Core Process is a psychospiritual psychotherapy rooted in the Buddhist understanding of personality and consciousness. It is integrated with current psychotherapeutic theory and practice. This Foundation course is designed to give a grounding in the basic theory and practice of Core Process psychotherapy. It is a pre-requisite to the professional training and is also a complete basic course in itself. The main training focus of the course is an enhancement of our quality of awareness in the present moment and the extension of this into the various relationships in our lives. The emphasis is on the building and strengthening of the personal and therapeutic process skills within a contemplative understanding. During this time we explore what are called the seven themes of Core Process psychotherapeutic process. These are presence, process, access, resonance, reflecting, transformation and integration. The Foundation course is designed to help participants evolve a deeper access to their own process and bring awareness to how things are. It aims to encourage a deeper appreciation and knowing of our core state, (our fundamental nature), which is accessible to us in every moment, and is, by its very nature, whole. With greater awareness and openness the innate ability to see things with clarity and compassion can then become a more present reality.
