Description:

Join us as Lawrence Beech distills and shares his wisdom of integrating spirituality into psychotherapy. 

Participants will have the opportunity to meet in small breakout groups to discuss possibilities for incorporating the spiritual dimension into their practice and client work.

In this one-hour presentation and break-out group experience, you will:

  • Gain an understanding of shared values underlying the diversity of multifaith traditions, rituals, and practices.
  • Deepen knowledge of the distinctive vocabulary, rituals, and practices of diverse faith traditions.
  • Identify at least eight shared spiritual convictions and values that intersect most faith traditions.
  • Communicate spiritually across differing faith orientations in psychotherapy practice through naming themes and values held in common.
