Mentors

Karl left the nationalist socialist kibbutz movement in Palestine and moved to Tel Aviv where he joined an international socialist movement inspired by Trotsky. At this point in his life he came in contact with the writings of A. S. Neill and Wilhelm Reich. He entered psychoanalysis to heal his personal wounds and to become a more effective human being. Through direct experience, study and insight, he began a journey into his inner world, which confirmed his belief that congruity between core inner beliefs and external reality is essential for those who want to contribute to the health of the human family.

Karl had the fortune of knowing some of the intellectual and physical architects of the 20th century and the prescience to see the significance of their work. His experience in both social science and the design of physical spaces enabled him to integrate these two disciplines in ways that could help people lead more meaningful lives.
