EHNW Fall Workshop: Kirk Schneider “Awakening Life-Enhancing Anxiety in our Profession and World: An Existential-Depth Approach”

Keynote Speaker: Kirk Schneider, PhD

Host: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW)

This day-long workshop will explore how anxiety is hitting the roof in our practices and world precisely because we so often fail to address the underlying or primal anxiety that fuels greater and more destructive anxiety. That which Kirk terms “life-enhancing anxiety,” is a level of anxiety that enables us to live with and make the best of the depth and mystery of existence. Or to put it more concretely, it fosters our capacity to live more on the edge of wonder and discovery rather than terror and overwhelm.

3rd World Congress of Existential Therapy

Royal Olympic Hotel, Athens, Greece Athens, Greece

Living in the Here and Now:
Embracing our roots
Creating our future

Heraclitus states that "Everything flows and nothing remains". He reminds us that "nobody bathes twice in the same river", explaining not only that the water in the river flows, but that people also change from one moment to another.

Our existence is always present, initiating and encompassing all of our biological and social history. At the same time, and while existence encompasses the past, it is envisioned and moving towards the future. A future in which human beings do not merely move but create, through their inherent freedom.

The 3rd World Congress of Existential Therapy is being held in Athens in May 2023 and offers an opportunity to address the here-and-now while embracing our roots and building a vision towards the future.
