The Practice of I and Thou: Love and Power in relations
Lecture, discussion
Martin Buber says, “All actual life is encounter.”
Mark Horowitz asks, “What is required in order to truly ‘meet’ another?”
Buckminster Fuller says, “What I am trying to do is to discover why God included humans in the Universe.”
Mark Horowitz says, “Sounds like a great question to me!”
Buber also said, “Persons appear by entering into relation to other persons. . . For as soon as we touch a Thou, we are touched by a breath of eternal life.”
Horowitz also asks, “What the *&!@!*++! does this mean?!
This conference is about relationship and is a safe place to experiment with those relational behaviors that are that are new to us or difficult for us. Mark will particularly call our attention to the qualities of Love and Power and invite us to experiment with and to practice these qualities with the people we ‘meet’ for the duration of the conference.

Process of Psychosynthesis
Lecture, demonstration session, dialogue

Italian psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli is known as the author of Psychosynthesis, a theory and related practices whose purpose is to include and integrate the “Higher Self” with other dimensions of human experience. But he also spoke about psychosynthesis as a natural process of maturation, integration, and synthesis that happens in all people and which is in fact the process of “Life living itself more deeply and fully”. He called this second process “psychosynthesis with a small letter “p”.
In his video presentation Thomas Yeomans shares his vision of how the principles of psychosynthesis are realized in therapy. The lecture is followed by a video of a therapy session. Both the lecture and the session have subtitles in Russian. After watching the video materials the participants will be able to discuss the topic with Thomas Yeomans online by Skype.

Couple Relations –
An infrastructure for groth, development and healing wounds of the past
Workshop
On this experiential workshop we will be introduced to couple relations from an unusual aspect. We will see them as a therapeutical process. As in any therapy, also in relations there are pains, resistance and transference. As in any therapy there is a healing process.
Once recognized as such, couple relations can become the most significant experience of our adult life. We will meet these processes in the workshop through working with individuals and couples that will be formed in the group.
