What is transpersonal development?
Transpersonal means “beyond the personality.” It emphasizes experiencing the part of our nature that is beyond both our instinctual fears and our social condtioning. Often called spiritual, our transpersonal nature objectively exists and can be discovered with safe, effective, clinically-tested meditative, imagery and energy practices. Transpersonal development takes you through this discovery process and helps you to coach patient and client populations in need of this work. Your training includes direct experience, intellectual understanding, open discussion, study with like-minded students and the gaining of new connections, wider perspectives and new directions for your own work. Your training also includes how to identify your new role as a transpersonal coach/therapist/specialist, linking your skills to the alleviation of various patient and client problems.

Class Topics
Day 1: The Continuous Insight
Learn the continuous insight about our innate higher consciousness that extends from the 14th Century mystical poet Dante to the 19th Century founder of modern nursing Florence Nightingale to 20th Century “father of American psychology” William James to the psychiatrist Roberto Assagioli MD to the latest 21st Century neuroscience.
Day 2: The Four Qualities of Natural Higher Consciousness
Building on Day One, we operatonalize our natural higher consciousness into four specific qualities: inner peace, inner wisodm. liofe purpose and oneness. Using many methods and case studies, we see how these qualities help to reduce suffering and change lives for the better.
Day 3: Consciousness, Choice and the Will
Day 4: Identification with Awareness Itself
Assagioli emphasized that our awareness/consciousness is energy which has its source in a universal field of consciousness beyond the brain. This is now being explored in the latest neuroscience. Learn his methods for experiencing this natural fact and its benefits for yourself. In some spiritual schools, they are referring to this fact as non-dual consciousness, oneness, the selfless Self, awareness of awareness, etc.
