LEARNING

The Institute offers courses, workshops, and consultations to independent learners in a variety of formats, one-on-one and as a group, at-a-distance and in-person. Independent learning is a wonderful way to learn about a subject that may have been of interest yet was never explored, without traveling or enrolling in a program, though those options are also available.

Independent learners with phone or skype and internet access can take a course wherever they are at any time, benefiting from one-on-one contact, or learning with a friend or group of associates. Course explorations include research, practicum, reflection, and dialogue. Courses can also be tailored to individual interests and schedules, and course subject areas can be explored in individual consultations.

The Institute courses are designed as part of a twelve-fold integral program in Consciousness. Individuals completing six courses in the Consciousness Program receive a Certificate of Completion.

For those interested in academic credit, transfer credits for courses based on a five month semester are accepted in the Masters and Doctoral programs at Energy Medicine University, where they are offered in two Concentrations:

Consciousness and Nature
Consciousness and the Creative

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

THE ART AND ARCHITECTURE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

This course is an exploration of patterns and dynamics of relationship reflected in the foundational processes of life and the deep structures of consciousness. The course explores the ways these dynamics embody the essence and beauty that simultaneously describe the most basic and most complex of living systems, from fundamental patterns embodied by the natural world to social networks, sacred structures, psyche and soma, the subtle body, and processes of consciousness..


ENERGY, INTEGRITY AND ETERNITY

This course is an exploration of energy, integrity, and eternity. The course explores psychophysiological and phenomenological aspects of energy including physical, emotional, mental, and subtle energy, creative, spatial, and natural energy, and healing and life energy. The course explores sensitive, sustainable, and ethical ways of working with energy..


CONNECTION, COMMUNICATION, CREATION AND COMMUNION

Many of the most pressing interpersonal, community, and international issues revolve around communication, or the lack thereof. This course explores the process of connection, communication, creation, and communion: internal and external, verbal and nonverbal, interpersonal and international, subtle and intuitive, local and nonlocal. Course explorations include thoughts, words, and actions, social networks, global dynamics, subtle and natural systems, and communication processes including Bohmian dialogue, Nonviolent Communication, wisdom councils, Self Reflective Dialogue, and self-inquiry.


THE ARCHITECTURE OF SPACE

This course is an exploration of space: internal, external, and subtle space; cosmological, sacred, creative, healing, and natural space; physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual experiences of space; and the power of place. The course explores space as a construct of consciousness, the ways one is shaped by and shapes space, the internal and external architecture of space, and the psychophysiological effects of the structure of space.


CREATIVE AND VISIONARY PROCESSES

This course is an exploration of creative and visionary processes and their importance in personal and cultural evolution. The course explores creative and visionary processes in art, health and healing, self-expression, spiritual practice, social and natural systems, and in the lives of creatives and visionaries. The course includes immersion in, and reflection on, a creative and visionary process.


CREATIVE AWARENESS AND SELF HEALING

This course is an exploration of creative awareness and self healing. The course explores fundamental principles and processes of self healing that support and develop creative awareness, facilitate the release of habitual patterns and chronic pain, balance familial and interpersonal energy fields, enliven healing potential, honor and support the wisdom of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit, and deepen awareness of the physical, mental, emotional, and subtle bodies, nature, and the consciousness of health.


RELATIONSHIP, PATTERNS AND DYNAMICS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

This course is an exploration of relationship, patterns, and dynamics of consciousness. The dynamics of the personality, interpersonal relationships, cosmological and natural cycles, and soul development are explored through astrological patterns and cycles of life, energy fields, past lives, and the deepening of awareness through self-inquiry. The course reviews relationship dynamics and medical astrology.


DREAMS, DEATH AND THE DIVINE

This course is an exploration of dreams, dreaming, death, and the divine. The course explores the many forms of dreams and dreaming: in daily life; creativity and revelation; lucid dreaming, near-death, out-of-body, and transcendent experiences; reincarnation; the subtle body and states of awareness; and the experience of the divine.


EVOLUTIONARY AESTHETICS:
EDUCATION, IMAGINATION AND SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION

This course is an exploration of evolutionary aesthetics: education as a living process, creativity as a learning process, and social transformation as an evolutionary process. The course explores the importance of creativity in education, of education in social transformation, and of aesthetic beauty in life, nature, the arts and sciences, health and healing, creativity, culture, and evolution.


CHAOS, EROS AND NOMOS

While Chaos refers to the original state of existence or void from which creation emerged, and Eros refers to new life, love, and beauty, Nomos refers to the ordering of experience and values. This course is an exploration of emergence, the healing power of love and reconciliation, the energetic fields of individuals, families, and communities, values, self-organization, and the spirit of reciprocity. The course explores subtle energies, participatory processes, engaged economics, governance, sustainability, creativity, and the health and evolution of social and natural systems.


CONSCIOUSNESS, COSMOLOGIES AND MAPS

This course is an exploration of consciousness, cosmologies, and maps. The course explores collective and personal cosmologies, the evolutionary architecture of individual lives, the mapping process, the subtle body, and consciousness. The mapping process effectively illustrates and powerfully illuminates repetitive patterns and habitual behaviors, relationship, group, and organizational dynamics, the subtle body, and personal cosmologies. It can be used for healing, life transitions, dreams, self-inquiry, meeting facilitation, and self-reflection, for insight, change, and growth.


SENSITIVITY AND THE SUBLIME

This course is an exploration of the sublime sensitivity inherent in the nature of being. The course explores sensitivity and the sublime: the experience of sensitives; the deepening of sensitivity and intuition with awareness; sensitivity to subtle energy; sensitivity in creativity and healing; sensitivity to, and the sensitivity of, nature; and sensitivity to the sublime..


WOMEN, WISDOM AND THE WORLD

THE SUBTLE BODY AND THE RAINBOW LIGHTS

The subtle body is a dynamic system unique to each individual yet universal in nature. This course is an exploration of this beautiful system of energy, and ways of working with that can be both informative and transformative.
