The conference
Recent neuroscience demonstrates that attachment and connection is crucial for health. If relationship is essential for survival one of our most important tasks is to learn how to form healthy attachments — with each other, with the earth, and with God.
“Conversations on Attachment: Integrating the Science of Love and Spirituality” explores these dynamics through the lens of attachment theory. This conference will bring together nationally recognized voices from a variety of disciplines who will apply key insights from attachment theory to current research and practice.
From social, psychological, and religious perspectives, a harmonious river of integration and attachment flows that moves us out of rigidity and chaos and into new ways of experiencing and thinking. Join us for three days of life-changing conversation that is sure to impact how you see yourself, your relationships and your attachment to the larger world.
