Many people in the heartlands of North America and Europe are feeling the loss of meaning in their lives, a kind of spiritual disconnection or existential emptiness. This course offers practical, holistic approaches that respond both to this spiritual alienation and to the extraordinary pressures of contemporary culture.<\/p>\n
Jung found evidence\u00a0 that validated his ideas on the psyche\u2019s spiritual instinct. He repeatedly witnessed the soul\u2019s innate knowledge and capacity to transform, transcend, heal, and feel whole.\u00a0 Present day neuroscience also recognizes the relation between the spiritual function and mental health. The harmful effects of a decline in faith on trauma recovery has been demonstrated. The positive mental health effects of engaging the psyche\u2019s spiritual function have also been well documented. Yoga offers an immediately accessible and enjoyable way to engage in a spiritual practice.<\/p>\n
In this course you will learn that well-being, individuation and embodied spiritual experience go hand-in-hand. Healing our psychic splits is of\u00a0 immeasurable value for our day-to-day wellbeing.\u00a0 This healing includes\u00a0 knowledge in regard to the \u2018guardrails\u2019 of suffering and discontent; improved abilities to relate and communicate; and increased wisdom in relationship to flow states, resonance and synchronicity.<\/p>\n
This course combines theory with practices.\u00a0Each class includes breathwork, meditations and\/or journal prompts that help self inquiry.<\/p>\n
This is a potent course.\u00a0 It\u00a0 offers practices that we can readily undertake, practices that will help us in healing our painful psychic splits and our suffering.<\/p>\n
