“Authentic and compassionate”
My experience and reflections after taking the Essentials of Psychosynthesis training can be expressed by these words: authentic and compassionate, professional and humane, longer-term life changing impacts, reminding truths forgotten and introducing new perspectives, high quality delivery, comfortable and stimulating at the same time, embracing diversity, the art of aware and constructive living, feeling of connection. I warmly recommend it to anyone.

“An incredible adventure”
The Foundations Year has been an incredible adventure. The balance of experiential and academic work at the Trust makes this course truly unique and invaluable to personal development. It challenged me and provided me with insight and information I previously felt was out of reach, all in an environment where the experienced trainers support with ease and compassion. The course teaches and supports you as an individual as well as a potential future practitioner.
