​The 3rd European Biblio/Poetry Therapy Conference has taken place in Canterbury — a city shaped for centuries by pilgrimage, storytelling, listening, and transformation. ​Inspired by The Canterbury Tales, we have offered this gathering as a shared journey.

​

Like Chaucer’s pilgrims, we arrived from different places and disciplines, carrying our own stories, questions, and ways of working. As 'Pilgrims of the Page' we spend time together discovering how words can heal, illuminate, and transform human lives.

​

​​Following the successful conferences in Budapest and Jyväskylä, the third European conference on biblio/poetry therapy took place in the Canterbury Cathedral conference centre (The Lodge, pictured above), on Thursday 1st and Friday 2nd October 2026.

​

Pictures of the event will be available to delegates on social media and soon on the photo page.
