Members Convention Workshop July 2025

Resonance: From Theory to Measurement, System, and Application

11:00–13:30 | With Dr. Till Kastendieck & Bastin Jafari

Explore how resonance can serve as a model for connection, setting, and transformation – in science, therapy, and society. This interactive workshop includes four hands-on modules drawing from philosophy, psychology, systems theory, and practical application.

In this pre-convention workshop, Dr. Till Kastendieck and Bastin Jafari invite you to explore to what extent resonance is more than a theoretical construct. According to sociologist-philosopher Hartmut Rosa, it is defined as a relational mode of existence characterized by mutual affection and transformation. In four interactive workshop sessions, we explore

(1) what resonance is from a philosophical and psychological perspective, how it relates to other fundamental concepts such as emotion and empathy,

(2) whether resonance can be measured with scientific methods,

(3) can be scaled with technology in collaborative, democratic and pluralistic systems, and

(4) lived in and applied to daily life. For more information on resonance, please see this recent Interview with Hartmut Rosa).
