The online seminar "Donne che incontrano lo spirito" (Women Who Meet the Spirit), organized by the Vivere Filosofare community and hosted by philosopher‑consultant Federico Levy with philosopher Lisa De Luca, explores three historic women mystics – Mary Magdalene (through the apocryphal Gospel of Mary), Hildegard of Bingen, and Marguerite Porete – as lenses for a lived‑philosophy inquiry into the relationship between knowledge, love, and personal transformation. The session begins with a philosophical framing of what it means to truly know, contrasting mere informational knowledge with a deeper, transformative knowing that reshapes desire, action, and self‑understanding. For each figure, the presenters give a brief historical‑philosophical portrait, read a short, emblematic passage, and invite participants to reflect in writing on questions such as “Where am I missing the target?” (Mary Magdalene), “What does health mean for me as a living harmony of body, soul, and world?” (Hildegard), and “What truly possesses me?” (Marguerite). The discussion emphasizes an existential, non‑doctrinal approach that treats philosophy as a practice rather than a doctrine, encouraging participants to use paper‑and‑pen exercises as philosophical triggers. The seminar also outlines the broader Vivere Filosofare program: a series of three seminars merged into a 12‑lesson video course with interactive sessions, aimed at fostering a community where participants co‑create philosophical inquiry without guru‑like authority. The session concludes with invitations to join the community, details on enrollment deadlines, and a closing wish for a "good philosophical life."
