MY PUBLIC TALKS

My lectures offer a warm welcoming atmosphere, engaging people, fresh ideas, and open, honest conversation. Together we explore a topic that touches all of us in one way or another: love and relationships in a world that’s changing so rapidly. You’ll broaden your perspective, see familiar things in a new light, and connect with like-minded people.

I often give lectures and public talks on how love, family and relationships are changing in the 21st century. My lectures have already taken place in Tallinn, Riga, Barcelona, Istanbul, Berlin, Hamburg, Belgrade, Amsterdam, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other cities.
