A recent mental health crisis spurs a life's queste and question: in the light of positive disintegration, can this crisis be understood as a precursor of a shift in levels? In this talk, Lotte shares her autobiographical journey to emotional awareness, relational intelligence and critical questioning of resonance with the TPD.

Lotte van Lith is a parent of a little yet big human being, a life partner and friend, a word smith and a creatively driven seeker oftentimes lost in her hunt of emotional shadows.

Lotte is active as a speaker, lecturer and trainer on the psychology, practice, and art of personal, relational, and creative development (amongst others at the School of Thinking at Free University of Brussels and the Buckminster College). In her own company, A Lot of Complexity, she accompanies intense adolescents and adults in their personal and creative growth spurts and regularly organizes lively seminars and courses on topics ranging from sense making and creative giftedness to emotional development. She is known for her work with the theory of positive disintegration, particularly in the field of giftedness, and received an award for her contributions by the Dutch Mensa Fund. In 2021, she published “Intens mens”, a collection of lyrical reflections on the above themes.

2024 is a collectively challenging year in which Lotte is embarking on a courageous, developmentally, and socially motivated existential-artistic quest for adaptive ways of living, relating and narrating, guided by a growing emotional and spiritual anchoredness. Curious? Lotte is open towards ideas for collaborations, research, and projects. Let's re-imagine our worlds together!
