Standing on the Abyss. Trauma, Development and Resilience
International Annual Conference of the Medical Section, September 16-20, 2026
We are in a turbulent time with a feeling of many quickly-approaching thresholds. Change comes rapidly and in unexpected ways. Some shifts are a clear call for more wakefulness, part of the time of the consciousness soul. Other changes bring painful chaos, separation, trauma and loss – with the border between these two types of experiences not always clear.
At our annual medical section conference, we will strive to create a protected space to explore both the wounds and scars that come with trauma, as well as gaining a deeper understanding of mostly unexpected developments in spiritual growth and new resilience. How can we interact with the world and our fellow human beings in a helpful and healing way during this time? What are we being called to do?
Best greetings, on behalf of the preparation group
Marion Debus, Karin Michael, Adam Blanning
