YOUR HEROIC JOURNEY - THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
Saturday 5th February 11 - Sunday 6th February 11 || MANCHESTER

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.
