Call for Conference Workshops

Call for Workshops

Closing date Friday 14th March 2025

We welcome proposals for workshops based on, or related to, the theme of the conference

Workshops will take place in the afternoon and will be of 80 minutes’ duration

Conference Theme

Everywhere we look today there seem to be troubled relationships and an inability to maintain compassion and disagree respectfully.  From the Individual level, where our relationships with food, possessions and social media seem out of control and damaging, to couples and families where Domestic Violence continues to be a major problem, to organisations that are becoming increasingly polarized and unable to contain difference.  And last, but by no means least, our relationship with the planet we live on and the backlash from nature when we have abused our delicate ecosystems.  As CAT therapists we have powerful tools to understand and reflect on the origins of these troubles and on their impact, but do we also have tools that can help?

In this one day conference we hope to shine a light on some of these areas and tentatively suggest how individuals, couples, groups, organisations and perhaps even countries might be persuaded that improving their relationships could be helpful.

No pressure then … do come and join us with your own unique viewpoints so that those of us in the CAT community can practice what we preach!
