Dr Yaya de Andrade, Natividad Menendez & Kimiko Nita 

 

 

Theme: Therapy as a Spiritual Path for Client & for Therapist.  A presentation of the application of Buddhist psychology in a  number of dimensions; a forum in which to reflect upon the spiritual path from a psychological point of view and the psychological work from a spiritual perspective.
 
Content: Talks, seminars, master class demonstration, group experience, case presentation and discussion.  Theoretical material will be presented and there will also be experiential workshops so participants should be willing to share material about personal life and agree to respect the confidentiality of others.  

Suitable for: The weekend is open to anybody interested both in understanding their own life and relationships better and in the therapeutic process and how this relates to the spiritual path in a Buddhist approach. It is of especial interest to present & prospective students of the Buddhist Psychology program and to practitioners of inter-personal work interested in a spiritual perspective.
