Women’s Depth Journey Weekend: The Eupsychia Process

Friday - Sunday
October 16 - 18
Optional pre-workshop activities Thursday, October 15
Drawing on fields of transpersonal psychology, addiction recovery, somatic psychology, and the arts, the training behind this work is holistic and experiential. This weekend is designed for women seeking healing and transformation. Our purpose is to aid an evolutionary shift, in both individual and collective consciousness, away from pathologizing and towards a greater sense of Self.
The word “Eupsychia” (“you-sigh-key-ah”) was coined in 1962 by Abraham Maslow, the father of self-actualization theory and one of the founders of transpersonal psychology. It comes from the Greek language, with “eu” meaning good (i.e. euphoria) and “psyche” meaning mind or soul. So it means good psyche, or wellness of the inner being.
We see distress symptoms as a call to heal dysfunction, addictions, trauma and other wounding while simultaneously awakening the latent spiritual aspiration that exists in us all. Our process goes well with other methods of therapy people are utilizing. We honor all psychological schools and the various religious/spiritual paths our participants espouse.
Depth Journey workshops attract seekers and professionals looking for a sacred community of like-minded souls. In an environment of loving support, we are committed to this process of Self-discovery and a shift to higher, more integrated ways of living and serving. Finding one’s true purpose and authentic life’s work for the greater good is an integral part of the process.
Founded by Jacquelyn Small, LMSW, Eupsychia Institute certifies facilitators to utilize a powerful technique called Integrative Breathwork (an evocative musical journey utilizing breath). Participants access a non-ordinary state of consciousness where patterns may be illuminated and healed, meaning may be discovered, and one’s inner wisdom may be accessed. This workshop counts toward introductory hours with the certification program. (Learn more at www.eupsychia.com.)

In addition to their professional training, Carolyn and Patricia helped found Northshore Rising Sun Sangha, a group of practitioners following the Zen tradition of world peace activist and teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, whom they have studied with at Magnolia Grove Monastery. These teachings and practices will be reflected in the retreat. Women of all (or no) religious backgrounds are welcome and will be honored. It is not necessary to be interested in becoming Buddhist to benefit from learning these mindfulness practices. In fact, most women find that their existing spiritual/ religious path is enhanced.
