EABP European Association for Body Psychotherapy

EABP Congress

From 8–10 May 2026, the EABP Joint Meeting took place in beautiful Bologna, bringing together members of the Forum, Council, and Board for a rich and inspiring agenda.

The meeting was held in a hybrid format, creating the opportunity for colleagues from the Secretariat to join the discussions, share about the ongoing collaboration between the Secretariat and members, and highlight the support being offered across the network. It was also a valuable moment to encourage members to promote their upcoming events and initiatives.

For members who were unable to travel, the online participation option allowed them to stay connected and engaged with the process.

The photos from these days capture the warm atmosphere, meaningful exchanges, and strong sense of community and we are happy to share some of these moments with you.

When we use humor as part of therapy, it can be a sign that some parts of us are healing. Being able to laugh about situations often shows that we are in a stronger and healthier place emotionally.

This photo reflects exactly that. The use of humor by our Executive Board shows openness, connection, and confidence, and in this sense it is a beautiful sign that the EABP is in a good place. In harmony with all the species in nature.

At the upcoming EABP Congress in Cork 03 - 06 September 2026, we are honored to welcome a group of keynote speakers whose work has profoundly contributed to the field of body psychotherapy, trauma healing, and embodied therapeutic practice.

Together, these keynote speakers will contribute to a rich and thought-provoking dialogue throughout the EABP Congress Cork 2026, inviting us to reflect on the future of therapeutic practice in a world that urgently needs embodied connection, presence, and relational depth.

Join us for the EABP 2026 Pre-Congress Workshops: a unique opportunity to deepen your practice, connect with colleagues, and explore inspiring approaches in Body Psychotherapy.

Across full-day and half-day workshops, internationally respected trainers and practitioners will offer experiential spaces for learning, reflection, embodiment, and professional exchange. Topics range from trauma work and self-organization to mortality, embodiment, relational presence, and therapeutic practice with horses.

Whether you are looking to expand your clinical perspective, reconnect with embodied processes, or engage with new therapeutic ideas, these workshops invite meaningful exploration before the main congress begins.

🗓 Full-Day Workshops: Wednesday, 2 September 2026
🗓 Half-Day Workshops: Thursday, 3 September 2026
