International Buddhist Psychology Conference, September 2019

International Buddhist Psychology Conference 5 - 8 September 2019

International Buddhist Psychology Conference No Pearl without Grit: The psychology of suffering and awakening 5-8 September 2019, Netherlands NO PEARL WITHOUT GRIT: The psychology of suffering and awakening Buddhism and therapy are both centrally concerned with the problem of suffering  and the challenges involved in arriving at a liberation of mind and an awakening to  new possibilities. In addressing this theme we can share many perspectives,  methods and theories that seek to bring together the insights of Buddhism with  the anxieties, tragedies and opportunities of modern life. Following upon the  first two successful conferences, this meeting will be a time for learning, sharing,  reflection and building connections. The last conference included many moving moments as well as deeply informative  presentations. The balance between serious engagement and informal discussion  in this style of meeting provides a rich compost for new growth, connection and stimulation.  You will find further details in the  ITZI Conference Newsletter -  on-line here  We hope you enjoy the newsletter and are planning to attend in September. It will be much appreciated if you can pass the newsletter on to other people  in your network and let them know about ITZI.
