Psychosynthesis was formulated early last century by the Italian psychiatrist, Roberto Assagioli.
He explored the overlap of spirituality and psychology and became fascinated by the role of will in the
integration of what he called superconscious qualities such as our compassion and our love. Assagioli
believed that we repress the sublime as well as trauma and shadow. Therefore we can give attention
to what is calling to us from our heights as well as what may be driving us from our depths. If we can
identify and align with our values then we make choices that respect our needs but also acknowledge
our potential and help step that down into the present. You can read more about psychosynthesis at:

Who should attend: This seminar is particularly relevant for counselors (generic, grief,
school), psychotherapists, mental health workers, and those in pastoral care who wish to refresh their
spirits and deepen their practice.

“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest — a kind of
optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our
personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves
from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole
of nature in its beauty.” – Albert Einstein
