Archetypal Psychotherapy and Counseling

The Archetypal Psychotherapy and Counseling Program explores archetypes: their natures, their cycles, their patterns and the ways in which they impact our lives and our world. Here you will study the work of psychologists and mythologists, to understand the evolution of collective beliefs about the psyche and the Soul. This Department has two equal parts: Gnosis and Praxis, inner and outer knowledge. Together they impart wisdom and skills.

Gnosis presents an archetypal perspective on philosophical, historical, mythical and psychological dimensions of human nature; the evolution of consciousness; and the development of culture.

Praxis addresses the practical application of archetypal awareness. Follow the evolution of psychotherapy over the last  hundred  years, examining each discipline and the biography of its founder.  Learn numerous thera­peutic techniques framed within an archetypal perspective.  Discover the deep Soul  patterns running through you, your family and your lineage.
