Session 5: Maurice Merleau-Ponty: The Primacy of Perception and Embodied Experience (First Part) - PhenoLab Academy | Online Courses in Phenomenology & Mental Health

"PhenoLab gave us far more than rigorous theoretical insights; it became a mosaic of personal journeys into phenomenology. Hearing colleagues’ diverse stories and perspectives wove the lectures into lived experience, enriching every session. I left inspired to carry this shared curiosity and openness into my own work”

"As a physiotherapist interested in embodied aspects of psychopathology, the PhenoLab summer school was truly inspiring, affirming, and encouraging for my research."

"Attending the PhenoLab conference was a deeply enriching experience. Central to this impact were the presenters, whose expertise and thoughtful engagement brought the subject vividly to life. The program was thoughtfully structured, covering the foundational concepts as well as new aspects and clinical implications of phenomenological approaches in psychiatry"

“The 2nd PhenoLab was a terrific experience of exploring dynamic, far-reaching ideas in a spirit of supportiveness and collegiality that generated insight of lasting value. It was a true joy to encounter so many narratives and accounts born of rich reflectiveness and diverse thought and communicated with generosity, sincerity and authenticity. Thank you so much to the organisers and everyone involved – I have taken much away from our five days together”

“It created the opportunity to meet people with similar interests but different theoretical and clinical perspectives, which allowed us to better understand the field of phenomenology. The Summer School week increased my motivation to study philosophy and its interfaces with psychiatry!”
