Such an approach is not only effective for those who are helped but offers deeper satisfaction to the professional.  Register October 27, 2018 - 10 am - 3:30 pm A Soulful Life in a Soulful World  According to traditional teachings, soul makes us deeply human and unique persons. It allows us to be intimate with the people around us and with everything we do. It is found at home, in family, among friends and in nature. It needs attachment, rather than detachment, and yet it fosters a deep and very human kind of spirituality.

Re-Imagining Psychotherapy for our time

Training opportunity

The word "psychotherapy" is made up of two powerful Greek terms: psyche (soul) and therapeia (serve or care for). A perfect English translation is "care of the soul."  Soul is our mysterious depth, our sense of self shrouded in cultural and personal history, profound and sometimes foggy emotions, unexpected desires and fears, our deep narrative that lies beyond the conscious story we tell. Therapy serves and cares for this soul that defines who we are and connects us with people and the world.  I draw on the world's spiritual traditions to care for the soul and re-define psychotherapy connected to practical philosophy, sacred ritual, and the arts.  This is an important time for us to mature and deepen in our understanding of psyche. Training in Thomas Moore's Soul-Based Approach Psychotherapy as Care of the Soul March 2-4, 2018 Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, Lenox, MA For psychotherapists, analysts, counselors, coaches, clergy, and others looking to deepen their work. In soul-based therapy, we recognize the autonomy of the soul in a person's life and the way the soul works in contrast to conscious, intended behavior. The soul is central to our humanity, intimate connections, spiritual vision, and pleasure-all of which give meaning and purpose to life. When the life of the deep soul is blocked, we suffer. Soul-based therapy requires an ability to see what is going on beneath the surface. Since the language of the soul is poetic, we must learn to attune to artistic, literary, mythic, and dream imagery. Alchemy, shamanism, and other esoteric systems also provide rich guidance for soul processes. Specially designed for mental-health professionals, this program with Thomas Moore explores the journey of becoming a soul-sensitive human being, able to guide others in accessing the soul's wisdom. Experience an intense immersion in therapy that zeroes in on the deep narratives and themes playing out in a person's life. At Kripalu, we will enjoy good food, community, the nearness of nature and support to go deep.  This program is mainly for practicing counselors, therapists, and other healers, but students of the therapeutic arts and yoga teachers may also be interested.   Register I hope you enjoy this brief clip from my recent conversation with Oprah.

Register "Ageless Soul" and "Care of the Soul in Relationships and Work" with Thomas Moore 11/3 at 7:00pm - to 11/4 at 3:30pm at the Center for Spiritual Living in Seattle Ageless Soul offers positive and inspiring guidance for becoming a full person as time goes by. Since we are all aging, it is for anyone who has ever thought about getting older.  Relationships require both engagement and freedom, intimacy and distance. The soul of a relationship lies deep, and oddly, may come to the foreground when there is trouble or crisis. Caring for the soul is different from adjusting well and keeping things smooth and unruffled. The other person's soul is a deep mystery, and so is yours. You have to respect this mystery as you make efforts over time to be close. Register
