Meeting with Meaning:
Why Life Feels Empty — and How to Find Purpose
Why Life Feels Empty — and How to Find Purpose
Have you ever asked yourself: Why am I here? or What’s the point of all this?
You’re not alone — these questions follow everyone, sooner or later.
At this event, we’ll explore everything you need to gain a deep insight into the question:
What “meaning” is — and how we find meaning in anything.
Why people search for the meaning of life, and why they cannot find it.
What answers religion and science offer — and why they don’t really satisfy us.
The role we personally play in answering the question of life’s meaning.
The questions you must ask yourself before you can answer the big one.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between “there must be more to life” and “I have no idea what that is” — this is a space for you.
At this one-time unique event, expect a fresh look at the eternal question, thought-provoking conversation, and ideas that will stay with you long after the event.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Andrey Kazantsev is a mentologist — a specialist in value systems and worldviews — and the president of the Mentality Innovation Center.
For the past four years, Andrey has worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds to help them understand what truly drives them: their values, beliefs, and internal frameworks. He has hosted and facilitated over 150 group events, creating spaces where people can reflect, question, find their answers, and grow together. His sessions combine deep philosophical insight with real-world clarity, often described as “life-changing,” “eye-opening,” or simply “the first time something finally made sense.”
Andrey's event is neither an academic lecture nor motivational training — it’s a guided exploration, led by someone who lives and breathes the very questions we often avoid. If you’ve ever wondered how your inner world shapes your outer life, you’ll find in Andrey not just a speaker, but a fellow seeker and guide.

"Andrey is an excellent organizer and presenter, as well as a very good speaker and coach. I am very pleased with his men's meetings because the topics we discuss are very important for personal growth."

"The concept of scale is a fundamental analytical tool that doesn't receive enough attention in organizational education systems. I regard it as one of my essential world view lenses that I had to painstakingly develop on my own. The meetings Andrey held that assumed scale as an analytical basis crystalize many fundamental topics such as duty, self or progress; In turn proving to be a great introduction to understanding scale, and the weight anything holds in relation to another. It is an indispensable tool that helps us on a daily basis, but more importantly helps open up existential perspectives that one wouldn't have noticed with a naked eye."
