By focusing on “creative bridges” we set the aim of our conference as being the renewal of transpersonal psychology and allied disciplines. Only by re-evaluating the connections can we create an approach that is authentic and credible in contemporary context. Times have changed, and we cannot simply remain in the bubble that carried transpersonal psychology through recent decades. The EUROTAS 2024 conference will showcase what is new and vibrant—in research, in ways of practice, and in performance. Creative Bridges 2024 will be the turning point!

Bridges lie at the core of our work as transpersonalists. We bridge across cultures, across academic disciplines, between the science and practice of spirituality. We draw on ancient spiritual, mystical, and shamanic traditions, forging bridges to contemporary research in areas of psychology and the study of consciousness. Our visions include bridges to the future, that we might pass on to future generations a wiser world and wholesome ways of being in nature and in community. We build bridges between theory and practice, bringing transpersonal insights into the quest to effect social and cultural change, to cleanse societies of exclusively egocentric values and to facilitate values associated with sustainability and higher consciousness.
