Annual Conference 2026
Standing on the Abyss. Trauma, Development and Resilience
from 16. to 20. September 2026
Dear Colleagues,
We find ourselves in a turbulent time that confronts us with a wide variety of threshold experiences in rapid succession, with changes occurring increasingly quickly and unexpectedly.
Some of these upheavals clearly call us to heightened spiritual vigilance as a hallmark of our age of the consciousness soul. Others, however, bring painful chaos, separation, trauma and loss – although the boundary between these two experiences is not always clear.
At this year’s annual conference of the Medical Section, we would like to create a safe space to better understand both the lasting wounds and scars associated with trauma, as well as the often unexpected developments towards spiritual growth and new resilience.
How can we encounter the world and our fellow human beings in a helpful and healing way during this time? What are we called upon to do?
For the Section Leaders and the IKAM Council
