World Psychosynthesis Day 2022

Celebrate the work of founder of Psychosynthesis, Roberto Assagioli with colleagues all over the world in this unique event. This special day focuses on the teachings of Assagioli as well as the ways in which, perhaps now more than ever, psychosynthesis can really be seen as a psychology for our times.

We celebrate the World Psychosynthesis Day that was created in 2016 in Taormina, Italy. The European Psychosynthesis Association invites you to join in to enjoy leaning, social connection, meditation and break out sessions with others in the psychosynthesis community.

Join psychosynthesis colleagues and friends around the world for this wonderful annual event to celebrate psychosynthesis. This year's theme is "The Power of Connection in Difficult Times". We are happy to announce that Anne Yeomans and Theo Dijkman will be the primary speakers, being interviewed together on this delicate and intriguing subject. The EPA is the host for this event this year.

More about the speakers:

Anne Yeomans has been a psychotherapist and group facilitator for over 50 years. She trained in Psychosynthesis in California and studied with Roberto Assagioli. They talked together about the great need for the re-honoring of the Feminine principle in a world so seriously out of balance. In the last 30 years Anne’s work has been focused on creating and facilitating women’s circles in the US, Canada, and in Russia. Anne is a poet, a social activist, and a grandmother.

Theo Dijkman is a psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice, living and working in Scotland. He came to psychosynthesis through his work with people experiencing severe and enduring mental health difficulties in the early 1990s. After graduating he was a senior faculty member of the Institute of Psychosynthesis in London for 10 years and continues to work with students completing their MA training. Since 2019 he has been researching the concepts and theories of Roberto Assagioli and Wilfred Bion as seen through a posthumanist lens.

Ulla Pfluger-Heist is a psychotherapist and group facilitator. In 1986 she founded - together with 4 colleagues - the first psychosynthesis training center in Germany: Psychosynthese Haus. She published two books on psychosynthesis, as well as numerous articles in professional books and journals.
