In this episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele explores the timeless wisdom hidden inside Raphael’s Renaissance masterpiece, The School of Athens. More than a fresco on a Vatican wall, this gathering of philosophers mirrors the architecture of the human mind—our inner tensions, search for balance, and pursuit of truth.

Through the gestures of Plato and Aristotle, the presence of Hypatia, and the chorus of thinkers surrounding them, Dr. Sucamele uncovers the psychological lessons of openness and order, truth and denial, masculine and feminine energy, wonder and grounding. Together, these voices create what she calls “the full parliament of the mind.”

Step inside the painting, and discover how Raphael’s vision still speaks to our healing, our wholeness, and our everyday search for meaning.
