CONFERENCE
COMPASSION, MINDFULNESS AND BODY MEMORY IN HEALING
Body, Mind & Emotions Unity in Therapy
How to heal? What really works in therapy? Why compassion and body memory?
8 – 9 November 2024
Prague Congress Centre, Czech Republic
5 keynote speeches + panel discussion + 5 workshops
What is our conference about?
Unity of the body, mind and emotions - this will be the main theme of our conference. We will look at how our mental and very often also physical health is connected to childhood experiences, our state of mind, emotional states and traumatic memories imprinted in the implicit memory of the body. And how is this interconnectedness reflected in various psychotherapeutic approaches?
The topics above will be addressed by those most competent - psychologists and therapists with a rich life experience and practice, who have worked somatically for many years, practice compassion and mindfulness in relation to their clients and themselves, have experience with meditation, spirituality, lean on modern science, and for the purpose of their own healing journey, some of them tried psychedelics assisted therapy. They will shed light on what compassion, mindfulness and somatic-based work in psychotherapy really mean and what they look like in practice.
They will explain not only how most recent scientific findings and research are used in therapy, but also where therapy meets with spirituality, traditional wisdom of indigenous cultures or contemplative nature and practices of eastern philosophies. Because not just acceptance, safety and respect are our needs, but also spiritual transcendence and relating to something higher is one of them.
