NEW ONLINE WORKSHOP - Working Transpersonally with Gender, Sex and Relational Diversities: A ‘Queering’ of Psychosynthesis

Following on from last year’s introductory Taster session, LGSRDP psychotherapist Nick Field and our colleague Gian Montagna, are now offering an online weekend workshop, on working transpersonally with GSRD clients.

Dates: Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th June 2021.

In his own words: ‘Transpersonal psychology, and in particular psychosynthesis therapy, has the potential to offer something more when relating to some of the issues that are specific to GSRD clients: the opportunity to become who they really are and fulfil their truest potential, despite the limitations that existing social and environmental conditioning has placed on them.'

This workshop is on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th June 2021 from 10am-5pm. Tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/working-transpersonally-with-gender-sexual-and-relational-diversities-tickets-150039232383
