Everyone from our newest members to the original developers of TIR can come together once a year at this special event to converse about the technical application of TIR and related Applied Metapsychology techniques.

  • Each day of the Symposium begins with a few brief presentations, followed by discussion, networking and practical application.
  • Most years, at least one new technique will be presented by the AMI Development & Editing Committee for participants to study, to try out right on the spot, and to take home to use in their practices.
  • Topics for discussion also come from the participants! We will talk about case planning and when referrals are needed, about anything and everything related to getting the most effective results for our clients. You can come with questions, either specific or general, interesting cases you have worked with, special successes, perplexing frustrations, etc. Questions and topics brought up for discussion will be viewed in order of interest (by vote) of the attendees, and will be covered as time allows. We never run out of interesting topics for discussion.
  • As a member of TIRA, this is your chance to spend time brainstorming with the most experienced and knowledgeable people in this field, to get your questions answered, and to share your own knowledge and experience.
  • This is not a conference where everyone sits being lectured to, but rather a rich experience, with interchange where all learn from each other. Practitioners with a broad range of backgrounds, education, and experience attend, which makes this meeting a unique opportunity for learning. Part of the value of this event is the opportunity to talk to others with similar interests from all over the world.

The purpose of the TIR Association Symposium is to reward our members with an especially fulfilling learning and networking experience. The other, equally important purpose is to support Applied Metapsychology International in its purpose to actually advance the subjects of TIR and Applied Metapsychology in terms of their practical application. Many find the opportunity to be a part of this both personally and professionally rewarding.

The TIR Association invites its members who (1) have completed the TIR Workshop and (2) who have demonstrated their ability to communicate with peers in a respectful and professional manner. These requirements ensure a productive and congenial atmosphere for our work and learning together during the vital and precious time we have at each yearly Symposium.
The response each of the last few years was overwhelmingly positive:
  • “Absolutely wonderful group of people, fantastic lectures, beautiful accommodations.”
  • “What I liked best was to hear about everybody’s opinions on techniques, ideas, and clients.”
  • “Spectacular! Loved all the speakers.”
  • “The opportunity to share with and learn from others – nothing like it for me – a very sustaining experience.”
  • I love the mix of conference presentations and discussions.”
  • “From my perspective, it was money and time well spent. Great people, valuable content, nice venue. Kudos to you and your team.”
