This year they took place from 20 to 22 October in Veržej, with the main theme of psycho-physical health. About forty Salesians gathered to listen to psychotherapist Dr Uroš Perko on the care of mental health at a personal and community level, which raised many concrete questions about the relationships, well-being, coexistence and forms of dependence of those present. In the discussion groups led by the Provincial, Fr Peter Končan, and by the Provincial Delegates of the various Sectors, plans for the future were discussed. The third cycle was dedicated to the verification of physical health, led by the staff from the Ljutomer Health Promotion Centre, in which the Salesians, in addition to the professional approach and treatment, were able to discover deficiencies in the care of their own health. According to the final interview of participants, the meeting was useful and necessary to build and consolidate membership in the Salesian community, an opportunity for a short retreat and to refresh knowledge and concern for an orderly life. It is the wish of all that such meetings continue in the future.
