Transpersonal Psychotherapy
The Archetype of Home holds immense power over our sense of selves and belonging. Exploring what ‘home’ truly means, helps us better understand our relationship to the world, our environment and others.
In this workshop, we explore the following themes:
• ‘Home’ as an archetype and how it drives meaning in our lives; psychologically, spiritually and practically.
• Our experiences of alienation, separation, disconnection, and isolation in relation to self, other and the wider world.
• Human responses to oppression and alienation.
• The interplay between the psychological, spiritual and practical dimensions of homesickness and homecoming.
We will discuss alienation, discrimination, separation and the practical challenges of living truly ‘at home’ in our environment, through the lens of transpersonal processes.
Interpersonal approach
Participants will gain deeper understanding of interpersonal approaches and greater compassion for self, others through the lens of ‘home’ as an archetype. We will consider this universal hunger and its impact on spontaneity and intimacy, both individually and collectively.
Intrapsychic processes
The Archetype of Home- a Transpersonal Psychotherapy Workshop is offered to therapists, counsellors and others in ‘helping professions’ and we look forward to rich, expansive engagement with intrapsychic, interpersonal and transpersonal processes.
