Keynote
Harville Hendrix, Ph.D.
Transforming Society Through Conscious Loving
Images of social transformation tend to include ending poverty, eradicating disease, and alleviating human suffering. Little attention is given to the cause of these social ills as a failure of love in marriage and parenting. It is also little known that couples who create conscious partnerships grounded in mature love become better citizens and social activists and rear healthy children, thus transforming society at its core. This keynote argues that the fulcrum of social transformation is healthy couplehood and healthy children, and that only by resolving the crises of love in the personal will society ever be fully and permanently transformed.
