Events for October 20, 2025 - October 20, 2025

We do not live in space. On the contrary, the human body is the power to transform spaces into places where we more often than not unconsciously incarnate the characters in stories of which we are a part, an approach with many implications for psychotherapy and dream work.

Western assumptions regarding self tend to isolate each self such that it appears to us and can be defined as separate and distinct to other selves. Existential phenomenology proposes a view of self that is always and inevitably in relation. This interplay between “I” and “not-I” provides a very different view and understanding of self.

Clock time is a measure of the linear sense of time. Lived time, as phenomenology describes it, is a vertical spiral in which every present moment carries a creative capacity to remember the past in light of imagining a future and vice versa. This capacity is the foundation of human freedom with implications for psychotherapy.
