This dynamic and stimulating course provides tools and techniques that have a direct application to both personal and professional development - as well as being the essential entry point to professional training in psychosynthesis.

‘Essentials’ is a unique opportunity to further your personal journey. Students have told us that they find the experience of Essentials both moving and life enhancing, quite apart from the stimulating introduction to a new model of the mind and some fresh therapeutic methods.

The course is a blend of deep experiential and theoretical work and comprises an intense 50 hour experience spread over five days. The course begins on Monday 8th February and you are invited to arrive on Saturday 6th and spend the additional time, which is included in the price, to relax and acclimatise yourself at Findhorn.

As an integral part of this course, and included in the price, each person has an individual session with an experienced psychosynthesis counsellor. This offers the opportunity to experience psychosynthesis as applied to one-to-one counselling.

The course also facilitates a unique opportunity to be involved in observation of other individual sessions and to talk to experienced counsellors and therapists about their practice.

Some of the subjects addressed during the course:
• Understanding Psychosynthesis as an holistic model
• Working with concepts of Identity and personal freedom
• Integration of body, feelings and mind
• Depth work and the unconscious processes
• Introduction to, recognition of and working with subpersonalities
• Creative use of pain, crisis and failure
• Use of will and empowerment
• Right human relationships
• Meditation, evoking and developing desired qualities
• Intuition and the transformation of psychological energies
• Opening to superconscious experience and transpersonal crises
• Introduction to the concept of the transpersonal experience.
