   “Expansive, affirming, hope-filled, integrating, connective, informative, nourishing. It has been a blessing to me to absorb what was presented and to be among people with hearts for healing…trying to live awake.” —A Recent Student

3. “This course provided a much-needed orientation to a disorienting experience, both personally and professionally. The material was presented in a very professional, normalizing manner that served to set a tone that inspires me in talking to other professionals about these matters as if this was just a matter-of-fact discussion – very useful!” —Dan Metevier, PsyD

    Rated 5 out of From Adelson Piñón, PhD.

    Highly recommended! Dr. Emma Bragdon is a world-class figure in the field of transpersonal psychology. Her awesome course will vastly expand your concept of spirituality. The course includes fascinating and engaging webinars, online meet ups, and lots of eye-opening resources such as interviews, documentaries, peer reviewed articles, etc. The list of 20+ recommended books is highly valuable for any serious student. I´ve read many of Emma´s books and found them enjoyable and a great complement to the webinars.

    If you’re interested in spiritual emergence/emergency as an experiencer or as a health care provider, this course is for you! (Dr. Adelson Piñón, Spain)

    I thought there were some great resources given within this training – and I particularly loved the Stanislav Grof framework of 12 sources of spiritual emergence/emergency. A wide range of material was covered, illustrating the various sources of spiritual emergency, which was really helpful.
    I thought there was too much emphasis on the Spiritist model of healing – which is interesting but only one of the available options.
    And I think there could be additional resources provided under the shamanic and hallucinogenic sections, where the information was limited.
    Overall however it has definitely added to my appreciation of the wide ranging causes of spiritual emergence/emergency and some of the options available to assist clients/patients who display some of these symptoms.
    I am not trained as a psychiatrist and hence discerning whether clients/patients are genuinely suffering from a mental health issue that may need psychiatric care or whether they are suffering from spirit attachments, connection with the non-local field or inforealm or other trauma (personal or ancestral or karmic) has always been one of my concerns. This course was helpful in giving some pointers to this dilemma.
