Visual Immersion into Sacred Moments of Co-Creation
Celebrating the 24th Edition of EUROTAS, in Oxford, UK
Creative Bridges 2024–24th Eurotas Conference in Oxford organized/hosted by Alef Trust in collaboration with the British Psychological Society (Transpersonal Section) and EUROTAS
Honoring the cycles and rhythms of Nature, we send our warm greetings to all for today’s special Full Moon with a partial lunar eclipse and the emergence of this week’s Fall/Spring Equinox — a time of harvesting and birthing…
With this video, we share a short choreography of sacred moments of co-creation from the 24th EUROTAS International Conference, “Creative Bridges, Embodied Consciousness, Psyche and Soul, in Research and Practice,” organized and hosted by Alef Trust, in collaboration with the British Psychological Society, in Oxford, UK, and EUROTAS, September 4 to 8, 2024.
Profound gratitude goes to all involved in making this event happen, to all participants who co-created this gathering with us, to the diverse expertise from interdisciplinary disciplines, and the creative bridging of ancient traditions and modern science. A wisdom field of inner awareness and scientific validity emerged, guiding us towards wholeness and taking part in initiating a harmonious future together.
To nurture social change and well-being, the focus was on fostering transdisciplinary dialogues by intertwining interdisciplinary fields and perspectives on consciousness studies, integral and transpersonal paradigms, spirituality, and creativity.
As an Alef Trust Faculty, Conference Team and Track Co-Chair, member of the Board of Directors of the EUROTAS Global Transpersonal Network and the International Transpersonal Association, and Vice-President ETPA, I was in service in those roles, presented in different tracks, chaired diverse sessions, sparkled with meetings with known and new colleagues, birthing further collaborations, along with wonderful gatherings embedded in the charme of beautiful local spaces. It was an honor and joy to have been part of such a vibrant Conference Team.
Each EUROTAS Conference has its specific emphasis and unique soul rooted in the local culture of the host country and host organization. Every year, it is organized by a different host organization in another country, giving diverse cultural richness.
This year, Alef Trust, UK, hosted us at the historic Oxford University premises, surrounded by ancient lands and parks, with communities of grandmother and grandfather trees, inviting us to dive deep from modern times into ancient times, moving beyond time and space into an interconnected awareness of oneness.
There was a balance of academic, experiential, creative, and immersive diversity with integrity and rigor — with gravitas and heart. It was a well-organized, inspiring conference.
An expanded afterglow of sacred moments of shared inspiration calls for slowing down, integration into deeper layers of being, translation into everyday life, and taking full responsibility for the sustainable greater good.
Next year, the 25th EUROTAS Conference will be held in Oaxaca, Mexico, Oct 22–26, 2025, organized by Instituto Macuil — with a different unique focus and cultural immersion: Innovations and Traditions in the Arts and Sciences of Being.
