DREAMING THE FUTURE

As we move through unprecedented individual and collective pressures, our human capacity also allows us to experience joy amidst the turmoil. We can dream the future and feel, think, imagine, and even behave in different ways. Join us at this conference to examine how to go forward, applying multiple psychodynamic perspectives to what we are facing in the consulting room, in the broader world, and in ourselves – in the darkness and in the light.
