Existential Summit
2025 Emotions & The Hidden Language of the Soul
Cambodia
March 2-10, 2025
25 Continuing Education Credits
Join Dr. Leslee Brown and world renowned existential psychologist Dr. Alfried Längle on MBP’s 2025 Existential Summit in Cambodia, a land of ancient wonders and a vibrant culture, a tapestry woven with history and nature. This year, our seminar explores the power of emotions and emotionality for our personal growth, and the profound interplay of emotions in our lives, relationships, value systems and professional endeavors.
Cambodia is a place many dream to visit. For me, it conjures, images of ancient landscapes and awe-inspiring architecture. Its vibrant culture brings the theme of emotionality close to the surface, as we all respond to foreign environments uniquely. The depth of emotions evoked by new cultures and the meeting of minds from around the world, helps us explore this unique country through an existential lens.
Emotionality in existential psychology refers to the complex interplay of feelings, emotions, and their significance in human existence. It encompasses a broad range of experiences, from basic affective states to more nuanced and complex emotions like joy and sadness. Through daily, interactive seminars and excursions, each traveler will have the opportunity to develop tools to enhance their understanding of the role of emotionality in existential psychology. Those in mental health professions will be able to provide a more compassionate, supportive, and effective therapeutic experience for their clients.
With Mind Body Passport, your travels become a powerful platform for personal growth and self-discovery. Our carefully curated itineraries combine immersive experiences with thought-provoking seminars, creating a harmonious blend of learning and exploration.
