This interdisciplinary program offers a unique opportunity to explore the emerging field of Spiritual Anatomy through a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual perspective. Participants will attend expert presentations and engage in interactive workshops led by experienced psychiatrists, psychologists, educators, and social scientists.
The program combines scientific insights with practical applications, providing a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts and their relevance to human health, behaviours, and development. Throughout the workshop, participants are encouraged to actively engage in discussions, ask questions, and exchange ideas with experts from different disciplines.
Whether you are a clinician, researcher, educator, or simply interested in integrative approaches to understanding the human being, this workshop will provide valuable first insights into the foundations, interdisciplinary perspectives, and future potential of Spiritual Anatomy.
The program will conclude with a relaxed social program, including traditional local cuisine and the opportunity to spend time together in a warm and friendly atmosphere. It is a chance to enjoy not only delicious food but also meaningful conversations and new friendships. On 25 October, participants are invited to join a cultural excursion and discover some of the beautiful landscapes and cultural highlights of Bosnia.
