As we approach our fifth year of international gatherings, we can say that the experience of the September Meetings at Casa Assagioli has become a consistent opportunity in the world of international psychosynthesis, one which has provided participants with a rich and meaningful experience.
A number of things contribute to this outcome:
- the source: each year additional documents of Assagioli's archives have been made available due to the work of the Alle Fonti Group;
- the setting: Casa Assagioli, the house where Roberto Assagioli lived, worked and developed psychosynthesis, and that became the home of the Italian Institute of Psychosynthesis after his death;
- psychosynthesis friends from all over the world;
- the spirit of research and deep exchange that enlivens the time together;
- the support of the group Alle Fonti, which has been dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the archive in the last eight years;
- and Florence, good meals, ...
The next meeting will be dedicated to the theme of Co-Creating an International Community of Psychosynthesis, both because it is a strongly felt need in our wide-spread groups, and also because the work that takes place at Casa Assagioli is naturally oriented towards such a goal. Assagioli, as we know, had always thought of psychosynthesis as a useful tool to the creation of a "planetary synthesis"... an offering to the whole of humanity.
The interactions we’ve experienced as we’ve come together from different countries have been a recognition of a common belonging to the spirit and practice of psychosynthesis, a belonging that unifies us despite the diversity of approaches, organizations, experiences.
From September 17-20, 2015, in addition to the usual time for individual research in Assagioli’s archives, the Fifth International Meeting will also offer moments of sharing, reflection, exploration in groups to strengthen and support the global community of psychosynthesis. By strengthening our own sense of our global psychosynthesis community, we may be able, in turn, to carry our experience of such a community to others in our own countries and, thereby enrich their experience of a wider international community.
As, in order to do this, we feel the need to support the birth of every new initiative of psychosynthesis in the world, we offer to people who come from developing countries a discounted registration fee.
The meeting welcomes anyone with a background in Psychosynthesis, practitioners or not, and from any field or service path. Join us!
Looking forward to meeting you in Florence,
