1st International Affect Therapy Symposium

A Day of Talks, Performances, Discussion Join us for an immersive exploration of affect therapy — a rigorous inquiry into how emotional life shapes human experience, from the transformation of pleasure into desire, to the cultivation of joy as an ethical foundation. This in-person event brings together leading thinkers, performers and practitioners from across the field, offering a programme of research presentations, theoretical discussions, performances, and experiential workshops designed to deepen both clinical understanding and personal practice. Speakers and performers: Manu Bazzano, Anastasios Gaitanidis, Seb Heid, Margarita Karkayanni, Nikos Kypriotakis, Stella Kolyvopoulou, Glenn Nicholls, Parvy Palmou, Ioannis Papadopoulos, Agniya Pasechnik-Lyle, Yannis Riga, and Konstantinos Tzikas. Hosted by Evrinomy Avdi and Manos Manakas. Whether you are an experienced clinician, researcher, or a thoughtful newcomer to the field, this gathering offers a substantive opportunity to engage with cutting-edge ideas, connect with colleagues, and contribute to an evolving conversation at the heart of contemporary therapy.
