Join us for the
Spirituality & Psychology Conference 2012
February 17-19, 2012
Menlo College, Atherton, CA
The third ATP-ITP Spirituality & Psychology Conference will bring together clinicians, therapists, spiritual guides, faith-based and healing practitioners, academics, and researchers to explore the promises and pitfalls of the spiritual path. Spiritual freedom and awakening are the goal, but spiritual bypassing and abusive power relationships are also well known perils on the spiritual path. The most recent neuroscientific findings as well the wisdom of spiritual teachers are included in this conference. Join us as we examine the nature of spiritual illusion while we seek the wisdom and health benefits available in spirituality. Keynote speakers Roger Walsh, Shauna Shapiro, Robert Frager, and Jeanne Achterberg will be joined by a host of luminaries including Brant Cortright, Olga Louchakova, David Lukoff, Jim Fadiman, and Arthur Hastings.
The conference includes 3 tracks:
- Spirituality and Culture - This track explores the relationship between culture and spirituality as integral parts of human development, world view, and well-being.
- Research and Spiritual Development - This track focuses on the areas of transpersonally oriented research, including neuroscience, and the cultivation of spiritual emergence and development.
- Spiritually-Oriented Psychotherapy - This track addresses the interface of spirituality and clinical practice including the role of spirituality as a resource for clients and the spiritual practices that are helpful or dysfunctional for specific problems.
In addition to experiential workshops, presentations, and up-to-date applications for psychotherapy, personal growth and social transformation, the conference will offer music, ritual, yoga, meditation, drumming and social networking opportunities. The conference will take place on the beautiful campus of Menlo College in Atherton, California.
Produced by the Association for Transpersonal Psychology and the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology.
