The Global Seminar on Community & Emotional Strength October 10–19, 2026 |

Vasiliki, Lefkada, Greece

About the Seminar RESILIENCE BEYOND BORDERS brings together therapists, hydrotherapists, mental health professionals, somatic practitioners and community facilitators from around the world for a week of learning, embodied practice and connection. Set against the backdrop of Lefkada's turquoise waters and thermal winds, the seminar explores how communities and individuals cultivate emotional strength in the face of adversity, displacement and collective trauma.

Seminar Themes ● Somatic and water-based approaches to trauma recovery ● Community resilience in the aftermath of crisis and conflict ● Rites of passage: rituals of homecoming, transition and renewal ● The therapist as a vessel — sustaining ourselves while holding others ● Cross-cultural models of collective healing and mutual support ● Integrating body, mind and consciousness in clinical practice
