📣CONFERENCE KEYNOTE SPEAKER What if the way we define the self as a synonym for the individual is based on a cultural illusion - one that divides “self” from “other” and us from the rest of nature? Dr Dan Siegel will join us at the 14th International CFT Conference 2024, delivering a keynote that explores how integrating consciousness itself allows us to move beyond this outdated notion of a separate or ‘solo self’ and embrace our IntraConnected identity – the deep, rational nature of our existence. Dan’s Keynote title is: Consciousness and Compassion: Opening Awareness to our IntraConnected Identity Dr Dan Siegel is the Founder and Director of Education at the Mindsight Institute and founding Co-Director of the Mindfulness Awareness Center at UCLA. He has authored 5 New York Times bestsellers and over 15 other books. He is also the founding editor of the Norton Professional Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB). In postgraduate training at UCLA, Dan specialised in paediatrics and adult, adolescent and child psychiatry and he is trained in attachment research and narrative analysis.
