Psychosynthesis Online Training Programs
I offer two year-long online courses for individual study to meet the needs of people who live in areas with no nearby psychosynthesis center, and/or others who prefer to work at their own pace and schedule:
- Personal & Spiritual Psychosynthesis
- Guiding Skills
I also offer mentoring/supervision for people who have studied psychosynthesis and want support in using its principles and methods in their work.
Personal & Spiritual Psychosynthesis and Guiding Skills each consist of twelve study assignments, including readings and exercises for self-exploration, and the student’s written responses and reflections submitted for extensive feedback by email, followed by an hour’s consultation by phone or Zoom. Each lesson takes about a month to complete.

What is Psychosynthesis?
Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal psychology based on the work of Roberto Assagioli, M.D. (1888-1974) that seeks to integrate all the dimensions of human life: physical, emotional, mental, interpersonal, social, ecological, and spiritual.
