THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HEARTSELF-INTELLIGENCETHE ART OF INITIATING PEACE
We are living in an extraordinary moment in time. Opportunities for a profound change in individual and global consciousness are within reach. Globalisation, climate change, terrorism, world economic crisis are challenging issues that can catapult us into developing new and exciting perspectives of peaceful dynamic cooperation. They provide means and tools for giving birth to a different reality now that the old ways of problem solving are no longer meaningful.

The challenge provides us an opportunity for becoming aware of our interconnectedness and of being embedded in humanity as a whole, which in turn depend on sustenance and nourishment by our planetary being.

Not only do a person’s attitudes, beliefs, emotions, thoughts and actions affect and influence collective events and global change, a change in one also has an impact on the others. This change does not take place outside of me as a person. I am the change and thus bring about this change. You and I initiate this change. We carry within ourselves the potential of a different future that needs to be embodied through us. The values I live and express in actions are the outward expression. Recognizing and accepting my power of conscious choice to align myself with this innate potential activates change and initiates peace.

THE ART OF INITIATING PEACE training is composed of seven seminars. Each seminar invites you to expand your consciousness looking through the heartSelf-Intelligence, from the indivudual perspective to the group, collective, humanity, and planetary perspectives and back to discover the actual changes taking place in your brain and body structures. The transpersonal psychological approach, process work, research, discussion, lecture, meditation, and work in dyads are integrated with tools and skills training which are critical for successfully facing global change and initiate peace.

SEMINAR FRAME: Seminar One is a core seminar and the basis for all the others. Seminars One, Two and Three can be taken independently of the rest of the full training. Each seminar consists of three days.
