THE SPIRITUAL QUEST, ATTACHMENT, AND ADDICTION - GTT Module, 30 June -5 Juli 2024 - led by Paul McCormack

Jun 30, 2024

Past event

New ways to look at psychology and spirituality are offering exciting possibilities in the recovery movement, both for individual seekers and for those who work in the treatment field. This module explores a whole continuum, from the idea of addiction as an extreme form of attachment, which affects everyone and which is crucial to spiritual seekers of all practices, to the more articulate forms of addiction: substance, process, relationship, and more. Through theory, discussion and experiential exercises, we’ll look at: The disease paradigm of recovery; The wellness paradigm and the transpersonal recovery centre; Implications of perinatal...

Oct 09, 2022

Past event

A Grof Transpersonal Training module led by Jean Farrell Join us for an in-depth exploration of the fascinating human journey, from conception to death and rebirth.

GTT MODULE "THE POWER OF TRUST AND CONNECTION - Transforming through Compassion" with DIANA MEDINA

Mar 08, 2020

Past event

f one has compassion for self, the natural consequence is to have compassion for others. Many of us have a core imprint that “I am not safe, and I can’t trust”. The challenge for us to trust and connect with our deepest selves greatly impacts on our ability to trust and connect with others. This makes it difficult for us to risk reaching out when we need support. A daily practice of mindfulness and compassion for self and others is a crucial step towards healing traumas that make it so hard for us to trust and feel safe. In this module we will explore: a variety of simple daily practices, which can transform our relationship to ourselves; the exciting scientific research of Kristin Neff and Paul Gilbert, which connects neurobiology with our ability to be nurtured; practices of self-compassion that help to shift our neurobiological pathways and heal our instinctual response, changing it from “I don’t trust” to “I can trust and feel safe”; how self- compassion can deepen our ability to support others. Furthermore, we will experience the healing powers of expanded states of consciousness in 4 Holotropic Breathwork sessions (2 as a breather and 2 as a sitter). To participate you don't need any previous experience with Holotropic Breathwork. If you feel drawn, you are welcome!

Nov 24, 2019

Past event

"The mind is like the wind and the body like the sand: if you want to see how the wind is blowing, you can look at the sand." — Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen "Everything that is" invites us to dive deeper into the layers of our presence; to seek a conscious yet liberated and sovereign place to dance our life from. Together we will be zooming into our physical, emotional and mental foundation. We will be working with the sensations and anatomical make up of our bodies from conception until now, directing our awareness to responses for inner and outer stimuli and finding our own resources for resilience.

Inner Ethics and the Journey beyond Self - Finding the Power and Beauty of Right Relationship - GTT Module  with Kylea Taylor - 30 June to 5 July 2019, Peace Castle Schlaining

Jun 30, 2019

Past event

“Ethics has to do with the most interesting parts of human life: money (exchange), sex, relationship, self-understanding, power, love, truth, insight, and mysticism. In summary, ethics is about relationship. It is about the inner relationships of our values to action. It is about the interaction between one belief and another, one desire and another, one fear and another. Ethics is about how we view and treat “the other” in our personal and professional communities. Ethics is the process by which we sort out what best creates inner and outer harmony in our lives and in the lives of those we care for.” (Kylea Taylor in The Ethics of Caring) The Ethics of Caring provides a no-blame model based on self-compassion and curiosity that supports a willingness to uncover and own our motivations, share with our peers what we have learned from ethical missteps, and make good choices on behalf of our clients and ourselves.
