Connections Series
Schedule of Events
For the 2025-2027 Connections Tour, our programs and seminars will take inspiration from John Beebe's powerful framework of 24 keywords. Each is a dynamic concept that builds a connection between a cognitive function and a Jungian model component: the persona, ego, or self. (For example, Validating connects Fe with the persona.)
Our events will provide you with tools and perspectives on how to harness the 24 keywords in your life. In particular, to foster deeper and more authentic relationships at home, at work, and within.
This series will include a variety of event formats, including:
4-HOUR MASTERCLASS PROGRAMS
Each program is presented by an expert in the cognitive functions, and includes a mix of presentations, group discussions, and interactive activities.
8-HOUR DEEP-DIVE SEMINARS
We encourage you to register for our membership options, which include our full-day seminars. Each full-day seminar will feature multiple presentations from our distinguished experts. In between, there will be activities, including film discussions, group discussions, games, and more!

An accessible & enriching journey for all
This journey was designed to provide value for everyone, whether you're a beginner or a more seasoned personality explorer. If you're new to any of these concepts (e.g. Introverted Thinking, the persona, etc.), each one will be introduced along the way, helping you to get acquainted.
If you're more experienced with the psyche and the functions, you'll uncover a multitude of perspectives that will deepen your understanding of them. You'll often be discussing and engaging with multiple concepts at a time. And you'll learn how they interact and form meaningful and dynamic patterns. These theoretical connections can help strengthen your tangible connections - within yourself and with others.
Stay tuned... there are more events to be announced!
This list of events is far from being comprehensive. There will be at least 9 more programs, aside from the ones listed above. Please stay tuned, we will announce more speakers, event titles, and event information throughout the summer.
There's the chance you'll be able to gather with fellow members in your local area, and perhaps enjoy a meal together. In Meals are not included in the cost of a BAAPT membership, nor in the cost of an individual program.)
*Please note:
This calendar is subject to change. Event speakers, dates, titles, durations, and topics may change as the year unfolds.
The May 16, 2026 program will take place on the 3rd Saturday of the month instead of the 2nd.
