Core Training

The Art of Spiritual Guidance

This foundation course is a 2-year training program for people in a mature place on their path – spiritually or psychologically or both – and who are committed to further learning and exploration. The training comes from an interfaith perspective, integrating the wisdom and insights of Transpersonal and Jungian Psychology.  The training is for those called to spiritual guidance and will also benefit those working in medical, religious, teaching and helping professions by broadening their understanding of spiritual development.  This is an opportunity for 20 or so people to journey together creating a sense of spiritual community and support. 

Spiritual guidance supports a process of personal transformation

that connects the soul with its longing for expression and authenticity.

It is an art, a gift, a calling…

The Soul of Christianity

This program will be an in-depth journey into the symbolic life contained within the Christian tradition. Emphasis will be placed on discovery of an inner path of spiritual development, rather than on the organized religion or institutional Church. Spiritual practices and teachings that invite us to participate in experiences of the divine presence will be explored. To view the program flyer, click here.

Advanced Training

The Alchemy of Transformation

This course is designed as an advanced immersion training for those who have completed the Art of Spiritual Guidance Program. The Alchemy of Transformation is an in-depth experiential study of seven essential alchemical operations, which lie at the heart of the process of transformation. Explore each operation from its corresponding psychological and spiritual dimensions. How they are reflected in and affect Relationships is also a theme. Special attention will be given to the archetypical images, myths and sacred rituals of various traditions, which embody the operations. A unique aspect of the program is emphasis upon a rich collection of spiritual practices that facilitate the alchemy of transformation, and creative exercises that help to integrate the operations.
