MACP Intensives
Thursday, Sept 21st - Saturday Sept. 30th: Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology Low Residency Intensive.
Interested in the MACP program but don't live near the campus? Program Chair Jennifer Crane shares this about the 10 day intensive and how you can still meet your cohort, receive face to face training, and finish the rest of your courses in the comfort of your home.
"
The MACP Low Res/Hybrid Intensives occur twice a year, once prior to the start of the Fall qtr and the other just prior to the Spring qtr. Students come to campus for 10-days and take clinical courses which are mostly experiential, creative and transformative.
Students have an opportunity to connect face to face with those in their cohorts and also to other students in the MACP community at various points of their program.
If you are interested in attending our all community event on campus, on Sunday, 9/24, from 4-5:30pm, please RSVP to the Program Chair, Jen Crane@
jennifer.crane@sofia.edu.
You can come join in and see what the experience of becoming a therapist and/or professional counselor is all about."

Global Seminar
In today's world where perceptions are so divided, we are invited to consider two intentional practices. The first practice is to discover our authentic voice, our unique way of being that emerges from our stories, informs our lives and has made us who we are today.
This seminar will focus on the practice of listening deeply to one another and transcending differences.

"I always knew I loved him. He was slow to realize he loved me...All my life I had longed to be loved as John Firman loved me... My inclination is to say I was the lucky one. But actually, we were the lucky ones."
Ann Maria Gila is a psychotherapist in private practice and an adjunct faculty member at Sofia University She is the co-author of three books with John Firman, her late husband: The Primal Wound: A Transpersonal View of Trauma, Addiction, and Growth
; Psychosynthesis: A Psychology of the Spirit
; and A Psychotherapy of Love: Psychosynthesis in Practice
.
Amazon Review: "
In Stay Present and Love Him,
Ann Gila writes authentically about her life with John Firman. It is a love story filled with hope and despair, a reaching out for love that seems impossible, but holding true despite all obstacles, guided by inner faith to a remarkable marriage in which both Gila and Firman come to know true intimacy."

Congratulations to the Winners of Jill Mellick's book "Art of Dreaming"
Sabra Johnson and Ting Chen!
Our contest entrants were asked to give us their thoughts on the following question. "Share your thoughts on dream work and the benefit to wellbeing practices such as psychotherapy."
Here are a few of their responses.
"This has been a self learning process for me and I have never explored my dreams with a clinician or clients I have worked with. Although it is something I would enjoy delving into with clients."
"I find dream works quite fascinating and to be one of my favorite therapy approaches. I have tried dream works as an experiment on myself before after attending the Dream interpretation in Spring intensive 2016 at Sofia University. I find using art expression to be one of the most helpful ways to express out my dreams and then to observe my art work to find the story my unconscious has tried to reveal about myself in my dream.
