The aim of the course is to honour cultural diversity by promoting an integral approach to different frameworks of knowledge and beliefs. These days we give added value to our subjective experiences over objectivity, and although we honour specialists, we may sometimes question their expertise concerning their authority and knowledge about our personal well being.

Today practitioners need inter-cultural competence and a high degree of cultural literacy. The multi-cultural approach of this course includes but goes beyond faith and religion. It explores the essence of what it means to be human, beyond the cultural faith-based traditions. It explores human experiences that occur beyond the five senses.

 

 

The course offers opportunities for participants to discuss normal human faculties, transformational and unusual experiences, and their implications for client care from an inter-cultural perspective. It enables practitioners to gain skills necessary for managing spiritual aspects of their practice.

Our aim is to support participants in finding a sense of meaning in the experiences of living and dying. It is set up to complement current approaches of medicine, nursing and social care, by addressing issues that occur every day within therapeutic environments, but are not yet explicitly taught in medical schools.

A new course

Existential questions about the meaning of life often take on great importance when we are ill or have problems. In order to support fresh dialogue between health practitioners and their clients, we are offering a new course, to explore the relationship of spirituality to health.
