Description
Description: Science and spirituality meet in this keynote. Drawing on her background as a cancer cell biologist and her work in behavioral medicine, Borysenko explores intuition, positive emotions, contemplative practice, and what she calls the “soul’s compass.” Blending neuroscience, story, and guided reflection, she invites therapists to consider guidance not as dogma, but as an embodied experience of presence, love, and aliveness that can orient both clinical work and personal life.
Syllabus Description: There is no map for becoming a fully human being, but there is a soul's compass. Orienting to true north requires interior freedom, curiosity and moment -to-moment awareness. The means to uncovering these intrinsic aspects of self, and the blocks to their recognition, are intrinsic to all the world's wisdom traditions.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe how the use of the metaphor of the soul's compass helps clients understand the difference between passive and active agency.
- To list three classic methods discernment useful in letting go of habitual egoic patterns.
