- Imagine a space where a unique opportunity existed to take time-out-of time to voyage to the deepest recesses of your own psyche.
- Imagine that during that voyage there existed a chance encounter with the landscape of your own internal universe, the navigation around which history reveals itself with the possibility of it being transformed.
- Imagine that as a result of that transformation the unfulfilled dreams of your childhood are made possible once again and the future is fecund with potential.
- Imagine that you become powerful beyond measure and as you transform your internal landscape, can you transform the world in which you live – thus transforming the lives of others as you live your dream
- Imagine that the encounter with the demons and ghosts of your childhood, reveals them as angels of transformation.
- Imagine that as you re-walk the footprints you left in your historical landscape you see that you have always been held in compassion and mercy.
- Imagine that you meet with the Being of Compassion, Harmlessness and Mercy and that is thy own Self.
There is such a place…
Where the journey is known and a space created for travelers to meet with their own Selves
Which is held by guides and witnesses who have gone before and who know something of the landscape, the signposts and landmarks and who support the traveler on the road to this meeting
Which is a sanctuary where time is suspended and the outer world put on hold for a while whilst you and fellow travelers make sense of your existence so the return is from a different perspective; with a full heart and a will to live a meaningful life.
In this Place there is a Programme in Psychosynthesis Psychology at its Heart
Leading to an MA in Psychosynthesis Psychology
This programme has evolved over 50 years so the road-map for the journey is tried and tested. It starts with an in-depth exploration of the inner world of the individual and their existential and sacred journey towards the realisation of their Spiritual reality.
The programme holds to central tenets in psychosynthesis psychology. It provides a template for psychospiritual development and at the same time a practice and apprenticeship under supervision for the application of that which is being taught.
The core principles embodied in the programme are:
- Psychosynthesis posits that the Self is a fundamental reality, manifesting through various levels of existence and expression, each offering a unique perspective on our spiritual and psychological journey.
- Psychosynthesis affirms that there is an ongoing process of Self-realisation (spiritual awakening) with a series of attendant psychological disturbances throughout our lives.
- Psychospiritual development describes the inner workings of the Self through a series of awakenings to the purposes of the Self and its ‘intentionality’.
- The process of that development calls the Self to awaken through the confrontation with its existential dilemmas in our personal and professional lives.
- The resolution of narcissistic dilemmas is the ‘stuff’ of the psychological journey as our history gives way to the Being becoming Self-directed. From the Will being bound in survival dynamics to being freed to choose a life whereby the Self is in service of the whole.
- The commitment to inner development serves to transform the ground (consciousness) towards becoming increasingly ‘enlightened’ as the mind is realigned with the Spiritual.
Out of this Course lies a programme of professional development embodying psychosynthesis principles.
The Course at the Heart of the Institute
Experiential Learning
Over the years the Institute has developed a method of facilitated learning that integrates the excitement and stimulation of direct experience with the focus depth and direction that comes from a thorough understanding of ideas. The training environment is not only for the training of the professional, but also, and of utmost importance, for the training of the individual.
Transformative Learning
Our programs have evolved over 50 years, blending experiential learning from the 1970s with modern academic and professional excellence. This approach offers a roadmap for training, combining psychospiritual development with supervised practice. We work in groups, creating training communities that mirror the world. This reflective, inner-directed work is always grounded, leading to real-life transformation as a direct outcome of the course.
The personal...
We offer a program focused on exploring the inner world and spiritual journey of the individual, addressing both spiritual realisations and related psychological challenges. Emphasizing mindful self-reflection, self-awareness, and compassion, the training creates a supportive group environment for deep, sensitive exploration. Participants learn to stay present and embody their experiences, gaining insight into complex psychological dynamics and transforming personal and ancestral histories that may hinder their ability to engage fully with the present.
...and the professional
The Institute training is organised as a modular programme taking into account individual needs for flexibility within a part-time professional training to try to meet the needs, not only of those students who are London based, but also of those who come from other regions of the UK and abroad. We offer a 2.5 year MA in psychosynthesis psychology which forms the basis for all further training in Counselling, Psychotherapeutic Counselling, Psychotherapy. We also run an MA in Psychosynthesis Leadership and Organisational Coaching, with both MA's available with online distance learning options.
