ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on some of the themes expressed in recurring words, images, activities, and concepts, including the geographical setting on the shores of Lake Maggiore in Italy. Themes include founding fathers and mothers, dynamics of succession, freedom, equality, and the desire for leaders to meet our fear of peers. These include creative pairings, but the "sibling" pairings that are more connected to the idea of "polymorphous perversity" curiosity, playfulness, aggression, and creativity as the result of unusual pairings. The warmth of the hugging and kissing at the start of the conference and the pleasure of reconnection, "sat with practitioners at the table" while the shadow, containing all the hidden rivalries, hostilities, disappointments, and aggression "lay asleep on the bed". The thoughts and reflections come from personal experience of the Belgirate III conference and the fantasies and projections that inevitably accompany them.
