“In a period of time where Human Value, Freedom and Democracy are being trialed everywhere and in a cruel way, I wish and expect that the 15th EAPB Congress of Body Psychotherapy will be a source of inspiration which will motivate the Human Being to redirect sight to the value of Self and Others. That it will be the springboard to the awareness of who we really are : Harmony of Mind, Soul and Body as a Whole.”
