10th International Workshop in Group Analytic Psychotherapy
Peace and WAR
First, there was peace (paraphrase of St. John)
What: Three-day workshop
When: 2-4 October 2015
Where: Kobarid, Slovenia
Kobarid is a small town under the mountains where the Great War took an enormous toll. The front on the river Isonzo killed more than five hundred thousand lives on both sides. There were soldiers of around twenty nations. For many, it was not only the blood bath but also humiliation, suffering and starvation in POW camps that marked them for life. People's awareness of the tragic and senseless combats is still alive, even gaining momentum.
The horrors of the Great War call for a reflection of peace and war. Only now, a hundred years later, can we talk openly about the experiences of our grandparents and great-grandparents. Some say war is unavoidable, at least occasionally. However, it may well depend on what we, as individuals and members of social groups, do with our personal and collective aggression.
Here, we are putting ‘peace’ first, reversing Tolstoy's original order. In the intrauterine beginning of our lives, we were at peace. Our great struggles, inner and outer, developed only later.
