Human beings are experts in life and living. Each one of us has innate sensitivities, and unique kinds of ways for listening to creation and to the ‘unknown’. 

We are a creative process, which manifests itself through each one of us in a particular way. This is our ‘soul-print' that has been with us from the moment of our birth and perhaps even before that…(for generations, since ancient times…)


TAE can help explicate our deepest ‘implicit knowing’ that inspires our journey in this world, as part of the mystery of who we are. 


This knowing is not a conventional knowing, it is implicit knowing without ‘content’, it has the nature of a ‘different order’.It’s explication is a meaningful step that can bring blessing to our specific field of expertise.  


Our human life is a co-created work of art, where the process of creation is enabled as we turn towards a different kind of order; towards an infinite order. TAE steps can support us in carrying forward this extraordinary creation. 


In the first phase of the course we will concentrate on explicating the ‘knowing of our lives’. We will continue from there to explore how this inner knowing can manifest and direct us in our field of expertise or developing creative project. 


“It’s a ‘game changer’ when you understand and find that you have an inner knowing! This inner knowing is the heart of your life, and actually is creating your life.” - Dana and Baruch



What Will We Practice?

  • Working with the creative processes

    Integrating TAE in our creative work thereby birthing additional layers of meanings and possibilities in the project (and the process)

  • ‘Creating the Creator’

    Explicating and manifesting the innermost movements of our expertise/knowledge, without obscuring them in conventional terms or ‘killing the magic’ that gives them life.

  • Communicating ‘the unique’ we know to be true

    Developing our perception of creation beyond intuition; and enabling the intimate sharing of the outcome with others.

Thinking At the Edge TAE was developed by Eugene Gendlin and research colleagues as a method enabling direct access to implicit knowledge in one’s field of expertise/interest. It assumes that each one of us has the potential and responsibility to create regenerative knowledge for ourselves and for the society we live in.
The approach guides practitioners in expressing the potential in something that wants to be said. It is a movement from a felt sense of knowing, which alludes definition, to a ripening of new and articulately defined concepts and theories.

The objective of this stream is to enable participants to develop a mini-model that articulates their hidden spark – the unique gift we have to share with the world.

Itai Tal - director, producer and screenwriter

"One of the best and most significant courses I have done in my life. I think everyone and in particular creators and artists should do such a course, at least once. The course helped me discover and reveal places in a script I could not see before. The encouragement to stay with the ‘nothing comes’ and the fact that the course was very practical, helped me to crack characters and plot lines over and over again in each of the sessions."
