Spiritual Counseling 1 Scci

Catalog description

This course explores - through experience and reflection - the meaning, purpose, and practice of the transformative art of spiritual counseling. This inquiry unfolds within a creative dialogue between global wisdom traditions, depth psychology, and current trends in mindfulness-based and transpersonal therapeutic approaches, providing a foundation for a spiritual counseling paradigm and practice. Throughout the semester, students embark upon a threefold path that includes a) developing mindfulness-based listening skills and deep presence for working with clients seeking spiritual counseling b) a personal inquiry into their own psycho-spiritual development and paradigms and c) an exploration of various existential topics that are deemed significant for the spiritual counseling context. Restricted registration to EWP and EACTS students.
