Move Beyond Limitations

Move beyond the limitations of traditional therapeutic approaches and learn to live from the integrity of your heart. Learn to engage with life from your spiritual essence, from your truth, from who you really are. 

We often confuse our self with the identities we’ve created in the world. Part of the human unfoldment, the process of maturation, includes the letting go of the false selves we’ve come to identify with, and embracing our true self, our authentic essence.

What is Spiritual Psychology

Spiritual Psychology is based on the understanding that our true essence is spiritual and that our body, mind and emotions are vehicles for spiritual expression. This essence is present in every moment and we have the opportunity to connect with and respond to its guidance. Yet the human condition is such that there are many challenges that block us from this conscious connection. Clearing these blocks is key to the process spiritual psychology.

Leslie Karen Sann presents a framework for integrating psychological and spiritual work so that each approach complements and enhances the other. Thus, every psychological limitation or difficulty provides a special kind of opportunity - to see where you have lost touch with essential aspects of your being and to recover these lost parts of yourself. Once recovered these energies can be directed toward creating a life that is rich and satisfying.

Learning Paradigm

Spiritual Psychology is a positive psychology that utilizes a learning paradigm. A learning paradigm does not presume anything wrong with you - it simply presents things you can learn to make your life and work more easeful and productive.

Issues are seen as gifts for they offer an opportunity to reconnect with your essence, an occasion to expand, to learn and grow. Adversities are recognized as teachers. Life skills are taught to enable you to meet the challenges of life successfully.

YOU are the 
LIGHT at the End of the Tunnel!

Learn to relax into your authentic essence and let go of behavior patterns, limiting thoughts and feelings that no longer serve you. Expand your capacity to Love, as you learn to live the integrity of your heart, and offer the world the gift that you are.

Individuals will learn to embrace who you are as a spiritual essence and live from the integrity of your heart. This is a journey of awakening and discovery as conditioned patterns of adaptation and survival fall away to reveal the truth of who you are.

You will be supported in designing conscious goals for your life as you imagine a future you want to create. These goals, as you commit to them, will begin to pull you toward them. As you do so, old patterns will emerge, patterns that have kept you from having what you want, and as you become aware of these limiting patterns you will have the opportunity to change them into patterns that expand and support.

Couples will learn to shift from behaving like enemies to becoming allies in each other’s evolution and growth.

Rising energy pushes unconscious material to the surface. Loving and joy are energies that lift. Therefore, intimacy will bring issues to the surface. This is a blessing, as these issues are now able to be healed and resolved.

Together you will learn to shift from blaming your partner for your issues, to learning how to grow a spiritually fulfilling, intimate relationship.

Learn to bloom your heart open and offer your gifts fully.
