dunetz, this program aims to help participants connect with their personal values and cultivate a meaningful life.
WHY? WHAT?
Can Meaning Drive Us?
Many perceive meaning as an abstract or philosophical concept, distant from daily life. However, meaning serves as the hidden engine that dictates our lives—it distinguishes between mere existence and fulfillment, between routine actions and deep satisfaction. Meaning is not just an idea; it's the energy that propels us each morning, the force behind our creativity, love, and influence. When we align with our personal meaning, life gains depth, clarity, and vitality.
Meaning as the Fulfillment of Our Core Values
Meaning isn't solely about external achievements; it's about living in accordance with our deepest values. By actualizing values such as love, generosity, creativity, growth, and connection, we experience profound meaning and a sense of wholeness. Meaning manifests in the wholehearted work we do, the relationships we nurture, the way we confront challenges, and how we contribute to others.
Embark on a Fascinating Journey to Discover and Cultivate Meaning in Our Lives
In this workshop, participants will explore how to live lives connected to their values, learn practical tools for creating clarity, inner resilience, and self-fulfilment, and discover how to transform everyday life into a meaningful journey filled with genuine satisfaction and passion.

My approach:
I believe that meaning, hope, and authenticity are gateways to a fulfilling life. As a socially-minded entrepreneur, senior group facilitator, and personal coach, I have been coaching/facilitating individuals and groups in Israel and globally for over 21 years. With 15 years of experience in business development within the medical and technology sectors, I am certified in logotherapy (meaning-based therapy) and "Sage-ing" (conscious aging). My focus is on "meaning-based coaching," assisting individuals in navigating life transitions, overcoming crises, and fostering hope during challenging times. Born and raised in the USA, today living in Israel, I spent five years in my twenties living in the Far East, studying martial arts and spiritual traditions. I hold an MBA in International Management and a Ph.D. in Wisdom Studies with a thesis on "Reflections of Children of Holocaust Survivors in the Second Half of Life."
