SUMMARY:Wayward Angel - Manu Bazzano - TBC
DESCRIPTION:WAYWARD ANGEL\nA talk/performance by Manu Bazzano\nTHIS  EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN-PERSON \n \nWhat does it mean to redeem the (individual and collective) past? Do catastrophe and redemption go hand in hand? What does it mean to say yes to the future? In seeking happiness\, we often want repetition\, grasping the evanescent moment of the “not yet” and the unique… \nIn his 9th Thesis of History\, written after his release from the internment camp in France and just before his suicide\, Walter Benjamin wrote: A Klee painting … shows an angel looking … about to move away from something he is contemplating … This is … the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events\, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. … The angel would like to stay\, awaken the dead\, and mend what has been broken. But a storm is blowing … It caught in his wings with such a force that the angel can no longer close them. The storm … drives him into the future to which his back is turned\, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward \nInspired by Walter Benjamin’s 9th Thesis of History\, this talk/performance will address some of these questions through movement\, song\, and speech. Followed by conversation and discussion. \n \nDr Manu Bazzano is an author\, psychotherapist/supervisor\, and a student of Zen and Butoh. \nHis latest book is Re-Visioning Existential Therapy (Ed) (Routledge\, 2020) \nHis forthcoming book\, Subversion and Desire (Routledge)\, will come out in October 2022. \nwww.manubazzano.com \n  \nA 2 hours Certificate of attendance will be sent to participants. \nPlease bring your email confirming your ticket purchase in order to access the theatre. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Reading Kierkegaard Beyond Scholarliness and Scienticism - Devang Vaidya - April 8th @ 4 pm- 6 pm UK Time ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Reading Kierkegaard Beyond Scholarliness and Scienticism\nApril 8th 4pm-6pm UK Time on Zoom \nSeminar II – Kierkegaard and Indirect Communication  \nPresented by Devang Vaidya\n \n  \nMaking Kierkegaard relevant to existential therapy entails a firm understanding of the concept of indirect communication and its place in his authorship. In this seminar\, I will address three fundamental errors commonly made in approaching Kierkegaard’s writings when indirect communication is not given due consideration. \nThe first of these errors is simply ignoring Kierkegaard’s specific remarks on the subject. It is astonishing how common this error is amongst therapists of different schools who refer to Kierkegaard as an influence. The other errors result from misinterpreting the concept of indirect communication in one of two ways: a) Taking indirection to mean a rhetorical ploy to be used with someone who ‘can’t handle the truth’ directly; or b) as mannerisms of speech and styles of articulating knowledge. Although many therapists find such linguistic devices to be useful\, these do not adequately reflect the communicative aim at the heart of Kierkegaard’s works. \nThe key point here is that the concept of indirect communication is critical for bridging Kierkegaard’s philosophical thought with the practice of a distinctive form of existential therapy. I propose that a proper grasp of this concept is the basis of an essential ethos for all therapists who wish to stand apart from the medical model. It avoids all the trappings of abstract constructs and dense scholarliness\, and preserves the vital spontaneity in the encounter between therapist and client. \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Reading Kierkegaard Beyond Scholarliness and Scienticism - Devang Vaidya - February 25th @ 4 pm - 6 pm GMT - ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:Reading Kierkegaard Beyond Scholarliness and Scienticism\nPresented by Devang Vaidya\n \nThe Present Age of Sickness unto Death  \n‘The present age is the age of despair’\, wrote Kierkegaard in 1836 at the age of twenty-two. The theme of despair at collective and individual levels never strayed far from his thought\, as is evident from his illustrious writing career. Kierkegaard saw despair as a ‘sickness unto death’ – a universal affliction of self-estrangement that is rooted in one’s own historical era. For Kierkegaard\, despair is also a precondition for an individual’s higher ethical and spiritual development.  Today’s seminar focuses on one of Kierkegaard’s less renowned texts\, The Present Age. Although a critique of modernity in his time\, this text succeeds also in illuminating the socio-cultural processes of levelling and abstraction in our present age. These processes refer to the crises of values whereby the qualitative distinctions in various spheres of life are flattened out or erased. Today’s discussion will acknowledge how one form of this crises has crept into many therapy rooms under the sage warrant of evidence-based practice. Underpinned by the ‘common factors’ principle\, ironically termed as the ‘dodo bird verdict’\, therapy is increasingly perceived as a generic product sold under different brands. In contrast\, Kierkegaard’s thought can help to reset the distinctive aim of existential therapy. This involves shifting the emphasis away from the objectivity of diagnoses and treatments\, measurable goals and outcomes\, towards growing the subjective capacity for relating to one’s existence as a task of freedom\, and for grounding oneself in the ineluctable vulnerability of our shared human condition. \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date. \nSEA members enjoy a 25% discount at checkout. \nA 2-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants. \nIf you think you have a new and interesting topic to share with us and would like to be our next speaker please don’t hesitate to contact our events organiser on events@existentialanalysis.org.uk.

SUMMARY:DIALOGUES on MADNESS and WISDOM.  8th February\, 7-9pm UK time on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:DIALOGUES on MADNESS and WISDOM.  \nIn Conversation with R.D. Laing.\nR.D. Laing & Vincenzo Caretti.  Edited by Miles Groth and Danilo Serra. \n      NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON \n  \nYou are invited to meet the authors of the forthcoming \nSEA Dialogue no. 4.\n  \n  \nAfter more than forty years\, Vincenzo Caretti’s account of conversations with the Scottish psychiatrist\, R.D. Laing\, has finally been translated from Italian into English. Earlier translations in French\, German and Dutch have been out of print for quite a while. For that reason\, this English translation is of special importance. It was edited by Miles Groth\, the daseinsanalyst and existential analyst living in New York. \nFor many years now a psychoanalyst\, the probing questions of Caretti\, who was then a young therapist in training only in his early 20s but welcomed by Laing for a week of discussions\, is as fresh and insightful now as it was when first published in 1979. The translation by Danilo Serra\, a brilliant young Italian scholar in philosophy and the humanities\, is superb and brings to life the wit and subtlety of the famous radical psychotherapist and author of now classic works of social phenomenology on the family and schizophrenia. This year marks the 95th anniversary of the birth of Laing. \nThe topics of the conversations range from the Bible to Zen\, Freud and Jung\, the fate of the family and schizophrenia\, language\, silence and time\, and the place of young people and women in the rapidly changing world ushered in  by the Sixties. Their final conversation is characterized by Caretti as “a profession of faith” on the part of Laing. We have in these dialogues an illuminating portrait of the many sides of R.D. Laing the man\, the thinker\, and the therapist. \n Vincenzo Caretti (1953)\, is psychoanalyst and professor of Dynamic Psychology and Psychotherapy at the Department of Human Science of the LUMSA University of Rome. His research fields cover the traumatic experiences in developmental age\, the onset of the antisocial/psychopathic personality disorder\, the factors of change in psychotherapy of self regulation. \n Miles Groth\, PhD\, is full Professor (Emeritus) in the Department of Psychology at Wagner College\, New York. He is co-founder with Tamás Fazekas and President of the American Daseinsanalytic Institute (2021). Dr. Groth has been in private practice as a daseinsanalyst since 1985. He is the author of seven books and many articles on psychotherapy and Continental philosophy. He has lectured residents in psychiatry on integrating psychodynamic psychotherapy with traditional in-patient treatment. \n Danilo Serra ( 1991)\, PhD\, is the author of several books on topical philosophical issues and numerous articles in philosophy journals. Dr. Serra carries out research in the areas of Heideggerian Philosophy\, Poetic Phenomenology and Landscape Aesthetics. He is a member of the American Daseinsanalytic Institute (ADI). \n

SUMMARY:The Language Continuum. Haran Rasalingam. January 18th 7-9pm. ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:The Language Continuum: language\, dialects\, status and stigma.\nLanguage changes through time\, space and context. It is an indicator of belonging and exclusion\, advantage or disadvantage. More than simply a means of information transfer\, language is a complex signifier of identity. We care about our language\, we have opinions about correct and incorrect language\, polite or offensive language\, “appropriate” language. This presentation will look at the wonder of language variety\, celebrate its diversity and explode a few myths along the way. \n \nHaran Rasalingam ( he | him | his)  is an existential psychotherapist and coach. His academic and professional career has spanned Psychology and Technology\, but also Language and Linguistics – a lifelong passion of his which has led to an insatiable appetite to delve deep into languages far and wide as well as the science and philosophy of language including sociolinguistics\, psycholinguistics\, NLP\, the language of influence and\, as Wittgenstein would say\, language bewitchment. \nThis is an online event\, on Zoom. A link will be sent to attendees one day before the date. \nA 2 hours Certificate of Attendance will be provided. The event will be partially recorded. \n

SUMMARY:The Tortured Tribe Within. Dr. Natalie Fraser. 6th December 7-9pm Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Tortured Tribe Within: \nExistential Explorations of The Aftermath of Trauma.\n  \nWhat is the biggest pain you’ve been through\, and why does it still hurt today? \nIn this talk Natalie shares the discoveries from her latest research\, providing new insights into how and why the aftermath of trauma can be more painful than the traumatic event itself. \nAs a human it is inevitable that we will encounter traumatic events either first-hand or vicariously. As a psychological practitioner\, frequently so. What we are exposed to in the aftermath paves the way to a journey of healing or torture. In a world of uncertainty and Others\, having an awareness of what does and doesn’t feel right within us is fundamental. But how do we gain awareness of these invisible messages within? \nCommon discourse speaks about the ‘inner critic’ and ‘overthinker’ but who else contributes to our daily inner-dialogical worlds? \nAre you ready to meet your private inner tribe\, and invite a deeper connection with yourself? \n  \n \nDr Natalie Fraser is a pluralistic Existential Psychologist and researcher specialising in trauma\, identity\, and private inner worlds. \nNatalie is the founder of Existential Offerings (www.existentialofferings.com)\, an ever-evolving project aspiring to make philosophical ideas about human life\, hope\, and suffering more accessible to people worldwide from all backgrounds. In 2021 she launched The Global Existential Summit (www.existentialsummit.com) bringing 25 world leading existential thinkers together for the first time in a FREE fully-online summit. \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date. \nA 2 hours Certificate of Attendance will be sent to participants. The event will be partially recorded. \nSEA Members get 25% discount.

DESCRIPTION:This year’s Conference topic has been brewing for me for some time.  I have been moved by my own experiences of clients feeling it is simply not possible for “you to understand what I’ve been through!”  And I have also felt encouraged and challenged by the feedback from our very first Census\, that now is the time. \nThe response from people wishing to present has been overwhelming.  We have incredibly creative and thought-provoking presentations and workshops covering a diverse range of topics from: \nAlix Velasco ~ Chris Goto-Jones ~ Cristalle Hayes ~ Devang Vaidya ~ Dida Mitchell & Jyoti Nanda ~ Elv Moody ~ Haran Rasalingam & Maria Galani ~ Juli Jolly ~ Leanne Prosvic ~ Manu Bazzano ~ Marc Boaz ~ Marium Akhund ~ Niki D ~ Paola Pomponi & Serena Fianco ~ Rafał Miętkiewicz ~ Stella Duffy & Chris Cleave \nSpeaking to the things that make us all different.  The struggles both therapist and client encounter when the distance between us and our experience feels immense.  The assumptions we make of each other based on the lives we are living.  And the incredible capacity for change\, enlightenment\, and compassion that our differences can bring about. \nWhile there is a universality to our shared humanity\, the human experience is vast and the lenses through which we each experience ourselves myriad. \nNietzsche wrote\, “… Everybody wants the same\, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.”  True?  But perhaps there is an important counterpoint to note\, that “Freedom means nothing\, unless it means the freedom to be different” (Rubin) \nWe do hope you’ll join us in challenging the status quo.\nShould you have any questions\, please do reach out to me with any questions: theSEAconference@gmail.com and I look forward seeing you on the day. \nTeresa.

SUMMARY:The Renaissance of Daseinsanalysis. Miles Groth\, Tamás Fazekas\, Kyle Glover.  Tuesday October 19th 7pm-9pm
DESCRIPTION:Tamás Fazekas\, MD\, PhD (Vienna)\, and Miles Groth\, PhD (New York)\, have completed the third in the SEA Dialogues series on existential analysis. They will preview the book in this online meeting. “The Renaissance of Daseinsanalysis. What Does ‘Existential’ Really Mean?”\, edited by Kyle Glover\, is a series of 25 exchanges of letters during 2020\, the first COVID year. As such they are a testament to the optimism of the contributors and record a reaction to those so uncertain times that remained positive. The current third phase of interest in Martin Heidegger’s contribution to psychotherapy that these dialogues reflect eventuated in the formation of the American Daseinsanalytic Institute in August 2021. \nThe online presentation will begin with brief statements by each of the authors on his own way to the work of Medard Boss and the constitution of the first daseinsanalytic institute in Zurich in 1980. The bulk of the session\, however\, will be devoted to Q&A on themes including the history of Daseinsanalysis\, its current and future practical challenges\, and its differences from psychoanalysis and the many forms of existential practice. Dr Fazekas is a pediatrician and daseinsanalyst who founded the Hungarian Daseinsanalytic Institute. With beginnings in orthodox psychoanalysis\, Dr Groth has been in practice as a daseinsanalyst since the mid-1980s. \nThe presenters are especially interested in conveying their perception of what this current renaissance of interest in Daseinsanalysis means to young therapists who have become disenchanted with the medical model that pervades much of professional practice in psychiatry\, clinical psychology\, counseling and even existential analysis. Expect a serious but lighthearted evening of exchange of ideas\, focusing on practice rather than on theory. \n   Miles Groth\, PhD\, is full Professor (Emeritus) in the Department of Psychology at Wagner College\, New York. He is co-founder with Tamás Fazekas and President of the American Daseinsanalytic Institute (2021). Dr. Groth has been in private practice as a daseinsanalyst since 1985. He is the author of seven books and many articles on psychotherapy and Continental philosophy. He has lectured residents in psychiatry on integrating psychodynamic psychotherapy with traditional in-patient treatment. \n  \n   Tamás Fazekas MD\, PhD\, has studied medicine\, philosophy and anthropology in Vienna\, where he also finished his training in daseinsanalysis. Currently he is working in private practice as a pediatrician and psychotherapist\, teaching both at various universities. He has published several books on psychotherapy\, founded the Hungarian Daseinsanalytic Society\, and co-founded the American Daseinsanalytic Institute. \n  \n   Kyle Glover (editor) is currently a doctoral student in clinical psychology in San Diego\, California. He is secretary and treasurer of the newly formed American Daseinsanalytic Institute (ADI). He worked for many years in New York City within the mental illness care system in varying roles. Kyle is currently employed in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. With a formal education in the humanities\, he is interested in the application of phenomenology to therapy. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Politics of Experience: existential anxiety.  Hugh Knopf.  18th May 7pm-9pm.
DESCRIPTION:In ‘The Divided Self’ R.D. Laing describes an ‘ontologically secure’ individual as experiencing her/ his ‘being’ in ‘ordinary circumstances’ as: \n“..real\, alive\, whole; as differentiated from the rest of the world… ..that his identity and autonomy are never in question; as a continuum in time; as having inner consistency\, substantiality and worth…” (p.41\, The Divided Self) \nR.D. Laing describes individuals for whom ‘the ordinary circumstances of life’ “…do not afford a perpetual threat to one’s own existence..” (ibid: p.42) as ontolologically secure. Those who do not have this ‘basic threshold of ontological security’ are at risk of psychosis and what he describes as: ‘engulfment’\, ‘implosion’\, ‘petrification and depersonalisation’ (ibid: see pages 43-61). \nWhile some measure of ‘security’ or ‘identity’ is necessary day to day\, life being contingent and subject to ‘extraordinary circumstances’ none of us\, I suggest\, have the ‘ontologically secure’ life described above. It would almost certainly be terribly dull at the very least! \nFor the R.D. Laing of ‘The Divided Self’ our relatedness to others is an aspect of our being that can be used for therapeutic ends. Drawing further references from Laing\, from J.P. Sartre and from personal and clinical experience (and with playful exercises) the workshop aims to open conversation on relatedness alongside what Laing describes as crucial to the existential therapeutic project\, the tragic paradox of our separation from others. \n  \n \nHugh Knopf. \nThis event will take place on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Natalie Lancer - ‘Existential growth and The Eight Tensions Framework: navigating everyday challenges as students of life’ - 22nd of April at 07:00 pm to 9 pm.
DESCRIPTION:Dr Natalie Lancer\, PhD (Lond)\, MA (Oxon)\, PGCE\, MA (Lond)\, Dip Psych (Open)\nExistential growth and The Eight Tensions Framework: navigating everyday challenges as students of life.\n22nd April\, 7pm-9pm on Zoom.\n  \nIn this talk\, Natalie shares her Eight Tensions Framework – the set of existential quandaries originally formulated regarding university students\, but applicable to a much wider range of clients in psychotherapeutic and coaching settings. This can be explained in terms of us all being ‘students of life’\, making deliberate decisions and reflecting on these\, which is her interpretation of the nub of existential philosophy. In her talk\, she will draw on a range of existential philosophers\, including Frankl\, May\, Buber\, Van Deurzen\, Ortega y Gasset\, Buber and Schneider. \nShe will demonstrate how to apply the easy-to-use format of these tensions\, which can be shared in diagrammatic form and\, if desired\, as a set of reflective exercises for the client to complete. She will also propose a reformulated definition of ‘growth’ from an existential perspective. Natalie will explain why this definition is useful to share with clients and how it can be utilised within the Eight Tensions Framework. \n  \n \nNatalie is an existential coach and a member of the Association for Coaching. She is a Master’s and PhD supervisor at the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling and the University of East London. She is the Secretary of the British Psychological Society’s Special Group in Coaching Psychology. She started her own coaching practice (www.natalielancer.com) in 2010\, specialising in career coaching for young adults\, drawing on her 11 years in various roles within schools\, such as Assistant Head and Director of Higher Education. She co-authored a book on Coaching Techniques – Lancer\, N.\, Clutterbuck\, D. and Megginson\, D. (2016). Techniques for Coaching and Mentoring (2nd edn). Oxford: Routledge. Natalie completed her doctorate in Psychology at Birkbeck College\, University of London. Her doctoral work culminated in formulating The Eight Tensions Framework which is a set of existential quandaries. She now coaches a wide range of students\, from A-level to PhD\, using the Eight Tensions Framework. \nThis event will take place on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date. \nSEA members enjoy a 25% discount at checkout. \nA 2-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants. \nIf you think you have a new and interesting topic to share with us and would like to be our next speaker please don’t hesitate to contact our events organiser on events@existentialanalysis.org.uk. \n

SUMMARY:My Being in Time - How My Past Lives Reveal Who I Still Am - DIANA MITCHELL -17th of March 2021 @ 11 am to 1 pm.
DESCRIPTION:  \nMy Being in Time\nHow my past lives reveal who I still am \n \nDiana Mitchell\nTherapist\, Supervisor and Mediator\n\n  \nExistential thinking tells us that we are not fixed selves – we are who we are in relation to our context and to others. We also believe that our past does not cause us to be who we are. It is our unique response to our past that we carry with us in the present. It has been said that our present co-creates our past. But in what way does our past also co-create our present? \nHow do I reconcile my experience that part of me remains fixed and unchanging while change is happening to me and my world all the time? \nI hope to show how my attitude to life is graphically re-expressed on many levels throughout my life. \nWhat does your past way of being tell you about who you are\, and who you think you are today? \nWhen you look back\, what are the qualities that served and still serve you well in life? \nMy workshop is based loosely on my SEA Conference presentation. \nI work as a therapist\, supervisor and mediator. \n\n\n\n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date. \nSEA members enjoy a 25% discount at checkout. \nA 2-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants. \nIf you think you have a new and interesting topic to share with us and would like to be our next speaker please don’t hesitate to contact our events organiser on events@existentialanalysis.org.uk.

SUMMARY:Building Bridges Between Coaching and Psychotherapy - YANNICK JACOB - February 9th @ 6 pm to 8 pm.
DESCRIPTION:Building Bridges Between Coaching and Psychotherapy\nSpeaker: Yannick Jacob\nMany counsellors\, psychotherapists and analysts are critical towards the coaching profession\, and\n(while arguably less so) vice versa. And while there are important ethical concerns about life coaches\noverstepping lines\, their limited training as well as a number of other issues\, our clients have a lot to\ngain from practitioners engaging in collaborative dialogue about the potential meeting points\,\nparallels and differences in the way that we approach our work. Our aim for this session is to\nilluminate the range of what coaching may be based on various definitions from literature\, the\nspectrum of coaching approaches and an insight into the coaching industry\, and in doing so explore\nhow coaches and therapists may build bridges in the interest of our clients’ wellbeing. In the process\nwe’ll discuss the potential value of integrative approaches to helping-by-talking and briefly introduce\nthe concept of positive existentialism (an integration of Positive Psychology and Existentialism). \nYannick Jacob is an Existential Coach (MA)\, Positive Psychologist (MSc)\, Coach Trainer & Supervisor (DIP) and Mediator (SPCP Dispute Resolution). He’s the Program Director of the the Accredited Certificate in Integrative Coaching at the School of Positive Transformation\, for which he’s gathered many of the world’s most influential coaches\, and he’s the former Programme Leader of the MSc Coaching Psychology at the University of East London. \nYannick is part of the teaching faculties at The School of Life\, Animas Centre for Coaching and the International Centre for Coaching Supervision.

SUMMARY:2020 Conference - "This is not what I had planned"
DESCRIPTION:This year’s conference is not what I had originally planned\, I actually had a very different topic in mind; but then again\, so much of my life hasn’t gone according to plan\, so here we are!  This year we invite you to join us in what will be a very different\, but still highly interactive conference experience. \n\n\nWe have a wonderful line-up of speakers and workshop presenters\, bringing with them a wealth of skills\, expertise and life experiences impacted by events that weren’t part of their plan.   Join us as they discuss the changes foisted upon them\, reflect on where they stand with this in the present\, and how these unplanned events have shaped who they are\, and how they practice. \n\nZoe Gelis ~ Tabitha Draper ~ Rosemary Lodge ~ Rafał Miętkiewicz ~ Paul Silver-Myer ~ Maria Galani ~ Magdalen Cheng ~ John Hills ~ Glenn Nicholls ~ Diana Mitchell ~ Devang Vaidya ~ Damien Stewart ~ Chris Goto-Jones… and more \nAccording to Darwin’s Origin of Species\, it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives\, nor is it the strongest.  The species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself. \n2020 has thrown many of us off track.  For some\, this year has been truly disastrous\, while others have found a sense of purpose or redirection that may never have otherwise materialised. \nWithin my own practice\, I have noted an increase in a lack of ‘at homeness’ in some of my clients; what John Koenig beautifully coins as Monachopsis: “the subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place\, as maladapted to your surroundings as a seal on a bench… unable to recognise the ambient roar of your intended habitat\, in which you’d be fluidly\, brilliantly\, effortlessly at home.”  In others\, I’ve seen an increase in decisiveness\, fearlessness and determination\, this has been especially true of my trauma and abuse clients. \nHowever\, a global pandemic isn’t typically the thing that throws a spanner in the works of life…   Spanners come in all shapes and sizes\, and in the day to day trenches of life we are impacted by myriad events; death\, divorce\, disaster\, but also new life\, love and opportunity.  We move countries\, we return to forgotten passions\, we become unwell or infirm\, we get promoted\, we let get of the things that are causing us pain\, and we continue to fight for change\, real\, meaningful\, lasting\, change.  Things literally get blown-up or washed out to sea\, we lose money\, and status\, and sometimes we lose our identity\, ourselves… and sometimes\, we find it all anew.  We set out on one path\, and now\, somehow\, find ourselves upon another. \n \n

SUMMARY:SYMPOSIUM – 30th of October 2020 @ 7 pm to 9 pm – Free Event.
DESCRIPTION:October 30 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm Free event \n\n\n\n\nCOVID-19 Shall Not Stop Us\n \nJoin our Zoom Symposium for a get together to discuss different ideas on topics that are of equal interest and liking. Get yourself a drink\, a meal or your favourite snack\, sit comfortably and simply show up. \nTitle: Money… Money… Money… \nTopic: A discussion centred on the meaning of money in the therapeutic encounter. \nIt is perhaps a therapeutic cliche that therapists are more willing to speak about their clients’ darkest trauma and deepest sexual desires than they are about money.  What makes this topic taboo\, and what are the implications of this?  What does money represent in therapy\, and how are we to be with it?  This discussion is proposed at a time where demand for low-cost or free therapy is on the rise\, as lock-down increases the need for mental health provision amongst those who are least able to afford it.   \n  \n\nPlease register your attendance. \nThis event will take place on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date. \nA 2-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants.

SUMMARY:Echoism and the echositic-narcissistic complex (ENC). Donna Christina Savery. Sep 15th 7:30pm-9:30pm.
DESCRIPTION:Echoism and the echositic-narcissistic complex (ENC)\nDonna Christina Savery\n\nSep 15th @ 7:30pm-9:30pm on Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\nDonna Christina Savery is an existential therapist and daseinsanalyst of the Zurich seminar having studied with Alice Holzhey Kunz. She works in private practice in the UK and teaches and supervises internationally. \nFollowing her initial seminar in April this year on Echoism\, in which she introduced the key ideas in her book\, Echoism: The silenced response to narcissism\, Donna returns to present a more detailed exploration into Echoism and in particular the echoistic-narcissistic complex (ENC). \nDrawing upon over ten years of research\, in which she has specialised in working with both Echoistic and Narciasistic clients\, she uses a combination of clinical examples\, existential and psychoanalytic ideas and the daseinsanalytic method to bring a deep understanding to the ways in which narcissists and echoists relate and are drawn to one another. Her research shows that each can play an active role\, however unconsciously\, in drawing out the corresponding character traits in others and indeed in the therapist. She underpins her observations with key theoretical ideas from Sartre on Being and The Look. \nDonna will discuss how she works with trainees and therapists in supervision\, to recognise their own echoistic and narcissistic tendencies and to be aware of how these may present in the work\, and how to work with them in a way that is of benefit to clients who are susceptible to these very challenging issues in themselves and in their relationship dynamics with others. \nThe session will be 2 hours and will include a 30 minute discussion. \nIt is not necessary to have read the book to attend\, but reading chapters 8 and 9 beforehand will certainly enhance the discussion.. Click here to see Donna’s book : ECHOISM \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom.  A link will be sent prior to the date. \nA 2-hour CPD Certificate of Attendance will be sent to participants.

SUMMARY:A Sightless World - Readdressing Sight-Loss with Some Merleau-Ponty Ideas - PAULO RIBEIRO - 28th of July 2020 @ 6 pm to 8 pm.
DESCRIPTION:A Sightless World – Readdressing Sight-Loss with Some Merleau-Ponty Ideas\nPaulo Ribeiro \nPaulo is an existential psychotherapist currently working for Headstrong Counselling\, an extremely busy low-cost therapy service in London\, where he sees clients with complex presentations\, mostly personality disorders\, major depression and anxiety and gender identity. Before that\, Paulo worked for the RNIB – Royal National Institute for Blind People and for Hammersmith and Fulham Mind. \nPaulo holds a BA in Social Communication\, a Master’s in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy and he is at present finishing an advanced diploma in Existential psychotherapy at Regent’s School of Psychology and Psychotherapy. \nBlindness and psychotherapy have been present in Paulo’s life for a few years. Paulo lost his sight six years ago\, and in the process of his rehabilitation\, and through his therapeutic work\, Paulo discovered that embodiment speaks in many ways in a therapeutic encounter. \nIn this talk\, Paulo will be sharing a bit of his life and the process of his rehabilitation as a sightless psychotherapist and how he found out\, through the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty\, that our body speaks in many ways where vision\, and visibility\, in  their absence\, open a world of new possibilities to a being-in-the-world. He will emphasise the process of his rehabilitation and re-engagement with the world through some Maurice Merleau-Ponty ideas such as body intentionality and the concepts of concrete and abstract movements. \nPaulo believes that our current situation with the Corona virus\, where the embodied aspect of therapy has transitioned from body encounter to digital encounter\, mirror\, to some extent\, a phenomenon present between client and therapist when technology replaces physicality – i.e. phone sessions\, online sessions. \nAt the RNIB\, Paulo counselled individuals  affected by sight-loss over the phone. He will be sharing his experience during this time. \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date. \nA 2-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants.

SUMMARY:The Irony of Race Relations: An Experiential Seminar on The Contemporary Discourse on Race from an Existential Perspective - DEVANG VAIDYA - 20th of July 2020 @ 11 am to 4 pm
DESCRIPTION:The Irony of Race Relations: An Experiential Seminar on The Contemporary Discourse on Race from an Existential Perspective\n \nDevang Vaidya \nDevang Vaidya is a person-centred existential therapist based in London. His research focuses on Kierkegaard studies for tracing the existential foundations of person-centred therapy. Other interests lie at the intersection of therapy with philosophy\, arts\, psychoanalysis\, and critical social theory. \nThinking about race is hard. Talking\, harder. In trying to express a point of view\, one stumbles into saying something controversial. It is ironic when this occurs\, but sometimes the irony is lost and offence is caused. Devang\, therefore\, considered four alternatives for the title of his seminar. Each of these relates to prevailing forms of irony in society that are relevant to race: the irony of equality ethics\, the irony of diversity ethics\, the irony of political discourse\, and the irony of social identity. These are general forms of what he refers to as the category of ‘irony of public life’. By irony he means any state of affairs that verges on contradicting its meaningfulness. \nIn contrast to the ‘irony of public life’\, Devang draws upon contemporary Kierkegaardian scholarship to propose a different category: existential irony. He suggest existential irony as a kind of capability or an act rather than a state of affairs. It is a kind of practice that sits between meditation\, dreaming\, art\, ethics\, and encounter therapy. It aims to generate first-person accounts (in contrast to abstract social critiques) of moments of uncanniness in our life. In these moments\, the borders of our practical context are allowed to fall apart. As our assertions of knowledge begin to dissolve\, our individual and collective complicity is revealed in perpetuating ignorance and alienation in relation to ourselves and each other. \nExistential irony involves cultivating perceptual openness\, building emotional stamina\, and welcoming moments of our own de-centering. It can be one way to catch our selves red-handed\, without condemning or condoning\, in acts of what Sartre might call ‘bad faith’\, Heidegger ‘inauthenticity’\, Nietzsche ‘ressentiment’\, and Kierkegaard ‘spiritlessness’. Encountering this fallibility is not easy. The failure rate is high. But it may eventually lead to a kind of waking up that comes with giving up the pretense of ‘woke posturing’\, virtue-signalling\, and political correctness that we have occasionally witnessed after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis. \nRather than stifle or evacuate our vital cathartic impulses\, existential irony can include these to show us possibilities of directly engaging with the struggle for recognition of disenfranchised communities\, and our collective emancipation from the clutches of hyper-capitalism and neoliberalism. \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date. \nA 4-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants.

SUMMARY:A Phenomenological Reflection Upon the Benefits of Kum Nye Movement within an Embodied Approach to Existential Psychotherapy - JASON UPTON - 25th of June @ 10 am - 12 pm
DESCRIPTION:A Phenomenological Reflection Upon the Benefits of Kum Nye Movement within an Embodied Approach to Existential Psychotherapy\n \nJason Upton is a UKCP registered existential psychotherapist and dance movement therapist with many years’ experience in the fields of trauma\, sexual abuse and sexual offending. He currently lectures at Regent’s University and sees clients in private practice. Jason has practised Kum Nye and other Tibetan movement practices for over 17 years. He is also doing a PhD at SOAS which takes a phenomenological perspective on early Tibetan Buddhist practices which involve the body and sense perception. \n  \nI will look at the therapeutic effects of a Tibetan movement practice called Kum Nye. Having experienced the tremendous benefits of Kum Nye during my own recovery from trauma\, I have begun to explore the integration of Kum Nye movement with my client work. During the seminar\, I will give an introduction to Kum Nye and shows videos of some of the movements. I will offer my reflection upon how clinical issues such as trauma and depression may affect one’s embodied way of being-in-the-world through an application of Merleau-Ponty’s concept of the body schema. Drawing upon personal experience and clinical material\, I propose that Kum Nye movement can help overcome sedimented habits in the body schema and allow for a return to an expressive sense of meaning-making in and through the body. I will discuss my experience of how such an embodied approach can be integrated into therapy sessions with clients. \nThe seminar will include an opportunity to experience a few Kum Nye movements\, so I would encourage participants to find an appropriate space where they can stand and move their arms freely. The movements will be simple and combined with slow and fast breathing. Most people should be able to perform them at a level comfortable for their ability. \nThis event will take place on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date. \nA 2-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants

SUMMARY:SYMPOSIUM : Existential Analysis and Racism - Free event.
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 Shall Not Stop Us\n \nJoin our Zoom Symposium for a get together to discuss different ideas on topics that are of equal interest and liking. Get yourself a drink\, a meal or your favourite snack\, sit comfortably and simply show up. \nTitle: Existential Analysis and Racism\n\nIf psychotherapy is anything\, it is ethical.  Both therapist and client are engaged in the question “how am I to live?”\, and perhaps more particularly\, “how am I to live in the face of you?“.  Recent events in the US and UK have foregrounded the issue of racism\, particularly as it relates to the experience of being black in a post-colonial Western world.  As existential psychotherapists\, inheritors of a tradition that is dominated by the thinking of white\, Western men\, what is our response to be?  This symposium will provide a forum to begin exploring this question.\n\n\nHosted by Alexander Morriss\, a UKCP accredited existential psychotherapist in private practice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is a FREE event.  Please register your attendance. \nThis event will take place on Zoom.

SUMMARY:'Covid-19 and the financial impact on my therapy practice' - PAUL SILVER-MYER - 14th of June @ 11 am - 1 pm
DESCRIPTION:‘Covid-19 and the financial impact on my therapy practice’\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThere are two crises going on – a health crisis and a financial one – and whilst it’s an anxious and upsetting time with the primary concern being the health of the nation\, nevertheless many self-employed therapists have found their income has been [severely] affected. This session will look at your rights as a self-employed person\, what financial support is available to you and how your business accounts and relationship with HMRC might be affected. There will be ample time for Questions and Answers and additionally\, if you would prefer to speak privately to Paul about your personal financial affairs then he will be happy to make himself available at the end of the session. \n\n\nPaul Silver-Myer is both an accountant and a UKCP registered existential psychotherapist. Some years back he realised that half of his accountancy practice was about numbers\, but the other half was about the people behind those numbers yet 99% of his accountancy training was only about the former. So he signed up for a foundation course in counselling and the rest\, as they say\, is history. \nIn addition to a small therapy practice he also prepares tax returns for over 100 therapists and therapy organisations\, being in the fortunate position of clearly understanding the nature of being in business as a counsellor or therapist.  \n\n  \nThis event will be held on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date.  \nA 2-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants
