8:15 am to 5 pm
 
Celeste E. Mattingly, LCSW and Dory Dzinski, MA, LPC, NCC
 
Culturally-acceptable anomalous experiences often resemble psychiatric diagnoses. Religious/spiritual conflicts and practices often create diagnosable conditions. Know the difference. Cut through the profession's bias and fear of the unknown.   Keep up with the rising popularity of Yoga, meditation, Shamanism, Energy Medicine, Higher Consciousness, mediumship, paranormal and anomalous experiences, UFO-logy, and the resurgence of psychedelic use for mental health. In this workshop we provide an in-depth review of the meaning of Spiritual Emergence and the application of spiritual practices as identified by the Integrative, Multidimensional, Transpersonal, Humanistic, Psychedelic trends for practitioners. We will provide experiential exercises, practical suggestions, concrete examples, and case studies for determining diagnosis.
