2010 AAP Conference
"Co-Creating the World We Want"
June 25-27, Chicago, IL

Building the Psychosynthesis Me-to-We Toolkit
An invitation to share your innovations at the 2010 Conference

Whether you call it The Great Turning or Convergence, we are at a profound moment in history. Accelerating change, blurring boundaries, staggering increases in complexity and environmental threats have created an unprecedented need to facilitate the emergence of Me-to-We thinking, values, or consciousness. More and more leaders in the public and private sectors recognize that success in this new world requires more We thinking. The challenge is how to facilitate the shift.

Psychosynthesis is uniquely endowed with the models, tools and techniques to facilitate this Me-to-We shift in consciousness and lifestyle. All we have to do is innovate, adapt and leverage these tools for use in many different contexts. Doing so will both facilitate the evolution of consciousness and accelerate the development of the world we want, making one giant step towards realizing what Roberto Assagioli described as the Supreme Synthesis.

At the 2010 Conference, in 10 to 15 minute sessions, people will demonstrate their innovations or adaptations of Psychosynthesis principles, techniques and best practices. We have listed core conceptual areas that might apply. We welcome your innovation. The application deadline is March 15, 2010.
