The 17th International Transpersonal Conference:

Slide 1:The 17th International Transpersonal Conference:�Consciousness Revolution: Transpersonal Discoveries That Are Changing the World"

Slide 2:The Conference Mission Inspired by the success of the 2008 First World Congress on Psychology and Spirituality in New Delhi and of the annual and multicultural conferences of the European Transpersonal Association (EUROTAS), a group of psychologists sharing the transpersonal vision has decided to continue the tradition of the international transpersonal meetings. This group representing the major American, European, Australian, and Asian transpersonal institutions decided to hold the 17th International Conference on June 23-27, 2010, in Moscow.

Slide 3:The Conference Mission The mission of the Conference is to present, both experientially and didactically, breakthrough discoveries revealing the fundamental role of consciousness in all human affairs and the value for humanity of our growing insights into the nature of consciousness and of the world. We want to review the role the transpersonal perspective has played in human history from the time of the first shamans 50.000 years ago to the discoveries of modern consciousness research, transpersonal psychology, and other scientific disciplines. The Conference will present not only a comprehensive overview of the forty years of the transpersonal paradigm through the voices of its founders and pioneers, but also outline its future perspectives. The lasting legacy of this conference will be several volumes documenting its proceedings in hundreds of papers by authors from many countries of the world, exploring the relevance of transpersonal research and ideas for science, politics, economy, ecology, religion, art, and other fields. We hope to bring over a 1000 participants from more than 50 countries, as well as numerous keynote speakers and spiritual teachers.

Slide 29:The Past and Future of the International Transpersonal Association ITA Birth and Death The International Transpersonal, Association (ITA) was launched in 1978 by Stanislav Grof,� its founding president,� along with Michael Murphy and Richard Price,� the founders of the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California, to promote transpersonal education and research,� as well as to organize international transpersonal conferences. So far sixteen international transpersonal conferences have been held in different parts of the world, twelve of them under the auspices of the ITA (photos from the conferences are available on the ATP Member web site.) However, after the 2004 ITA Conference in Palm Springs,� CA,� the ITA was dissolved when Stanislav and Christina Grof found it too demanding on their time and energy to continue organizing large international meetings. Rebirth David Lukoff,� Co-President of ATP,� began to explore the possibility of forming a new umbrella organization for the 28 worldwide transpersonal associations (see the ATP Guide the Transpersonal Internet at http://atpweb.org/IntlTranspOrgs.asp), modeled after Eurotas, which is a an umbrella organization for 18 European Transpersonal Associations (www.eurotas.org).� Another group was discussing the need for an international association: Harris Friedman, Editor of the International Journal of Transpersonal, Studies (see www.transpersonalstudies.org),� was looking for an organization to sponsor this journal and it seemed to him that an international journal would be best sponsored by an international organization,� something he began to discuss with the �Managing Editor of the IJTS,� Glenn Hartelius and Les Lancaster,� IJTS�s Coordinating Editor, who had also received a small grant from the British Psychological Society to fund the development of a web site to link the international transpersonal community. Stanislav Grof gave his blessing to the idea of incorporating ITA again. The ITA was reincorporated on May 27,� 2008. The initial officers are Friedman serving as its President,� Lukoff as Vice President,� and Hartelius as Secretary and Treasurer.
