Psychology from the inside out
|
In this experiential class, we will explore psychology together by turning our attention inward to become acquainted with our own inner landscape. Working with each other and the practice of mindfulness, we will engage in creative experiential exercises to discover and explore our own particular thoughts, feelings and beliefs. We will be able to experience firsthand how we perceive and relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us. We will also tap into the mind-body connection -a powerful resource for self-awareness, health and well-being. We will be guided by a range of mind-body approaches to the study of psychology- from CBT – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Hakomi mind-body therapy, from Attachment theory to Carl Jung’s Depth psychology. |
