The Power and Will Of A Symptom
an international summer school in the IPAL Method with ddr. Matjaž L. Regovec
July 8 – 12, 2026
Applications for the summer school are now open!
As many of you know, the IPAL method involves working on oneself in depth. At the summer school, we will have an opportunity for intensive, in-depth, and highly transformative work. Over five consecutive days, with morning and afternoon sessions, we will work in a small group, amidst the beautiful scenery of the Slovenian Alps.
This is a unique chance to step away from our usual environment, to gather oneself, to turn inwards in a safe setting, and with the professional guidance of Matjaž L. Regovec, a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist with more than 30 years of practice.
The group will be small one, nine people only. For early applications by April 30th, we are offering a 20% discount.

We are going to stay and work in the lovely environment of the “Koča Cojzarica” located in the heart of the unspoiled Mariborsko Pohorje mountains at 1,156 m above sea level.
Accommodation includes double rooms and half board.
Cordially invited to experience some working on oneself in depth with the IPAL Method in practice, and enjoy working together in a international group. There will also be lost of opportunity available to enjoy each other’s company and have a pristine experience of working and living in nature.

————————————————————-
Not necessarily of an illness, but most generally of a discomfort, it is often a symptom that initiates our working on ourselves in depth. The alchemy of a symptom introduces us to an in-depth psycho-spiritual understanding of life. Turning on the inwards represents an opportunity for a qualitative transformation of consciousness and the birth of a sacred space within which an individual image of god can eventually emerge. This is always a unique and original process of individuation, which has individual characteristics for each of us.
Theory: First, we will look at the basic dimensions of the symptom – spiritual symptoms, which are characterised by the loss of the personal spirit, psychological symptoms, which are related to excessive connection, thinking symptoms, which are related to prejudices and compulsive thoughts, and physical symptoms, which are generally in connection to the need to let go.
Practice: We will work with the techniques of psychoanalysis and active imagination, acknowledging the spiritual dimension of the individual cosmogram (birth chart) and connecting the acquired knowledge to the daily life of each of the participants. In order to be better able to ground and practically apply the acquired knowledge, we will also include the technique of drawing images, as well as their material-physical representation through the formation of plastic material. In this way, we will put together a whole, with the help of which we will form a new understanding of a symptom so that at the end of the summer school we are going to be able to return to our everyday lives with some new realisations and enhanced knowledge about ourselves.
