Description: With neuroscience charting the region of the” higher” brain  and with getting “high” on psychedelic drugs now becoming part of modern healthcare, Assagioli’s pioneering work on our natural higher unconscious is becoming even more prophetic.  This webinar will refer to 1) the current trends in psychedelic medicine, 2) how Assagioli’s published and private notes pointed toward this trend 100 years ahead of his time, and 3) practical clinical examples of how the waking up of the higher unconscious can bring surprise, relief and gratitude for the people we are helping.  

Experiential practices are included.


Learning Objectives:

  1. You will learn the current trends in psychedelic medicine; 
  2. You will expand your understanding of Assagioli’s contribution;
  3. You will experience three proven practices for waking up the higher unconscious;
  4. You will explore the ways you can bring these practices into your work. 


Presenter;  Richard is a counseling psychologist who is one of the original co-founders of the New York Psychosynthesis Institute.  He is guest faculty of the Italian Society for Psychosynthesis Therapy and co-author of five books.  With his wife, Bonney, he leads the Clinical Meditation and Imagery Training program (based in psychosynthesis) which has trained hundreds of professionals internationally.

A little context:


Like it or not, everyone is a part of the universal will and we must somehow tune in 

and willingly participate in the rhythms of universal life. Roberto Assagioli

The world is facing significant changes, and we stand at a threshold. The time is now to move beyond the familiar patterns and silos of our thinking, training and disciplines. As interpersonal neurobiologist, Dan Siegel, speaking at Garrison in 2011, put it: “as long as self is defined as a singular noun, the planet is cooked”. 
Since then, this limited definition has proved to be an unhelpful driver in multiple spheres – a phenomenon that reminds us of the deep interconnections between perception, meaning, consciousness and will, and the vital power of presence and community.
In this moment, we are called to remember our deep belonging—to each other, to the Earth, to the Great Mystery of life. It is essential that we come together to forge pathways of resilience, courage, and kinship; to explore soulful ways to navigate these uncertain times, weaving creativity, wisdom and will from our shared vision of a more connected and whole world.
Join us! as we gather at the Garrison Institute in the spirit of synthesis to ignite our passions, inspire new dreams and build community for 2025 and beyond! This event is more than a conference, it's an immersive and experiential gathering to tap into the deep, transformative work of Psychosynthesis and related disciplines.

    • What is being asked of us now, at this critical time, both individually and collectively?

"Out of the past, in the present, for the future" - Roberto Assagioli
