Discovering the Psychology of the Future

A FREE VIDEO EVENT

With Co-Founder & One of the Chief Theoreticians of Transpersonal Psychology
Stanislav Grof, MD, PhD

Access the power of non-ordinary states and shamanic consciousness to transform your life.

Open to new insights in psychology and spirituality that are profoundly effective in creating lasting healing and growth for yourself and others.

Psychology has for too long reduced us to our lowest common denominators. Much of the depth, power, and inspiration we experience at the core of our lives has been written off, with consciousness dismissed as a mere “epi-phenomenon” of the brain, and scientists focusing primarily on behavior and cognition.

Fortunately, research at the leading edge of psychology has opened a portal into an exciting new realm of possibilities that validates many of the insights of history’s great spiritual teachers — and leads us into a deeper, more accurate and empowering view of ourselves.

In this paradigm, consciousness is not limited to your body or even to your singular life. You can expand your identity to a cosmic scale, explore other dimensions, and access information from what appear to be past lives.

We are not limited by time, space, and causality in the way we once thought.

Dr. Stan Grof has been one of the earliest and most accomplished pioneers of these realms through his decades of legal research into the therapeutic use of psychedelics and his innovative understanding of non-ordinary states of consciousness based on experiential forms of psychotherapy, as well as studies of art, shamanism, and myth.

From this work has emerged a new “cartography” of the human psyche that accounts for our birth experiences as well as transpersonal domains more typically explored by shamans and healers.

By exploring these new understandings, you gain a deeper appreciation for your potential, a more profound vision for your life, and an expanded toolkit for clearing old traumas from both your psyche and body.

Grof’s brilliant mind and encyclopedic knowledge of the various schools of psychology enabled him to piece everything together into one coherent whole. Out of his many decades integrating the insights, research, and practices of transformational traditions from around the world, he’s developed a unique and empowering vision of the psychology of the future.

This view ultimately liberates you from limited ideas of who you truly are.

Join him for a unique hour to explore this new paradigm and its implications for your personal growth and any transformational work you may do with others.

In this hour-long free online event, you’ll:

How accessing the power of non-ordinary states allows us to develop a new understanding of shamanic consciousness (which help us go beyond talk therapy into life-changing experiences)
How to work with the “inner healer” as a compass to guide us into the precise next step we need in our journey of growth
An expanded map of psyche and cosmos, including the nature and role of transpersonal experiences
The importance of our birth experience in setting the foundation for our growth and development (and why clearing birth trauma can be so powerful for healing)
The fascinating implications of this research for understanding our place in the “cosmic game”
And so much more...

What People Are Saying About Stanislav Grof, MD, PhD...

“... a basis for a whole new strategy of research.”

I know of no work that so well incorporates the findings of Freud, Jung, and Rank, adding fresh insights, which the methods of those psychotherapists could never have achieved. I do not doubt that many others working in this field would find Dr. Grof’s discoveries a basis for a whole new strategy of research.

Author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces

“Grof marshals an impressive array of data...”

Grof marshals an impressive array of data and speculation in support of the timely demand that Western science acknowledge consciousness and its many non-ordinary states.

Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), PhD
Psychologist, spiritual teacher, and author of the spiritual classic, Be Here Now

“Grof has had far and away more experience in psychedelic research...”

Grof has had far and away more experience in psychedelic research than anyone else and has come up with the most comprehensive and helpful framework for interpreting the data in this bewildering area.

“Tarnas writes lucidly, brilliantly, passionately...”

Tarnas writes lucidly, brilliantly, passionately, unfolding the great drama of the evolution of the Western mind act by act, scene by scene in precise and scholarly detail.

Anne Baring
Author of Resurgence

“...so valuable to our ever-expanding understanding of the human psyche...”

I feel privileged to have had an opportunity to be a part of these conversations with two well-respected pioneers and experts in this exciting field. Grof and Tarnas’ experience and their deep understanding of these concepts, transmitted so articulately, is so valuable to our ever-expanding understanding of the human psyche and its relationship with the cosmos.

“I feel more at peace with myself and less of an outsider.”

I feel more at peace with myself and less of an outsider. Grof and Tamas are building a bridge connecting the scientific, rational, male-dominant world with the new world of higher consciousness.
