Many clients seek therapy in a spiritual crisis. Some feel that life has no meaning or is punishment requiring redemption.

This workshop will show you how we can therapeutically bring about a transformational integration to our mind, body and spirit even at the molecular level. We will demonstrate how therapeutic intervention changes our cells and how this integration of self results in a natural balance, empowering harmony of the self, even in the face of great distress. Genetics do not have to determine our destiny. You will learn, as a holistic practitioner of integrative psychotherapy, how one can alter not only our perspectives and relationships but also our biology.
Is enlightenment possible? We propose Erickson’s naturalistic – utilization therapy and Rossi’s 4-Stage Creative Process are consistent with yoga’s science of self-inquiry, mental dexterity and Buddha’s 4 Noble Truths. We will practice gentle yoga exercise for all fitness levels and share transformational stories of our new neuroscience of mind-body therapy.
