I will present Deep Ecology: The Enchanted Compass at the June 2019 Pari Dialogue, “Re-enchanting the World”. It will be my fourth visit to the Pari Center in Tuscany since 2006, and my first as a presenter. I feel greatly honoured, not least because of my admiration for F. David Peat and his successor as director, Shantena Augusto Sabbadini. My wife, Yuriko Sato, will also present The Sense of Wonder: Being Connected with the Enchanted World there. 

In August I will present Encountering the Anthropocene: Fear of the Unknown versus Need for Metanoia at the 21st International IAAP Congress, “Encountering the Other: Within Us, Between Us, and in the World” in Vienna.

Just a week later, in September, I will be one of (as of now) three invited presenters at the third Kaleido Retreat in Switzerland. Describing itself as a community for transdisciplinary, intergenerational and cultural exchange, Kaleido originated from the ETH’s Cortona Week which was run for ETH students between 1985 and 2017.

I am pleased to be able to travel to all three of these events by train.

Later this year I will emerge from my writing cave (and blogging hiatus) to give two presentations after my book finally goes into production with Routledge. The first, Anthropos in the Anthropocene: At the Turning Point, will be in September at the AGAP Forum in Zürich. The second, Science, Psychology and Spirituality: Facing the Anthropocene Together, will be in November at the Small Earth conference at Snape Maltings in England.

Looking ahead, my paper Encountering the Anthropocene: Fear of the Unknown versus Need for Metanoia has been accepted for presentation in August 2019 at the 21st International IAAP Congress, “Encountering the Other: Within Us, Between Us, and in the World” in Vienna. This is a major event, and a good opportunity for a book launch.

I will give only two presentations this year, as completing my book manuscript takes priority.

In July 2017 I will present Strangers to Nature: Dissociation and the Anthropocene at Being Strangers to Ourselves, a conference organised by the Finnish-Estonian Group for Analytical Psychology in Tallinn, Estonia.

In September 2017  I will present Irreducible Responsibility: Applying Holism to Navigate the Anthropocene at Holism: Possibilities and Problems, an international interdisciplinary conference at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex, UK
