CALL OF THE SEED: MAPPING THE CO-EVOLUTION OF PSYCHE AND SPIRIT

Hillevi Ruumet, Ph.D., Transpersonal Psychologist

The “seed” of Self with which we are born is always straining toward the path of psycho-spiritual wholeness and transcendence. Based on her book Pathways of the Soul, Dr Ruumet uses the Eastern Chakra system as a symbolic framework for outlining this path’s successive stages and mindscapes, and for explaining “return cycles” of “regression in the service of transcendence.” Through experiential exercises designed to personalize and ground the conceptual framework presented on Friday, Saturday’s workshop will explore the path of inner development as well as possible applications on the interpersonal and collective levels. This workshop is aimed at those committed to consciousness evolution and psychological individuation beyond conventional parameters, including the co-evolution of spiritual and psychological wellness. Psychotherapists will be able to address practice-related issues.

Learning Objectives: Following the completion of this program, participants will be able to:

1. Understand a model of psycho-spiritual development grounded in transpersonal psychology

and how it may inform one’s personal life and, in the case of clinicians, the lives of

clients, especially with spiritual “seekers”;

2. Understand what is meant by psycho-spiritual wholeness and transcendence;

3. Comprehend how the Eastern Chakra system serves as a useful symbolic framework for

psycho- spiritual wholeness;

4. Understand the stages of the path of psycho-spiritual wholeness and transcendence in one’s

own life and in the lives of clients;

5. Demonstrate knowledge of “return cycles” of “regression in the service of transcendence”;

6. Apply specific Chakra exercises for inner development of this symbolic framework in one’s

own life and in the lives of clients;

7. Utilize specific practices that will deepen understanding of how one’s inner development

impacts interpersonal and possibly collective wholeness with different people across

one’s own life and clients’ lives; and

8. Support personal insights and inner work in the therapist as a conduit for healing and

conscious evolution.
