Exploring how Neuroarts Amplifies our Humanity
4th New Eleusis Symposion
24–26 September 2026
Old Oil Mill Factory, Elefsina, Greece
with special sessions in Epidaurus
The 4th New Eleusis Symposion convenes as a unique international stakeholders’ gathering dedicated to envisioning and initiating a NeuroArts Hub in Athens–Eleusis. Rooted in the historic landscape of Eleusis, it brings together a diverse network of scientists, artists, physicians, therapists, policymakers, educators, philosophers, and cultural leaders to explore the rapidly evolving field of neuroarts and neuroaesthetics. At the intersection of contemporary research and ancient practices, the gathering seeks to plant the seeds for a living meeting place where science, art, and ancestral wisdom converge in service of healing, transformation, and the future of humanity. Through dialogue, performance, and embodied experience, participants are invited to reconnect with the original purpose of art: to heal, to reveal, to connect, to transform.
This year, the symposion is organised by the World Human Forum in collaboration with the NeuroArts Blueprint Initiative, Your Brain on Art, the University Mental Health, Neurosciences and Precision Medicine Research Institute “Costas Stefanis”, the International Network of Ancient Asclepieia – Routes of Healing, and the Region of Attica
This year, a small stakeholders’ gathering is being organised. The programme and recordings of the sessions will be made available online following the meeting.
