The PES conference considered the intersection between psychology, ecology, and sustainability.  As developing outlets for dialogue was a major conference goal, facilitated small group discussions were held each day.  The conference concluded with a creative “open space” process on Sunday, where participants considered strategies and plans for effective personal and professional engagement in the struggle for a sustainable and psychologically healthy future.
