THE TRAINING

 

The training delivers a programme that is contextualised by an in-depth exploration of the inner world of the individual and their existential and soul’s journey; a journey towards the realisation of a spiritual reality as well as the exploration of the psychological disturbances consequent to that realisation.

 

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. While committed to rigorous professional and academic outcomes, the training environment is not only the training of the professional, but also, and in fact a priori, the training of the individual. It does so through learning the processes of Self reflection, through coming to understand how to be in right relationship with others and through clarifying choices which arise as we try to make sense of what is often a bewildering world.

 

We come to understand inner psychological dynamics and develop the capacity to transform the history of both ourselves at an individual level and that of our forebears. This has value because we often find ourselves as inheritors of a psychological past which leaves us unable to respond to the spirit of our times.

 

 

 

 

Psychosynthesis is a psychology of hope, with its eye not only on history, but also on a purposeful future giving individuals the capacity to reorient their lives in the direction of meaning and values.

 

The Institute offers two ten-month long training tracks each year, one running from October – July and the second from January - December with a break in August and September. It 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.

 

The Institute is now interviewing candidates for the Spring intake. See details of the Fundamentals Course – held in January, February and March – for the prerequisite course for entry into the training.
