We are honored and happy to invite you to participate in our next international meeting- the 26th ISST Congress.<\/p>\n

The Congress will be held from March 26th<\/sup> to 30st<\/sup> 2023 at the Ye’arim Hotel in Kibbutz Ma’ale Hachamisha, 15 km. from Jerusalem, in the beautiful landscape of the Jerusalem hills.<\/p>\n

While choosing the theme of the conference, the original thought was to explore the meeting point between Eastern and Western ideas and culture. This convergence reflects the attitude of both C.G. Jung and Dora Kalff. It also has come to reflect the development of ISST which itself is becoming a fruitful encounter of therapists from both ends of the world in the growing divergent community of ISST. Holding the conference in Jerusalem, symbolically unites East and West. \u00a0\u00a0Jerusalem, has been considered to symbolize the axis mundi, the center and connection of above and below, of spirit and ground, as well as “the center of the nations, with countries all around her.” (Ezekiel 5:5) Jerusalem holds the tension and the meeting point or intermediate space of many opposites. Unexpectedly, the world has been changing since the beginning of 2020, with the pandemic of COVID-19. We found ourselves locked in the narrow space of our houses, and at the same time connected to the whole universe, east and west, north and south. East and West have experienced a common destiny which added a new context and significance to the title “When East Meets West” sharing a universal fate.<\/p>\n

We are confronted now with Shadow aspects facing an invisible enemy that challenges us to encounter new horizons of creativity and renewal.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The Pandemic has intensified some polarities: lockdown has meant isolation and loneliness as well as solidarity and new ways to connect with people; restriction and new ideas about what freedom means in the efforts to be safe and socially responsible; and confidence in the future has been challenged by heightened uncertainty about the present and the future.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

We need more than ever, the opportunity to encounter with colleagues and with the healing energies of Sandplay.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 One expression of our \u201cfreedom\u201d has been our urge to travel and to meet friends and colleagues again, in a safe and enriching environment.<\/p>\n

With the hope of returning to normalcy, we invite you to send your proposals for presentations until July 1st<\/sup> 2022. \u00a0You are invited to explore the information provided about the conference venue and we will continue to update details about the conference and related activities and opportunities as they develop.<\/p>\n

On the conference website we also opened a page for Sandplay images during the pandemic. We invite you to send us a personal sand scene from this past challenging period that reflects this peculiar time. In this way we can start a visual dialogue through the medium of Sandplay. Photos in JPG or PNG format, between 200KB and 1MB can be sent to isstcongress2021@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n
