news / Small lecture series Adventures of self-discovery

The lecture series entitled The Adventure of Self-Discovery is a loose continuation of the spring lectures organized by Kamila Ženatá as a side program to a group exhibition on the transmission of transgenerational trauma. Understanding one’s own life story and the possibility of changing the setting of one’s psychological reality has a beneficial effect for experiencing life to the fullest, leading to inner maturity and independence. The new series of lectures is named after the book by Stanislav Grof, a Czech psychiatrist living in the United States, who was instrumental in researching altered states of consciousness.

The lecturers will talk about a deeper communication with the human inner self through altered states of consciousness and through scientific as well as personal experience will present the potential of self-cultivation of personality and awareness of one’s existence. Research into the administration of psychoactive substances to patients is showing new possibilities in the treatment of anxiety and depression.
