Psychotopology is a science and practice that leads you to reunite with the wisdom of your being through an undervalued and overlooked doorway: feelings, especially feelings stored in the shadow of your psyche.
One dynamic of the dominant culture that leads to the many crises we are facing is the excessive use of our analytical mind and objective faculty, which often manifests as an overly judgmental inner critic. This inner critic causes a separation with the felt-sense of our inner being, and our innate brilliance and wisdom. This separation creates shadows in our psyche – parts of ourselves we reject.
Topology is the science of functional relationships. Psychotopology engages the raw experience of feeling through fieldwork, a simple, elegant mindful inquiry that systematically restores the proper relationship between different parts of ourselves. It acknowledges that our inner wisdom is not monopolized by any single locus of self, but held by the right relationships between many different parts of ourselves.
Through this training, you will develop a new capacity to hold presence in your felt sense of being and allow it to transform beyond the limitations of the egoistic mind. Behind the doors of some of your most feared feeling states, you are likely to discover resources, creativity and wisdom held by parts of your being previously inaccessible to your awareness.
In this course, you will:
- Reunite with the brilliance of your inner being through Psychotopology Fieldwork in one-on-one sessions with either Joe or Spring.
- Empower yourself with Taoist philosophy and ancient way of life in restoring the wisdom of being at the center of your life.
- Practice basic Fieldwork mapping skills both on yourself, and with fellow participants.
- Understand the science and philosophy underlying this work.
- Build community with fellow practitioners to support each other in de-colonizing your being from the tyranny of judgement, criticism and objectification.
- Connect and collaborate with other participants in a supportive and inspiring environment.
- (Optional) Receive a Level One Certificate and integrate this simple and powerful tool into your professional practices.
This course is for you if:
- You desire to shift your life from dominated-by-doing to centered-on-being.
- You want to develop a holistic relationship with feelings, especially the difficult ones such as grief, anger, anxiety and despair.
- You wish to empower your actions in the world with the deeper wisdom of your being.
- You yearn to experience inter-connectedness with a larger whole with your felt-sense and explore how to live from that place.
