Weekday Group (Thurs/Fri)

We explore the shaping of suffering itself and the nature of process that obscures and inhibits our capacity to rest in a more open, compassionate and free experience.  This exploration is supported by group work, meditation, our own therapeutic work as well as talks and experiential exploration on the training. We seek to integrate a wide range of theory into our year to help deepen this exploration. This includes looking at trauma and attachment theory as well as psychodynamic and object relations theory. We also take a deep dive into systemic theories around culture, race, gender and class as well as historical and evolutionary perspectives and our relationship to planet and the non-human environment. We complete the year by exploring transpersonal territories of ‘being’ through mythological and Buddhist perspectives.  

It is our hope that the year will offer you a deep dive into what it means to be human and an experiential journey into the centrality of relationship that is at the heart of life. We open up to these relational processes both as the place in which we experience so much pain and as the place in which the potential for a deeper expression of freedom and love is available to us all.

If you are already practicing as a Psychotherapist or Counsellor then it is our hope that this year would really offer you a chance to integrate our work into your practice and allow you the benefit of a depth Relational Mindfulness embodiment within your work.
