Buddhist Psychology: The Essence

Modern psychotherapy and traditional Buddhist practice share the same root goal: liberation from the suffering that afflicts so much of humanity on a day-to-day basis. However, Buddhist psychology offers a different perspective than the tradition of Freud and Jung—one that begins from a person’s innate worth and nobility rather than pigeonholing them through a stigmatizing diagnosis. Join Jack Kornfield to explore:

• How the tenets of Buddhist psychology provide a powerful complement to Western psychotherapy
• Teaching stories about transcending our histories, becoming curious about our thoughts, and holding ourselves in loving awareness
• How the experience of suffering can give rise to empathy and compassion
• The foundations of inner practices such as mindfulness, forgiveness, self-compassion, and lovingkindness

A Spiritual and Psychological Approach to Healing the Wounds That Shatter: The Hidden Gift in Trauma

Trauma often sets off a “firecracker in the soul,” leading to ego fragmentation and disconnection from self, others, God or Source, grounding, and one’s own body awareness. Diane will discuss the gradual ego erosion of our defensive or distorted identity that comes as a benefit from chosen spiritual practices, in contrast to the unexpected, choice-less fast track that trauma survivors experience. Trauma often throws us into spiritual states quickly, and we may risk spiritual bypass without embodiment. We will look at what is needed for healing disconnection while providing access to and integration of the depths of our human journey that truly supports transformation of the Soul. Join Diane to explore:

• Trauma for the impatient soul—fast access to spiritual dimensions of experience
• Fragmentation—highly charged pieces that need time and attention to access and discharge
• Trauma stops time—moving frozen memory through time
• Tracking in the body—excavating implicit memory toward explicit so the brain can shift
• Reintroducing threats, managing arousal, and completing threat sequence to extinguish the symptom

Three Selves on the Journey to Growing Up and Waking Up

Eastern contemplative traditions and conventional psychology each recognize two selves. The Eastern traditions acknowledge a finite ego, and an Infinite or Real Self. Western psychology, on the other hand, takes the ego and further distinguishes between an authentic and accurate healthy ego and an inaccurate, dysfunctional persona. Ideally, we would recognize all three selves on the journey to Growing Up and Waking Up. While spiritual traditions help us Awaken to our infinite and Selfless nature, conventional psychology guides us in processing and integrating our repressed Shadow contents to become whole and healthy people. In truth, working with all three selves is absolutely essential for a healthy and fruitful path to human maturation and flourishing. In this session, Ken covers:

• Why in Western psychology we grow up but don’t wake up
• Why in Eastern spirituality we wake up but often fail to grow up
• How by working with all three selves we can Grow Up to become whole and healthy human beings while Waking Up to our infinite and transpersonal nature

Ken Wilber is one of the most influential and widely read American philosophers of our time. He is the originator of Integral Theory, a comprehensive philosophy that incorporates cultural studies, anthropology, systems theory, developmental psychology, biology, and spirituality. Ken’s writing has been translated into more than 20 languages. He is the author of many books, including The Spectrum of Consciousness; The Eye of Spirit; Grace and Grit; Sex, Ecology, Spirituality; A Brief History of Everything; Boomeritis; and The Marriage of Sense and Soul. Ken Wilber lives in Denver, Colorado.

Actualizing True Nature: Union of Awareness-Emptiness and Our Human Condition

In order to integrate our experiences of our lives and pure being, or reality as it is, we need to be fully open to our ourselves and our world—to our humanness. We need to understand our human self and be in contact with it so that our conditioned patterns don’t block realization. Modalities such as psychotherapy or Diamond Heart work can help with this. The human psyche will not open to pure being if it is too scared, confused, or aggressive. The process of therapy or inquiry can bring substantial healing and insight in order to liberate confused patterns. Spiritual practice cuts through confusion, give us glimpses into the reality of what is, of who we truly are—the unity of wisdom and love, spontaneous awakened presence. This helps us actualize full awakening. The union of spiritual and psychological methods speeds our understanding, unfoldment, and full actualization. Lama Palden explores:

• The benefits of combining spiritual and psychological work
• Today’s unprecedented wealth of methods and support for awakening
• How our humanness is an integral aspect of our awakening

She is the founding teacher of Sukhasiddhi Foundation in Marin County, a Tibetan Buddhist center in the Shangpa and Kagyu lineages. Lama Palden has a deep interest in helping to make the teachings and practices of Vajrayana Buddhism accessible and practical for Westerners in order to help students actualize our innate wisdom, love, and joy.

As a teacher, Lama Palden is committed to each student’s unique unfolding and blossoming. In 1993, Palden completed a master’s degree in counseling psychology at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley. After licensing as a psychotherapist, she engaged in facilitating clients’ psychospiritual integration and development through bringing together understandings and methods from Buddhism and psychology, as well as from the Diamond Heart work that she engaged with and trained in for many years.

The Heart of Psychospiritual Work

In Robert Augustus Masters’s work, the psychological, spiritual, emotional, and somatic coexist. He doesn’t conduct psychotherapy and then bring in spirituality, but rather allows both to operate as one intuitive unfolding. Here, Masters explores the process, touching on turning toward pain, Shadow work, spiritual bypassing, and emotional healing. Robert explains:

• Psychospiritual work: psychotherapy and spirituality working as one
• Turning toward our pain: an essential evolutionary step
• How Shadow work connects psychotherapy and spirituality
• Emotional literacy and deepening: the relevance of emotional work
• Cutting through spiritual bypassing

Why Meditation and Psychotherapy Need Each Other

Long-term meditators who have been in therapy know how psychotherapy can support the process of spiritual development, yet they tend to attribute their positive growth entirely to meditative practice. Therapy clients often long for a spiritual dimension to address life’s deepest questions and losses, but shy away from anything that smacks of religion. How do these two paths fit together? What does psychotherapy informed by spiritual work and meditative awareness look like? How can meditation teaching be informed by the insights of Western psychology? Meditation, psychotherapy, and daily mindfulness practice can create a powerful synergy. Through practices that are both psychological and spiritual, we can access the rich and intimate world of our being. Through the willingness to learn, to know our life just as it is, we can enter the vastness and mystery of love at the heart of the universe. This session invites you to learn more about:

• The creative synergy of psychotherapeutic work and meditation practice
• The drawbacks of practicing one discipline without the other
• How meditation practice and psychotherapy inform one another

Yoga & Psyche: Integrating the Paths of Yoga and Psychology for Healing, Transformation, and Joy

Has yoga improved your health and expanded your awareness—but emotional and relationship issues continue to challenge you? Or, have you found psychotherapy helpful, yet yearn for vaster spiritual discovery? In this presentation, we will explore these two domains of transformation and how they complement each other—particularly in light of the advancements in somatics, trauma research and healing, and neuroscience—laying the groundwork for a new merging of these two disciplines. When we bring together yoga and psychology, possibilities for growth are awakened within one’s body, deep psyche, and spirit. Together, they form a seamless weave of insights and practices that are applicable in the yoga studio, therapy room, and amid the rush of daily life. Session highlights include:

• Why the integration of yoga and psychology is at the zeitgeist of contemporary spirituality
• How psychological work and yoga practice mutually support each other
• The new possibilities for healing and transformation stemming from developments in somatics, neuroscience, and trauma research
• Participating in the synthesizing of the great traditions of yoga and psychology

The Ultimate Medicine: Nondual Psychotherapy

Nondual therapy blends the intimacy of therapy with the power and vitality of Asia’s nondual wisdom traditions. Nondual therapy is based on the healing power of pure awareness. In Buddhism, nondual awareness is called the “ultimate medicine” because when we rest in this timeless state of pristine awareness, conditioned experiences can no longer detract from our fundamental state of total completion and integrity. Our age, physical and emotional condition, and material circumstances no longer limit us. Nondual healing functions at the “result level” by directly introducing people to the transpersonal dimension of awareness itself. This presentation lays out the essential dimensions of a form of therapy that’s suited to individuals and groups. This form of therapy works in the here and now to dismantle limiting beliefs and constructions about who we are and what is happening in the present moment. Peter explores:

• Creating an environment that’s intimate and warm, yet clear and penetrating at the same time
• Revealing the nature of awareness itself through nondual dialogue and the natural release of dualistic thought
• Working from the result, or acausal, level, gently inviting people to the ground of effortless being
• Nondual inquiry—“seeing through” the dualistic constructions that seem to obscure the presencing of nondual awareness

Fearless Compassion and the Healing of Intergenerational Trauma

There are some traumas that are so devastating that their effects echo across generations. In Aboriginal Focusing-Oriented Therapy, healers will find tools to search for the origin points of intergenerational trauma and address the myriad ways they cause suffering in the present. This is especially important for marginalized communities where persistent oppression causes unique stressors. Here DaRa addresses:

• Strategies for addressing trauma from societal oppression, poverty, and colonialism
• Healing trauma not only in individuals but in greater communities
• The therapy session as a form of ceremony
• A guided visualization for distancing from a difficult person or situation

DaRa Williams is a therapist, wellness coach, and teacher who has been practicing Vipassana meditation for more than 20 years. A graduate of the Spirit Rock Meditation Society teacher training program, DaRa is also on the Board of Directors for the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts.

The Ultimate Cure: The Skillful Use of Opposites in Healing Core Wounds Amidst Spiritual Awakening

Our suffering can’t be resolved by our thinking mind. Nondual therapy is designed to provide access to our innate Wholeness, enabling us to access intuitive wisdom and heal no matter the circumstances. This presentation explores this neuroscientific intervention of working with opposites in order to lead to the ultimate cure—profound health and wholeness. Richard will emphasize:

• How healing proceeds from the ground of unchanging Wholeness
• Recognizing opposites that conceal and reveal health, healing, and Wholeness
• Identifying continuums of opposites for healing and well-being
• The neuroscience involved in working with opposites
• Recognizing core wounds—and how to use them for healing
