Psychosynthesis & Ashtanga Yoga during Midsummer
With David Ward and Stefan Engström the 20th -22nd of June, 2008.

June 20th - 22nd .The fee is 170 Euro.
All levels are welcome.
This weekend you can try Psychosynthesis as an optional program. The extra fee for the
Psychosynthesis is 80 Euros.

During this weekend David will explain the principles of Psychosynthesis and Soul Psychology and how this system was designed by Assagioli to integrate and include different spiritual paths and belief patterns, without being aligned to any one religion or group.
We will see how the many paths to spiritual transformation have the same goal but that this is often expressed differently. We will be looking at the language that has developed around spiritual and personal growth and will simplify this.
We will also see that the easiest and most powerful route to transformation is through the development of kindness. We will look at the fear some people have of expressing kindness and how this differs across cultures. We will look at the resistances to being “Kind to Ourselves”

The two days will be full of practical exercises and visualisations (about 10 hours of Psychosynthesis and 5 hours of Ashtanga Yoga). There will be lots of time for discussion and sharing. Individual sessions will also be available.
Above all, in line with the principles of Soul Psychology the weekend will be great fun to do and full of joy. For more information regarding Psychosynthesis have a look at www.soulpsychology.fi or call David on +358 50 3310580.
