Prof. Ernesto Spinelli (UK) and Prof. Dan Zahavi (Denmark) will be holding a seminar I AND THE OTHER: THE CHALLENGE OF RELATIONS IN THERAPY AND THE WORLD on April 8-10, 2021.

On April 2-4, 2020 Prof. Ernesto Spinelli (UK) and Prof. Dan Zahavi (Denmark) were invited to hold the seminar in Birštonas (Lithuania) which has been cancelled due to quarantine. New date for the seminar has been already approved. Your registration (if money paid) stays valid for the seminar next year.

Please find Rimas Kočiūnas, Head of the Institute of Humanistic and Existential Psychology letter below:

Dear colleagues,

We have some sad news about the seminar by Ernesto Spinelli and Dan Zahavi – it has been cancelled due to the ever more complicated situation of the spreading coronavirus. In Lithuania at the moment there is a ban on all public events, more and more barriers are raised against persons travelling from various countries along with an ever increasing number of cancelled flights.

We intend to arrange with our presenters for an alternate date of the seminar at the end of this year or the start of the next. All of us, both presenters and organisers, have put a lot of effort into this event that is so important for our community, however, the circumstances have turned against it in the worst possible manner.

We are ready to refund your registration fee, in case you would express such a wish. Also, there is an option to use this fee for this same seminar in near future. In any case, please let us know about your intentions.

Wishing everybody much hope and strength.

Rimas Kočiūnas
