YOUR HEROIC JOURNEY - THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
Saturday 14th May 11 - Sunday 15th May 11 || EDINBURGH
Here is the reality for so many of us. We wake up to spirituality. We get inspired. We follow teachings. We do our spiritual practice. And we still behave like twits.
What is going on here?
A holistic approach that integrates spirituality and psychology is essential for a full understanding of how we develop, experience crises, integrate and fulfil. When we explore spiritual growth, we go beyond the usual goals of psychology for a happy and balanced life, into a far more dramatic and heroic journey.
This experiential workshop is an opportunity to explore the core issues of psycho-spirituality to gain insights and understanding that will be immediately and practically relevant to your own personal development and to supporting others.
This weekend also provides a working therapeutic model for the general dynamics of spiritual emergence and spiritual emergency.
This weekend enquires into:
A.
Purpose and nature of the spiritual journey
Events and circumstances for awakening
Conflicting tensions between resistance and emergence
Natural cycle of internal death and rebirth
Myth-making and compulsion for happy endings
Confused meeting of happiness and suffering
Birth and emergence of the compassionate, embodied witness
Core skills to manage the process
B.
Deeper into the challenges
Tensions that lead to crisis
Confusion, loss of identity, denial and compensation
The excitation of raw energy and kundalini
Overwhelm and nervous breakdown
Influence of ancestors, archetypes, family and collective karma
Differences between a healthy spiritual emergency and psychosis/mental illness
Healing strategies and coping skills for spiritual emergency
When to refer and get help
C.
Realistic audit of your spiritual position and next steps
A map of spiritual development and growth
Awareness, commitment, action, reflection and integration
Love, self-management, transformation, renunciation and liberation
This final session provides an opportunity for participants to reflect on their current state of play and their next steps
This is a crucial workshop for anyone personally or professionally involved in spiritual development.
