mens agitat molen

Developed by Convento Inn, as an integrant element of our concept, the “Salon des Penseurs", aims to bring together like minded individuals from all sciences and arts, to exchange ideas and information that can contribute to a better understanding about the processes of “Mind And Thought”.

Set in a relaxed environment, these “Salons” will bring together Guest Hosts and Convento guests  to participate in stimulating talks and exchange ideas.

WHAT
A cultural, philosophical, literary and intellectual movement focused on the study of mind and thought, so as to redefine the understanding of knowledge to fit the ethics and aesthetics of our time.

WHY
To stimulate mind connections with the creation of an intellectual movement, and the institution of a gathering space for the exchange of ideas, welcoming to world travellers, and thinkers seeking to expand understanding and knowledge through human interaction.

WHO
Professors and Academics, Scientists, Researchers, Artists, Guests and all thinkers are welcome.

Convento Inn and A.I.E.S.M.P – International Association of Studies about the Mind and Thought have established a partnership for cultural, technical and scientific collaboration for this purpose as well as to develop dedicated comunity projects involving the local culture and traditional knowledge.

Prof. Dr. Slobodan Dan Paich

Slobodan Dan Paich has multiple ongoing vocations.  As comparative cultural studies scholar, he has delivered numerous papers at international conferences, as a presenter and as keynote speaker. His presentations are based on his courses, lectures, and research since 1969, addressing tangible and intangible heritage, comparative cultural studies, and the migration of techniques and ideas. The courses he initiated in 1969 at the university level broadened the scope of art history into the History of Art and Ideas. These courses included geographies larger than the European cultural sphere, and an interdisciplinary, across-time curriculum was developed to include ancient and indigenous people, viewed as differently cultured, ingenious, and refined, rather than primitive.

Slobodan is a teacher of multidisciplinary arts and has worked in theater all his life. He is never too far from a rehearsal process. He has received many awards for art, performance, and community initiative wherever he has lived and worked.
