After all on the path of human drama and comedy, life, liberty and pursuit of happpiness have always been accompanied by the search for oneself, the possible self. As we live in today's complex and accelerating environment of change, we need new, more efficient and less stressful ways of discovering and realizing out potential. The strong overlap between creativity and learning demands a closer consideration in the process of developing the human potential. After last year's succssful conference in "Applying Tomorrow's Solutions to Today's Problems," this year's theme is centered around "Reclaiming Human Genius." LERNING OBJECTIVES This uniqe symposium will provide you a context for exploring five inter-connected areas: 1. How to develop the genius within; 2. Ways to improve your interface, as a genius, with the society; 3. The socio-historical conditions favoring the emergence of genius and what are roles a genius can play in this; 4. The risk of maladaptaion of geniuses and near- geniuses and alternatives; 5. How you can help in universalizing the experience of human genius. Various powreful methods and techniques will be presented and experimented with in the context of the above areas. Many other resources from books to softwares will be also available at discount prices. PRESENTERS A wide variety of presenters will provide you with stimulating and enriching ideas and perspectives.
