The BAAPT Connections Series
Throughout the Connections Series, 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. This series will include a variety of event formats, including:
3-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.
