Most organisational studies on meaning and well-being do not reference the Absurd from where the discourse must begin and from where mental states of flourishing or resignation can emerge. Beckett's absurdist play Waiting for Godot' acts as a compelling device for contemplating the art of finding meaning through the spiritual interface of man's relationship with himself, the problem of free will, an appeal to divine agency evidenced through Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling' and the existential deliberations in Albert Camus's Myth of Sisyphus when examining the absurd and in invoking a transcendental movement towards finding purpose. In all the relativism of moral codes that are expounded, a constant element is the need for a spiritual anchor which can heal emotional fragmentation through a decisive moral code on which the edifice of the human condition can be reasoned. This explorative study provides a determining reference point when developing reflective interventions to examine meaning and existential purpose in social and occupational practice. The paper examines the concept of absurdism through the philosophy of Camus and juxtaposes this with the spiritual existentialism of Soren Kierkegaard and St Augustine in understanding the human condition as a forward movement from absurdism towards meaning. 2025 International Network for the Study of Spirituality and Taylor &amp; Francis.
