24 April –  Presence: Self and Other – Prof Robert Romanyshyn

Mzerleau-Ponty emphasises that Self and Other mirror each. A phenomenology of the mirror experience shows how this experience reveals the other as myself and myself as other. We do infect each other with meaning!

This phenomenological self enquiry is a full immersion into existential theory and depth psychology through an innovative combination of lectures and exercises specially designed to “bring to life” the following key topics:

Prof. Robert Romanyshyn was the first non-analyst to be elected as an Affiliate Member of The Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts based upon his scholarly contributions to Jungian psychology. A Fellow of the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture, he co-founded in 1972 an interdisciplinary program in existential-phenomenological psychology and literature at the University of Dallas.

These Master Workshops provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at our practise and re-view assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist.

“Group supervision sessions seek to provide participants with a safe, yet challenging, space, to consider and address the issues that arise for them when discussing their own, or another participant’s, experience of being a therapist. They provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at their practise and re-view their assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist and doing therapy. Group supervision can be a valuable and enriching experience for all participants since even though the focus may be on a particular supervisee’s account, it is likely that all participants will discover broader issues and concerns that resonate with their own encounters with clients.” Prof. Ernesto Spinelli

Our supervision groups draw upon the ways in which existential-phenomenology and depth psychology supplement each other and deepen our practice of psychotherapy.

Description:
These six Master Workshops explore some of the basic questions about being a psychotherapist and the practice of psychotherapy. Before psychotherapy is a profession it is a vocation and one of the primary issues for a psychotherapist is to deepen on a continuous basis one’s understanding of what has called one into this life of being a wounded healer. Beyond the necessary skills one has to learn and master, a psychotherapist has to cultivate the difficult art of learning how to listen in such a way that opens a dialogue not only between patient and therapist, but also with the other in oneself.
In this regard, group supervision is a fundamental part of a therapist’s continuing education in the art of dialogue. A group setting is an opportunity to pause and step back to hear how colleagues practice this difficult art of listening with the third ear. In addition, a group setting fosters a sense of community for this art, whose roots tap into the sense of the sacred character of encounter and the ways in which silence plays a key role in dialogue.

Dates and Time: Saturdays from 2pm to 5pm (UK time)

26 June – Embodied Mind – Prof Robert Romanyshyn

Embodied-Mind undercuts the dualism of a subjective mind and objective matter/body. We see, as Merleau-Ponty notes, because we are seeable. An aesthetic bond and erotic field of desire exists between the sensual flesh and the sensuous world.

Our supervision groups draw upon the ways in which existential-phenomenology and depth psychology supplement each other and deepen our practice of psychotherapy.

Description:
These six Master Workshops explore some of the basic questions about being a psychotherapist and the practice of psychotherapy. Before psychotherapy is a profession it is a vocation and one of the primary issues for a psychotherapist is to deepen on a continuous basis one’s understanding of what has called one into this life of being a wounded healer. Beyond the necessary skills one has to learn and master, a psychotherapist has to cultivate the difficult art of learning how to listen in such a way that opens a dialogue not only between patient and therapist, but also with the other in oneself.
In this regard, group supervision is a fundamental part of a therapist’s continuing education in the art of dialogue. A group setting is an opportunity to pause and step back to hear how colleagues practice this difficult art of listening with the third ear. In addition, a group setting fosters a sense of community for this art, whose roots tap into the sense of the sacred character of encounter and the ways in which silence plays a key role in dialogue.

He has also published poems, numerous articles in psychology, philosophy, education and literary journals and wrote a one act play about Frankenstein.

23 October – From Space to Place – Prof Robert Romanyshyn

We do not live in space. On the contrary, the human body is the power to transform spaces into places where we more often than not unconsciously incarnate the characters in stories of which we are a part, an approach with many implications for psychotherapy and dream work.

This phenomenological self enquiry is a full immersion into existential theory and depth psychology through an innovative combination of lectures and exercises specially designed to “bring to life” the following key topics:

“Group supervision sessions seek to provide participants with a safe, yet challenging, space, to consider and address the issues that arise for them when discussing their own, or another participant’s, experience of being a therapist. They provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at their practise and re-view their assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist and doing therapy. Group supervision can be a valuable and enriching experience for all participants since even though the focus may be on a particular supervisee’s account, it is likely that all participants will discover broader issues and concerns that resonate with their own encounters with clients.” Prof. Ernesto Spinelli

13 November – Selves-in-relation— Prof Ernesto Spinelli

Western assumptions regarding self tend to isolate each self such that it appears to us and can be defined as separate and distinct to other selves. Existential phenomenology proposes a view of self that is always and inevitably in relation. This interplay between “I” and “not-I” provides a very different view and understanding of self.

This phenomenological self enquiry is a full immersion into existential theory and depth psychology through an innovative combination of lectures and exercises specially designed to “bring to life” the following key topics:

11 December – Time: Memory and Imagination – Prof Robert Romanyshyn

Clock time is a measure of the linear sense of time. Lived time, as phenomenology describes it, is a vertical spiral in which every present moment carries a creative capacity to remember the past in light of imagining a future and vice versa. This capacity is the foundation of human freedom with implications for psychotherapy.
