Past, present, future: the ETERNAL dances in the time
The suggested path will offer the participants a space to reflect and question their relationship with the dimensions of time: past, present and future.
And the eternal? How does it resonate in us? How does it orient our life? How does it contact and embody it?
There will also be a brief moment of theoretical reinterpretation of the maps of psychosynthesis (ovoid and star) in the light of the theme of the congress.

Psychosynthesis and Transformed Sexuality in the Post-modern Era
Sexuality nowadays is being shaped by the consumer society. And besides this artificial image, a genuine sexual education is seldom offered as a process of growth and
consciousness.
From the vision of Psychosynthesis , we have integrated along many years of experience our ESCE programme learning, which runs over two years.
Our work intends to discover the subpersonalities emerged regarding sexuality, encouraging the participants to interact with them through playful exercices and creating new individual ways wIth the help of the will. It does embrace sensations, emotions, thoughts, desires, intuition & imagination.
During the process or at the end another experience of sexuality may arise, more human, global and richer.

How to get Unstuck! Three Techniques for Polarity Processing
You don’t have to look far to see polarities everywhere in our world –good vs evil, right vs wrong, black vs white, red states vs blue states, and so on, ad infinitum.
If we look within ourselves, we begin to see those same polarities being played out in our everyday lives. Some examples might be victim vs tyrant, laziness vs workaholic, caring vs apathy, win vs loss.
These polarities take root because of our limited, unconscious conditioned egos. It is surprising to note that all conditions on either side of a polarity eventually turn into their opposite given enough time! However, it is possible to find the underlying unity inherent in all pairs of opposites within us, which in turn leads to an expanded state of consciousness and increased enlightenment. This workshop will introduce three methods to process polarities that can free us from being stuck in the past and from struggling with our goals for the future.

There is not path. Through your walking, the path is being created. A workshop on radical self-acceptance
The poet Antonio Machado says to us: Traveller, there is no path. Through your walking, the path is being created.
The path is being created through our very acceptance of ourselves, in each new single breath, in our sensory and emotional on-going awareness, in each thought/image in our mind, in each new action/direction that we are taking.
The path is the process of our life unfolding at its own rhythm. The more we are tuned in with this consciousness, the more the creation process becomes our inner guidance, a living
presence at our core connecting us with the whole of Creation.
Then, we may come to this realization that every experience of the past fits in our life thread and there is no need to disown parts of ourselves. We may envision our life process as an on-going flow, such as a single brush stroke done by a master painter.
This workshop refers to Roberto Assagioli’s intuition “Psychosynthesis, for the Art and Harmony of Life”, to Maria Zambrano’s philosophy, and Carl Rogers and Eugene Gendlin’s creation of meaning. The workshop includes a demonstration of applications to clinical practice.

The Synthesis of the Heart - Another step on the Way for the Future
60 years ago Roberto Assagioli gifted the work of the Group for Creative Meditation and the Laws and Principles of the Soul to the world. The livingness of these law and principles indicate the 'pathway into the future'.
They offer another step on the Way of one's recognition of Self as part of those realms of reality where the principles of universality, synthesis and wholeness can be revealed.
From these recognitions there comes a growing awareness of the potentials inherent in a life of service. Indeed, we are participators and co-creators in a field of evolving consciousness. This wisdom is a treasury gathered experientially during daily life. In this workshop and working with the laws and principles of the heart & soul, we will explore the spiritual service of creative meditation, which enables each of us to gradually become sensitive to this 'raincloud of knowable things' which is our shared 'heart knowledge'.

The Three Stages of Imagery
Imagining is the core-function of the psyche. Every action, each new step in our development is generated by our image of it. The inner world of our imagination is the central arena within which we become who we are and where we can explore our possibilities.
There are three stages of mastery in imagery. At the first stage we get to know our images and start to realize how they influence our existence. At the second we learn how to navigate and cope with our images, resulting in development and transformation of ourselves. This is the stage where most therapeutic work and personal growth is done. Ultimately at the third stage we may realize to be oneself the very creative source of All of it, the Greater Self.
In the workshop the three stages will be illustrated by imagery material from prehistory, the middle ages, neuropsychology and 21st century-clients. The second part of the workshop will be experiential. A broad spectrum of techniques and approaches will be reviewed and put in practice.

Short term Integrative Psychosynthesis Therapy for young person (14-23 years)
The workshop will introduce the attitude, approach, structure, content and experiences in effectively working with 'psychosynthesis for young persons', an integrative model developed for this age group.
The experience with this work model, is for the young person to learn to disidentify in a more abstract and yet concrete way, create an overview of the persons current situation and integrating sub-personality work for quickly get an idea of internal conflicts and coalitions. It combines well with most cultures and ethnicities.
My experience as a psychosynthesis therapist is that also young persons easily can work with a model, the client is not fixed too much in a 1-on-1 setting and can easily integrate the tool in daily life. The experience is that most young persons need 5 to 10 sessions.

Awakening the Artist trough Body and Soul
To use our awareness in order to come in contact with ourselves, allows us a continuous awakening in consciousness. A strength of the artists mind consists in the ability to allow things and contexts to collapse totally, in order to let them rebirth themselves on a new level. This non linear process of learning, evolution and growth allows the adjustments necessary in any situation to show up or happen. It is a dynamic way to free oneself or systems from old and unsuccessful habits, patterns and approaches and helps the full potential of situations to unfold.
In this workshop we will explore the joy and power of collapse of contexts, relationships and self images in order to invite rebirth and access the full soul potential of our individual and collective mind in the creation of our future. This will include our professional, family, relationship, social and political contexts and open us to the highest visionary levels available.

Transformational Life Coaching: A Psychosynthesis Approach
Over the past decade, the emergence and rapid development of life coaching as a professional discipline has created a whole new audience of practitioners and clients ready to engage in the powerful, transformative process of psychosynthesis.
The field of coaching, with its orientation towards advanced self development, presents psychosynthesis practitioners with a broad opportunity to extend their work beyond the psychotherapy office. As psychosynthesis educator Martha Crampton noted, "The emerging profession of life coaching seems destined to play a significant role in the future, providing support for relatively healthy people to realize their full potentials.”
This workshop explores the application of psychosynthesis theory, principles and methods as they relate to the field of coaching. This includes the primacy of the will and its development, the central position of the Self as a source of power and meaning, and other relevant themes (subpersonalities, ideal models and more) that inform the work of psychosynthesis coaches.
