Overview

Life shapes us, and how we engage with it.
Life is a creative unfolding. It gives rise to feelings, thoughts, physical symptoms, and outer obstacles and successes.
This experiential course approaches these experiences from different angles. What if life is not random, but unfolding with a certain intelligence? What if it is shaping us through the situations we meet? How do we listen to that nagging feeling in the stomach? How do we engage with an irrational colleague, or a critical voice that constantly comments on our life? This experiential online course brings together four experienced teachers, each offering a distinct psychological approach to the same question: what shapes our lives, and how do we engage it?
In this 4-class live course, you will work directly with four powerful frameworks. Through Voice Dialogue, you will encounter the subpersonalities that influence your thoughts, emotions, and behavior. In Focusing, you will learn to sense into the subtle bodily felt sense, where new meaning can emerge. Systems thinking expands the view, showing how family, work, and relational fields shape your experience. Finally, individuation, grounded in the work of Carl Jung, offers a unifying perspective: life’s shaping forces can be understood as a movement toward wholeness.

Each class is practical and experiential, with space to apply what you learn directly. This course is suited for those who want to understand their patterns more deeply, as well as practitioners who support others in this process. Recordings are available for all sessions.
This program is ideal if you want to be able to
  • Listen more closely to the movements of your psyche.
  • Develop awareness of the different inner voices that guide your actions.
  • Attuned to experiences in the body.
  • Understand the deeper forces that shape a lifepath.
  • Recognize how relational dynamics influence your behavior.
  • Support others and yourself in the process of individuation.
