Presenter: Psychotherapy Networker Symposium 2012 in Washington DC

March 22-25, 2012

At this year’s Networker Symposium, Creating a New Wisdom: The Art and Science of Optimal Well-Being, we don’t just plan to talk about this new integrative vision, we’ll help you actively live it. Not only will you hear from the field’s leading innovators, visionaries, and researchers, but in a world in which we experience so much virtually, you’ll be able to feel the synergistic energy and unpredictable possibilities of being in the immediate presence of 3,500 members of your own professional tribe.

You’ll learn what mind-body-spirit connection really feels like—during Creativity Day, as you express your urge to draw, dance, sing, write, connect with your inner Buddha; in your workshops, as you explore the art and science of therapy with some of the best teachers in the world; and during the Symposium many luncheons, dinners, receptions, and other social events, as you share a glass of wine with some of your new best friends.

None of us can afford professional isolation if we wish to advance our craft and meet the challenges of 21st-century practice. At this year’s Symposium, you’ll not only experience the support and stimulation of the field’s ultimate community of practice, but you’ll have the time of your life!

We look forward to celebrating our 35th anniversary with you amid the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C., this spring.
