Human Dimension of Psychotherapy Conference

July 18 - 20, 2008
Hart House, University of Toronto, Canada

The traditions of humanistic, existential, psychodynamic, transpersonal and somatic psychology have a long history affirming the complex holism of the human experience. These 'alternatives' to manualized, outcome oriented therapies have a substantial academic and professional history, integrating the complex dimensions of being human. How do we bring each individual into full presence? How do we integrate this clinical knowledge into 21st century psychotherapy?

Join us as we rally to affirm the 'gems' of these traditions within the political 'setting' of the new legislation for psychotherapy regulation in Ontario.

The Living Institute and The Associations for Humanistic and Transpersonal Psychology announce a new Toronto energy centre

The Living Institute is in the process of establishing a local chapter, or 'energy centre', of the conjoined Association for Humanistic Psychology (AHP, www.ahpweb.org) and Association for Transpersonal Psychology (ATP, www.atpweb.org). Both these internationally connected associations develop projects and activities that serve the evolution of individuals, society and culture, based on the themes of interdependence with each other and the natural world. This conjoined AHP/ATP centre has a psychotherapy focus, making it especially relevant to the current political situation regarding the new regulation of psychotherapy in Ontario.

Cosmos and Psyche - Transforming the Modern World

April 18 - 20, 2008
A workshop with Richard Tarnas

We are living at the end of an era. The old structures of the world are cracking apart, the moment of creative chaos is upon us, and the drama of our time has become a great question: What new principles and organizing structures will emerge to shape our future? Everything is at stake, from the deep ecology of our planetary biosphere to the deep ecology of the human spirit.
