the soul's journey: foundation year - stage I
The Foundation Year is a certificate course in personal development for those who wish to explore their individual journey as well as providing a solid grounding for the Counselling Diploma training. It offers the student a coherent picture of the psychological process of individuation from the perspective of soul. It provides an experiential methodology for understanding the development of the ego with its expectable life crises from infancy to adulthood.
Each stage of development is explored through mythological stories, group work, imaginal exercises and theoretical models.
This provides students with a foundation from which to give meaning to their lives and, for those wanting further training, to understand and hold suffering in prospective clients.
