K106 Crossing the Great Divide of Otherness

More About This Keynote

"We’re living in a time of the most far-reaching and rapid change in human history,” says Jean Houston. “What we do with our lives makes the difference as to whether, as a species, as a planet even, we grow or die.” Explore with her how, as therapists, we can contribute to meeting the collective challenge of creating a culture of enhanced awareness and human possibility in a highly complex world.
