All started with a conflict…
Athena, goddess of wisdom and war, and the sea god, Poseidon, were competing for possession of one of the cities of ancient Greece. The other gods decreed that the city should be awarded to the one who bestowed upon its inhabitants the most useful gift. In response, Poseidon struck the ground with his trident and brought forth a miraculous saltwater spring. Athena, putting her faith in a more practical offering, planted an olive tree beside the spring. The people found the olive a better gift, and the city was named for its winner: Athens. 

We are honored to host in Athens the 9^th European Conference of Gestalt Therapy from 6 – 9 of September 2007: "Exploring Human Conflict". Conference Center: Divani Caravel Hotel.

Since 2004 the conference became an important and vital part of our institute and our lives. Slowly, with the arrangements of time and place, a form of where, when and what started to emerge. Now we are ready to give you the lead!

In this website you will find all the important information concerning the program of the conference, registration, accommodation, pre-post conference tours and your stay in Athens.Also you will find the online registration and/or accommodation forms, as well as the abstract submission form if you are interested in sending your proposals. Please note that early registration stands for reduced registration fees.

We invite you to explore "together", as Socrates said, how "from doubt to doubt, from objection to objection one can arrive at the definition of meaning, of an idea", in different fields: psychotherapy, social and human rights, education, organizational and research.
