“Embodied Awakening”
Nondual Wisdom and Psychotherapy Conference 2008

November 1 & 2, 2008
California Institute of Integral Studies
1453 Mission Street, San Francisco

$200
$130 Sat/Sun only

Presented by the Association for Transpersonal Psychology
and CIIS’s Integral Counseling Psychology Program
Co-Sponsored by JFK, ITP, and the Center for Timeless Wisdom

Nonduality derives from the Sanskrit word advaita which means “not-two,” referring to the understanding of a fundamental consciousness that underlies the apparent distinction between perceiver and perceived. From the nondual perspective, the split between self and other is a purely mental construct. This understanding, rooted in the direct experience of countless sages through millennia, is at the heart of Hindu Vedanta, most schools of Buddhism, Taoism, and mystical Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.

This annual cutting-edge conference hosts leading therapists and teachers who are exploring the confluence of nondual wisdom and psychotherapy. How does psychotherapy change when therapists and clients awaken to and embody their true nature as open, lucid Awareness that is essentially not separate from the whole of life?
