How can we engage in intercultural encounters in a genuinely dialogical, respectful, and holistic way? This conference explores the fundamental tensions and pitfalls at the contemporary intersection of modern science and Indigenous worldviews. We will analyze the importance of cultivating epistemic hospitality—a radical openness to diverse “ways of knowing”—that involves both the critical rigor of the Western researcher and the experiential depth of the ancestral sage. Given the historical asymmetry of this encounter, it becomes imperative for the West to learn to navigate risks such as epistemic colonialism and the subtle boundary of cultural/spiritual appropriation. When we address these challenges with awareness and ethical commitment, obstacles are transformed into bridges toward more integrated knowledge and, crucially, into vehicles for healing historical and intercultural wounds. By inhabiting this threshold with humility, we allow both knowledge and encounter to cease being conquests and become the medicine of our shared humanity.
- JORGE FERRER
To explore compassion as an essential practice in the Buddhist tradition and as a path to cultivating inner harmony and more meaningful human connections. This talk aims to inspire the integration of compassion into daily life as a bridge between the sacred and shared experience.

- JUAN RUIZ NAUPARÍ
Between being and becoming, Transpersonal Psychology recognizes the existence of a fundamental enigma: the mystery of origin that underpins all human experience. This presentation proposes a profound exploration of the ego’s journey. It will address crises as thresholds of transformation, the dialogue between science and superscience, and the notion of a universal consciousness that underlies individual experience. Through the passage of transgenerational fractals, traumas, and implicit memories, the past can be reinterpreted, allowing access to the instant of the eternal present as an experience of integration.

Specific Objective: The transpersonal triad, Consciousness-Love-Life, corresponds to the transcendent dimension of the three basic human centers (Intellect-Heart-Instinct).

Furthermore, it proposes integrating scientific, ancestral, and spiritual perspectives to reframe the beginning of existence as a sacred and transformative event.

- SIDDHA SANDRA
This presentation aims to deepen our understanding of music as a universal and transpersonal language capable of opening portals to the sacred, fostering experiences of transcendence, communion, and a sense of unity.
