God and Therapy

Posted on: by:
The Eye of God

“In awareness work, the most divine thing is exactly what is happening right now, in the moment, inside of you and in front of your nose. From the awareness viewpoint, change is inherent in all life, you don’t have to work at it, change brings itself about.”
Arnold Mindell Ph.D, Deep Democracy of Open Forums

Welcome to an evening to share and talk about where spirituality and therapy overlap. For some people they are separate worlds, yet increasingly they cross over and inspire each other. It is the qualities that underlie psychotherapy, though, which appear to be the most applied spirituality. Qualities such as compassion, openness to the new, non-judgementalism and acceptance. The world of dreams and myth can influence our daily life and speak to our deeper yearnings to feel the presence of the divine.

Therapy brings up lots of questions as to contemporary spirituality. How does God speak to us? How do we incorporate the numinous into our worldview? Are we open to all of ourselves, including the parts of ourselves we don’t like? Can we be compassionate with the parts of ourselves that we struggle with such as being unforgiving, anger, jealousy?

Dreams and the Dreaming Process

Posted on: by:
Dreams and the Dreaming Process

“A dream which is not interpreted is like a letter which is not read.”
Talmud

Welcome to an evening to explore and share dreams. We all dream every night and have dreams of varying intensity and meaning. In this collaborative evening we will share our dreams, explore different approaches to understanding and why Jung and Freud called dreams the royal road to the unconscious. The Greeks turned to dreams for divination, and Mindell the founder of Process Work found that dreams reflect our body symptoms and dreaming process wishing to unfold.

In addition to night dreams, space will be made if wanted for other aspects of our dreaming – day dreams, sychronicities and other ways the dreaming world can call upon us.

“The dream shows the inner truth and reality of the patient as it really is: not as I conjecture it to be, and not as he would like it to be, but as it is.”
CG Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections

Why Relationships Matter

A talk on relationships, meeting the world, yourself and others through relationships.

Using Process Work principles we will explore the different ways we can gain greater awareness of our relationship issues, and how they have meaning for us and can help us develop greater awareness and compassion for ourselves and others. We will explore many concepts including: conflicts, using inner work to work with external conflicts, projection, internal & external relationships, rank and privilege, different levels of relationships and how to use difficulties and disturbances in the different relationships we have in the world.
