Have you been looking for a deeper kind of psychology that includes the higher realms of mystical experiences?
Then you’re ready for transpersonal psychology, which builds upon our “personal” psychology to include more advanced states of consciousness — as well as exciting new areas to explore in an “adventure of self-discovery.”
When you begin to open to the deeper dimensions of your psyche, you uncover a new world of understanding… from seeing how your body holds energy around physical traumas… to appreciating how your birth experiences give you the “template” for how you navigate challenges… to opening to transpersonal guidance for your daily life.
If you’ve been intrigued by phenomena such as psychic experiences, past-life memories, experiences of spiritual awakening, lucid dreaming, breathwork or shamanic journeying, you’re naturally curious about the very realms that this “future psychology” aims to explore in a scientifically grounded and credible way.
Opening a New Portal
Conventional psychology has for too long reduced us to our lowest-common denominators. Much of the spiritual depth, power and inspiration we cherish at the core of our lives has been written off by psychologists who focus 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 to 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 even access information from what appears to be past lives.
You are not limited by time, space and causality in the way we once thought.
Furthermore, when we integrate methods of accessing non-ordinary states of consciousness, as shamans have done for thousands of years, we open to far more powerful, experiential and accelerated methods of healing and growth.
In a particularly powerful experience, we might pass through waves of profound grief from our early childhood, intense emotions associated with birth, and the ecstasy of experiencing oneness with the Divine.
In undertaking these journeys into your depths, you can release old traumas, free up your emotions, access expanded wisdom, and set a new, unitive baseline for your life.
In short, the “future of psychology” will be built by those who are willing to pioneer new methods for healing that transcend the limits of cognitive insights and allow us to access our full potential as human beings. It will be holistic, experiential and profound.
A Brilliant Pioneer to Guide You
Stanislav 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 based on experiential forms of psychotherapy.
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 this new map of reality, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your potential, a more profound vision for your life, and an expanded toolkit for clearing old traumas from both your psyche and your body.
Out of his many decades spent integrating the insights, research and practices of transformational traditions from around the world, Stan’s developed a unique and empowering vision of the psychology of the future.
His brilliant mind and encyclopedic knowledge of the various schools of psychology enabled him to piece everything together into one coherent whole.
This view ultimately liberates you from limited ideas of who you truly are.
And now, for the first time, Stan is distilling a lifetime of mind-expanding explorations into a cohesive, online course — highlighted by video sessions — in which you’ll expand your understanding of healing, personal evolution and the nature of the cosmos.
The Best of a New Paradigm
When you join Stan for the 7-module Future of Psychology program, you’ll have a unique opportunity to explore this new paradigm and its implications — not only for your own personal growth but also for any transformational work you may do with others.
You’ll discover more about how accessing the power of non-ordinary states allows you to develop a deeper understanding of shamanic practices (which help you move beyond talk therapy into life-changing experiences).
You’ll learn how to work with your “inner healer” as a compass to guide you into the precise next steps you need in your journey of growth.
You’ll expand your view of your psyche and our cosmos and understand the nature and role of transpersonal experiences (which can also help you avoid pathologizing truly liberating experiences). And you’ll see how conscious breath practices offer some of the most potent pathways to personal freedom.
You’ll also gain powerful insights into the importance of your birth experience in setting the foundation for your growth and development (and why clearing birth trauma can be so powerful for your healing).
If you’re a clinician, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of suicide, depression, spiritual crises (“spiritual emergencies”) and the power of death and rebirth experiences.
Simply put, you’ll be amazed at Dr. Grof’s profound knowledge and how his bold new vision transcends more limited views of psychology and spirit. This invigorating program will give you a far deeper understanding of the cosmos and our role in it.
