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. 
Don't miss it.

UPDATE 1 June 2018

EXCELLENT VENUE

We have selected an excellent venue. The conference will take place at Kontakt der Kontinenten, which was the best conference centre we looked at. I am confident that everyone will have a very good experience there. The facilities are super and it is set in attractive grounds. The location is quite central in Netherlands, convenient for international and local attenders.

EARLY BOOKING

The total price is likely to work out at approx 650 euro for the full conference including full board. We are planning to set up facilities to receive payment in euros, but at this early stage bookings can be made in sterling to the main ITZI account in UK. A deposit of £175 (=200 euro) will secure a place. The bank details are

Name of account: international Zen Therapy Institute
Name of Bank: Barclays, 62-64 Lower High Street, Watford, WD17 2BT

Swiftbic: BARCGB22
IBAN: GB39BARC20917943636283

When you make a payment, please e-mail the conference registrar at natim.luna@gmail.com to confirm your booking.

PRESENTERS

We already have quite a line up of presenters from at least ten countries ensuring that this will be a truly international event. A number of the speakers are people returning from earlier conferences, which gives evidence of the success of those events. We expect the next conference to be even better.
