Our Vision

The 6th Global Summit on Spirituality, Religion & Mental Health was a centralized opportunity for interdisciplinary and international engagement, discourse, collaboration, and strategy-building to chart the future of the psychology of religion and spirituality. Held at the Joseph B. Martin Conference Center at Harvard Medical School, it represented a landmark interdisciplinary collaboration. A recognized World Psychiatric Association gathering, the Summit brought together leaders from across disciplines and around the world.
