About the School of Spiritual Psychology |
||
|
The School of Spiritual Psychology (SSP) is a private,
non-sectarian school offering courses designed to balance participants'
intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual resources, leading to the
realization of the whole person and the development of professional
leadership. Since 1980, the SSP has offered a variety of classes, seminars
and workshops for individuals wishing to give themselves the gift of self-transformation.
Using experiential methods, students are trained with the techniques of
bioenergetics, Gestalt, neuro-linguistic programming, general and family
systems theory, the Enneagram, breathwork and holistic healing. |

What is Spiritual Psychology? |
||
|
The goal of the true spiritual psychologist is to live with purpose and to join with and inspire others to do the same. |

In a true, classical sense, the term "spiritual psychology" is redundant. The study of the psyche—the personification of the human soul—must be spiritual, that is, "concerned with the animating principle of life." Since our Western scientific heritage has assigned the mind and body to the realm of the measurable and the spirit to the domain of faith, there has been a split in our understanding and approach to these essential aspects of the human phenomenon. The advent of holism as a philosophical tenant in the latter part of 20th century heralded a fundamental shift in consciousness, from linear or causal thinking toward systemic awareness. We can no longer operate with a mechanical model if we are to understand the inter-dimensional realities that allow us so much freedom and expansion of our capabilities. It is critical that we have a psychology that not only admits the existence of the human spirit, but also takes it fully into account in knowing and predicting human behavior. Just as important is for us to have spirituality that incorporates the discoveries we have made about the mind/body connection and how the mind and body mirror and manifest our spiritual intentions. To keep the two realms separate is to keep us split and severely limited in our understanding and treatment of the whole human being. |

Programs apply to my life and work? |

The SSP Certificate and Academic Programs are designed for individuals seeking a professional service career that is spiritually meaningful, as well as for current professionals who want to expand and deepen their traditional skills as a caregiver, educator or administrator. The programs address participants' desire to live a more full life of spirit and have their profession be the ground for ongoing learning, growth and application—such that they are nurtured on all levels by their work. Additionally, students in both programs may elect a Licensure and Certification Track for those seeking credentialing for professional practice. |

Certificate and Academic Programs with a Breathwork Focus |
||
|
Both the SSP's certificate program and academic degrees offer students the opportunity to specialize in the powerful healing modality of breathwork. Coursework, mentorship and field placement at one of several affiliated schools throughout the world lead to certification as a breathwork practitioner. |
