By fostering your own personal growth and education, our Master’s program will help you to find your niche in guiding and supporting others and in teaching Grof’s important work in the social and academic worlds.

​

We will guide you through every stage in the process. You will be required to take several core courses and will also have the freedom to design the rest of your program in consultation with us. Students can select elective courses either from our suggested list or from another training or college. This means that if there is a course you need to take that is offered through another institution, you are free to do so.

The Power of Myth and Archetype

4-week online course with Mari Castle, PhD. November 21-December 12th, 2 pm EST.

Joseph Campbell firmly believed myths provide clues to our spiritual potential and that we should trust our inner guidance to understand the meaning of life not based solely on the external world but on the internal as well. Carl Jung's discovery of archetypes as images or symbols help us gain a deeper knowledge of the Self through identification. Together, along with holotropic states of consciousness, these powerful concepts can expand one's perspective to develop a deeper sense of wholeness. Cost: $198 or $150 if paid by October 20th.

Connecting Nature With Our Inner God and Goddess

4-week on-line course with Mari Castle, PhD in April of 2024.
