The Congress is an important opportunity to come together at an international level, an opportunity for exchange and for comparison.
The structure of the Congress will provide:
- Plenary session contacts
- Experiential workshops
- Interactions in parallel with workshops
- Co-creative dialogue in themed groups
- Round-table meetings
The members of the International Scientific/Organizing Committee will invite people belonging to their geographical area who, in their opinion, may be interested in taking an active role in the congress and presenting some contributions.
The invited people will be informed of the nine subject areas (see below) and asked to submit the abstract of the contribution relevant to one of the areas or indicate an innovative subject for the congress creative groups.
Each member of the International Scientific/Organizing Committee will later review the material received from people located in their geographical area, and select up to ten (10) contributions for each of the nine subject areas.
The Joint (SIPT and Institute) Scientific committee will then carry out the final selection of the contributions (arranged in talks, workshops, creative groups etc.), paying particular attention to the ninth subject area: Psychosynthesis and … space for the New.
We are deeply convinced that the future of Psychosynthesis will be heralded by innovative and original contributions.
The subject areas chosen for the Congress and the creative groups are:
- Psychosynthesis and cultures
- New developments in psychosynthetic therapy
- Psychosynthesis and transformed sexuality in the post-modern era
- Physiology and pathology of life cycles
- The new media: personal and social transformations
- Psychosynthesis and politics
- Psychosynthesis and economics
- Psychosynthesis and the creation of new spaces for humanity: re-thinking urban, individual and collective spaces in a renewed ecology of living
- Psychosynthesis and … “a space open to the new”
