2007 Classes by Subject: Dreaming, Shamanism and Spirituality

Dreaming Mind in Body Symptoms
From an eternal viewpoint symptoms are not only a disturbance but a powerful way to discover our wholeness and multifaceted selves. We will learn and practice methods that work with somatic problems in experiential ways. Heartfulness and wonder allow us to explore our unique gifts that are encoded in ourbodies. When we live closer to the mysterious force behind our symptoms we discover insights that canguide us in transforming health issues and our connections to others.

Clay in the Hands of the Spirit – Inner Work and Supervision
Native Americans know that life is a spirit journey, where every experience becomes meaningful when we understand its timeless teaching. We will use this approach to accelerate and deepen our learning, our work with clients, our inner work and how to make transference and counter-transference experience more meaningful for both sides. The class has dyads, one-on-one fishbowl supervision and inner work exercises. For everyone interested in working or training as a therapist, facilitator or coach or simply interested in the meaning of their lives.

Sitting in the Lotus and Becoming Enlightened: Metaskills, Buddhism & Process Work
The beautiful lotus lives and grows in the mud. This central symbol of Buddhist practice depicts the para dox between enlightenment and the difficulties of everyday life we encounter (judgment, fear, fury, revenge, jealousy). As the lotus unfolds the heart awakens and magic happens. We’ll apply Buddhist teachings to our inner and outer experiences as process workers, connecting with the metaskills or feeling attitudes thatunderlie our abilities as practitioners and potentially enlightened beings.
