Course descriptionThis course starts by exploring how ongoing shifts in consciousness and world views, or paradigms, have opened possibilities for a fuller understanding of the holistic dimensions (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual) within human life and how those dimensions relate to and influence each other. From that context, participants will draw upon recent interdisciplinary research and their own experiences in spirituality and counselling to identify areas of mutuality, challenge, and collaboration in the evolutionary move toward personal, collective, and global healing.
