In these critical times, we need new forms of education and a new generation of change agents who have a genuine appreciation for the inner and outer dimensions of healthy, sustainable transformation. In this workshop participants will explore the relevance of essential insights from transpersonal psychology and the wisdom of contemplative traditions concerning the nature of mind in their own lives. Through a unique inquiry exercise, participants will discover personal and collective patterns of thought that often function to limit creativity and freedom. Carried forward into life, these guided cognitive and reflective tools improve attention, emotional regulation and transform automatic responses to the world from a reactive mode to a more reflective mode.
