<p style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color:#444444;line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">Welcome to The Existential Moment, EHI's email digest intended to inform and inspire your healing work and growth in a brief but evocative format. In therapy (and life!), we recognize a pearl of ancient wisdom: to move a mountain, begin by carrying away small stones.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color:#444444;line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">Introductions complete, let us orient ourselves as we begin our journey. Maps are a useful tool. They tell us where we are and importantly, where we're going.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color:#444444;line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">Theory and practice characterize the common pillars of the central psychotherapeutic modalities. Existential-Humanistic Therapy differentiates itself on those mainstays.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color:#444444;line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">In terms of practice, EH Therapy is experiential and relational. It seeks to work squarely in the "here and now," deeming it unnecessary to go on a treasure hunt in the "there and then." It grounds work in presence and distinguishes between primary and secondary experience, process and content. It leverages micro-skills to help expand and deepen what is present toward helping clients discover what deeply matters about their lives. EH Therapy likewise holds that the therapeutic relationship is the principal vehicle for healing and growth. Therapy is then a journey of intimacy and honesty, where the therapist is a fellow-traveler, calling on curiosity and acceptance toward desired ends. </p>
<p style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color:#444444;line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">The "essentially human" is the foundation of EH Therapy theory. The four dimensions of encounter frame the therapeutic context: the client, the therapist, the relation, and the cosmological. Within that frame, self-world constructs, meaning-making, constriction/expansion, protective patterns and enactments, and core wounds deepen understanding. Likewise, the existential givens of life/death, freedom/destiny, meaning/absurdity, and community/separateness orient exploration.</p>
<p style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color:#444444;line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">This is a rough map of EH Therapy meant to serve as a touchstone as we venture forward. Still, as with any journey in life, the unexpected will arise. We will improvise, adapt, and embrace serendipity as it comes. </p>
<p style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color:#444444;line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">We hope you will find the journey enriching, personally and professionally.
</p>
<p style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Helvetica', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 16px; color:#444444;line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">Finally, as with the therapist-client journey itself, we are fellow travelers. And as we might then check-in with our clients, we check-in now with you: "how are we doing?" Please give us your feedback as we go. Let us know what you want to hear about, explore, or question, and tell us what you like and don't like. We are present, curious, and listening.

And yet it is the process of self-judgment and contraction that unintentionally contribute to unnecessary human suffering in the forms of loneliness, existential emptiness and common alienation from self, others and even our planetary home.</p><p style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">Perhaps the greatest antidote and medicine to loneliness and alienation from self and others is the cultivation of deep experiences of self-compassion and awareness of common humanity. To authentically embody self-compassion is to awaken a direct knowing that our inner experiences, no matter how uncomfortable, scary, embarrassing or "dark", relate to and reveal fundamental universal longings for love, belonging and freedom.</p><p style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">In this workshop, inspired by and based mainly on Process Experiential, Phenomenology, Humanistic-Existential and Mindfulness-based traditions, participants will learn how to help clients move from polarized, self-shaming and self-alienating states to states of self- and other-compassion. The benefits of these shifts include the emergence or deepening of authenticity, vitality, empathy, generosity and intra-psychic integration.

The E-H approach is based on core ways of being and working with clients that help facilitate greater awareness, greater sense of choice, increased agency and adaptiveness and a deeper connection to self and others – all in the service of healing and growing. There are core capacities and skills an E-H therapist uses to help clients effectively explore and work through their existential predicaments so they can more fully access what deeply matters to them.</p>

<li>The cultivation of presence as both the ground of therapy and one of its primary objectives</li>
<li>The focus on the "living moment" in working with the "here-and-now" experience of clients – staying with what presents itself phenomenologically rather than employing theoretical interventions</li>
<li>The differentiation between primary, direct experience and secondary, interpretive experience - and the emphasis on working with phenomenological experience</li>
<li>The meaning-making process and the formation of the Self-and-World Construct – helping client and therapist understand identity construction and de-construction</li>
<li>How to work with the client's ways of being in the world and how to utilize the therapist-client relationship to help shift unhelpful ways of being</li>
<li>How to identify and work through clients' inner battles in order to support their longings to emerge, and feel more choice-ful and psychospiritually whole</li>
<li>Integrating and embodying your theoretical beliefs and authentic sense of self in your work as a therapist</li>

This training is ideal for those who have not yet had any intensive training in E-H therapy or for those who have and are seeking a refresher or reinforcement of what they've learned: this training works in and of itself but can also be a precursor to the longer residential training EHI holds or even a helpful follow-up to the residential training.</p>

They demonstrate how the therapeutic relationship, in and of itself is a vehicle for healing and change and how therapeutic "presence" cultivates sensitivity and appropriate responsiveness to clients emotions, relational patterns and inner worlds. These two essential principles – working directly with the therapeutic relationship and working experientially in the "here and now" - are the foundational blocks of E-H therapy and EHI training.</p>

How do we prioritize in our life during such a period of upheaval? Our world is undergoing so much change on a daily basis, so many people on earth are suffering, live in poverty, are dying due to the effects of climate change, of hunger, of disease. Where do we turn for awareness so we can stop and think, perhaps avert the calamity, perhaps an extinction we are about to face? We need a different way of understanding ourselves. We need a different perception of how we can live together on this planet.</p><p style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">To find such a way, we turn to those who have always been – at least until recently – the shepherds of human civilizations: <em style="padding-right: 3px;">our wise elders and thinkers.</em> To stop the destructive path of polarization, of us versus them, we shift into a fundamentally different attitude to life and living. This attitude follows ancient wisdom that knows that everything is connected and united. This wisdom emphasizes that as we do to our outer nature, we also do to our inner nature. It believes that if we do harm to what lives outside of us, we also harm what lives inside of us.</p><p style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">Old wisdom traditions, and now also Quantum Theories, point to the observer participating in the observed, being the observed. What disturbs me about others who have a different perspective from me thus also points to something inside me - else I could not 'see' it. This fundamental shift in attitude looks at all that manifests as being part of a whole. We cannot discard certain parts of life thinking we do not desire them, while we preference other parts as acceptable. We move beyond like and dislike, we move beyond good and evil. With such a change in attitude, we look differently at what disturbs, irritates, and angers us in others. Rather than thinking that the other is wrong, we look at the other as teacher. As Carl Jung pointed out, everything that irritates us can lead to a deeper self-understanding. The more we understand, the more we become truly who we are. We are proposing that it is in accepting our disturbances and irritations, we become whole. As whole beings, we can create an opportunity to live in harmony with each other and with mother Earth.</p><p style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;"><strong>In this webinar, we will engage in concrete exercises that allow us to feel into the essence of the 'other's' position and viewpoint. This will allow us to not only 'see' the 'other' but also to deepen our own self-understanding. This way we can experience as much our unity as our differences. <em style="padding-right: 3px;">All is one; one is all.</em></strong></p><h3 style="color: rgb(1, 106, 118) !important; font-family: HelveticaNeue-Light, "Helvetica Neue Light", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;">Our Online Workshops Include Experiential Work!</h3><p style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">The October 3rd workshop will be both didactic and experiential utilizing Zoom Meeting and Zoom Breakout Rooms.</p><p style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">This event is designed for both the general public and for licensed or pre-licensed professionals in the therapeutic fields, as well as master's and graduate students in therapeutic programs.

Shabahangi, Ph.D., RCFE</a>, received his doctorate from Stanford University and is a licensed psychotherapist. His multicultural background has made him an advocate for different marginalized groups of society throughout his adult life. In the 1980's he worked with abused children and teenagers and led anticipatory bereavement groups for Coming Home Hospice. In 1992 he founded the non-profit organization Pacific Institute with the purpose of training psychotherapists in a multicultural, humanistic approach to counseling and to provide affordable therapy services to the many diverse groups living in San Francisco.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">In 1994, noticing the often inhumane treatment of the elderly living in institutions, he started to develop an innovative Gerontological Wellness Program in order to provide emotional support and mental health care services for the elderly. In 1997, together with his two brothers, Nader opened a residential care home for the elderly in San Francisco called Hayes Valley Care, where he could, along with the Pacific Institute Internship team, implement the Gerontological Wellness Program. He continues this work in both the Elder Ashram Community in Oakland, as well as leading workshops and training in eldership through the Eldership Academy.</p></div>Existential Humanistic Institutehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04830579425909444673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4592097781215146525.post-77751325829495583332020-08-18T16:10:00.002-07:002020-08-18T16:11:58.646-07:00Registration Now Open for Upcoming Workshop: Meeting Across the Divide on Sept 12th!<h1 style="color: #016a76; font-size: 38px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px;"><br />

<p style="font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">White privilege is a pervasive issue in contemporary culture. However, the topic of White privilege has become highly polarized and even the mention of White privilege in many conversations will evoke defensiveness and anger. In the current sociocultural climate, it is more important than ever for therapists to work with awareness of and skill in addressing this issue and the different feelings it evokes.</p></div>
<p style="font-family: "helvetica neue", helvetica, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">The workshop opens with a focus on clarifying White privilege and related concepts, including White supremacy, White fragility, White guilt, color blind and culture-blind racism, cultural humility, tone policing, and other concepts.Consideration will be given to why White privilege is such a controversialtopic and clarifying the resistance to it.</p>

Braver Angels is a citizens group that offers supportive structured dialogues to self-identified liberals and conservatives to learn about and understand each other with the prospect for achieving common ground.</p>

The webinar will also draw from my new book on this topic—<em>The Depolarizing of America: A Guidebook for Social Healing</em>, which audience members will be encouraged to read to optimize their application of the Experiential Democracy Dialogue.</p>

This workshop is not intended to teach attendees "role playing" or the therapeutic benefits of "role play" in therapy. Please note that it will not be possible to ensure each attendee is paired with another attendee from the opposite political perspective. Participation in the dyad exercise will most likely result in attendees needing to "role play" or pretend to a political perspective they do not actually embody.</p>

In the wake of the pandemic and recent racial, political, and economic upheaval in our country, this approach addresses practitioners' work and lives. Drawing from his new book <em style="padding-right: 3px;"><a href="https://universityprofessorspress.com/product/the-depolarizing-of-america/" style="border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(241, 129, 88) !important; color: rgb(68, 68, 68) !important; font-weight: bold; outline: none; text-decoration-line: none;">The Depolarizing of America: A Guidebook for Social Healing</a></em>, Kirk Schneider, along with colleague Bob Edelstein, will demonstrate this new conflict mediation approach--titled the "Experiential Democracy Dialogue." We will also provide a space for dyads for audience members to try the skills on their own.<br />
<br />
The Experiential Democracy Dialogue provides a supportive, highly structured format that invites people from contrasting cultural and ideological backgrounds to learn about and understand each other, rather than automatically being closed to each other's point of view. The upshot of the approach is that it can notably improve people's capacities to humanize each other and to achieve common ground. For practitioners, specifically, it can enhance capabilities to be more present, both within oneself and with one's clients, which is foundational to effective practice. The approach can also help practitioners to work with the divisiveness within themselves in regards to the polarized issues in society, which in turn may help with their work with their clients.</div>

In Existential-Humanistic psychotherapy, we facilitate our clients to discover their unique meaning as they respond to the challenges and contingencies of life.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0 0 10px; padding: 0;">
The importance of this approach is especially relevant as we all face a world-wide pandemic and racial injustice in our country. We realize that we just have so much control over our personal lives and world events. Some of us have discovered new meanings in response to this. Others are struggling with finding meaning.</div>

In this salon, we will explore how the Existential-Humanistic perspective provides a lens for finding meaning within the uncertainty of what we are all confronting. We will explore how we work with our clients as they search for meaning and how our own search for meaning informs that.</div>

Poets, lyricists, and writers have creatively and beautifully expressed humanistic and existential themes with their words. We will be sharing some of our favorites, with reflections. We invite the attendees who would like to do so to share a song, a lyric, a poem, a line, or a passage that has personal meaning. As a group we will listen, reflect, respond, and hopefully be inspired. In salon fashion, there will not be a presentation, but rather a gathering to share thoughts with each other. Please come to share or to listen.</div>

<h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How to Cope and Make Meaning During Quarantine </span></h4>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> How do we find meaning during a time of isolation: loss of freedom, loss of routines, and loss of physical interactions? Many of us are experiencing newfound feelings of despair, meaninglessness, and loneliness. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Join Dr. Alfried L</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">ä</span>ngle for a discussion on managing negative emotions. Learn how to turn the time of quarantine into a time of personal growth using the four tenets of existential theory. Existential analysis and logotherapy can help us to better understand why we can experience psychic pain during isolation, economic instability, and widespread disease. Not only can we gain an understanding of our emotions, but we can confront and turn around these challenges. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Without our jobs, loved ones, and routines, how do we construct identity? Many of us feel we are losing our sense of self during this trying time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Existential analysis focuses on four tenets: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 1- We are motivated by the fundamental question of existing in the world
- I exist, but can I exist as a whole person? Do I have the necessary space, protection and support? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 2- We are motivated by the fundamental question of life
- I am alive but do I like this? Do I experience fulfillment, affection and appreciation of values? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 3- We are motivated by the fundamental question of self
- I am myself, but do I feel free to be myself? Do I experience attention, justice and appreciation? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> 4- We are motivated by the question of existential meaning
- I am here, but for what purpose? What is here today to make my life a meaningful whole? What do I live for? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Learn how to apply practical therapeutic exercises to our current lives based on the four tenets of existential theory.</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This is a grim time--and certainly an existentially challenging time. It is also a time when we rightly turn to our medical caregivers for life-changing interventions and support. We look to our political leaders, at least the ones we can trust, to turn the gears of government in a healing direction. But far too often we forget to turn to artistic and philosophical sources that provide existential sustenance at a time when psychospiritual "remedies" are spare and the sense of helplessness abounds. I'm speaking of "specialists" in the art of "response-ability" in the face of grave perils, such as Viktor Frankl in "Man's Search for Meaning," Albert Camus in "The Plague," and Rollo May in "Freedom and Destiny." In this interview with Broadcast Journalist Isabella Clarke, we have an intimate discussion about the latter purviews as well as the role of existential-humanistic and existential-integrative approaches to our trying times." ~ Dr. Kirk Schneider</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Recommended Video</span></h3>
Dr Kirk Schneider's interview with
Serge Prengel, LMHC of the blog and podcast, Relational Implicit becomes
an experiential exploration of polarization!<br />
<br />
Kirk and Serge sat
together recently for an interview on the polarized mind that started as
a straight interview and as Dr Schneider describes it “gradually
shifted to an exploration of the somatic dimensions evoked by our
discussion. This organically turned into a kind of depth/process take
on polari<span class="text_exposed_show">zation that in my and Serge’s
view may have notable implications for a deeper, experiential dialogue
for those prepared to take the journey.”</span><br />

Integrating existential-humanistic and process-oriented philosophy and methodology with the latest research in gerontology, this workshop will help participants understand the concept and practice of eldership and invite them to reflect on their own beliefs about adulthood and aging.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Participants will explore possibilities for developing new identity constructions and frameworks for conceptualizing aging, as well as meaning and purpose in old age. This new perspective can support not only psychotherapists but also any any person who is interested in more effectively working with elders and themselves. This approach and learning also contributes to the health and well-being of individuals and communities in general.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
More than ever, we crave a new definition of aging that borrows from the great thinkers, artists, philosophers and wisdom traditions throughout history. Blending existential, process-oriented psychotherapeutic insights and centuries of philosophical wisdom with modern pragmatism learned from being a CEO of eldercare communities in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a quarter of a century, this workshop seeks a thoughtful map on aging, not a "To Do" list that illuminates yet another reason to fail.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Eldership isn't a state, but a process. It's not something to be achieved, but practiced in our own unique journey!</div>

Drawing upon the philosophical roots, literature, and practices of humanistic psychology and philosophy, as well as the latest research in gerontology, this presentation will focus on the creation of positive frameworks of aging, thereby supporting participants in improving therapeutic rapport with older adult clients, in helping clients move towards a meaning-based understanding of the aging process and in understanding and utilizing principles of eldership in clinical practice. Participants will be invited to explore their personal identities, reflecting on their own beliefs on aging, adulthood and elderhood in order to develop new identity constructions as well as adaptive frameworks for conceptualizing aging, meaning and purpose in old age. This new perspective can potentially nourish personal well-being, enlarge the context of psychotherapy practice and contribute to the health of clients' and clinicians' inner and outer world.</div>

<br />
More than ever, we crave a new definition of aging that borrows from the great thinkers, artists, philosophers and wisdom traditions throughout history. Blending existential, process-oriented psychotherapeutic insights and centuries of philosophical wisdom with modern pragmatism learned from being a CEO of eldercare communities in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a quarter of a century, this workshop seeks a thoughtful map on aging, not a "To Do" list that illuminates yet another reason to fail.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #444444; font-family: Sintony; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 21.5312px; margin-top: 21.5312px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This workshop uses a process-oriented approach to outline an attitude towards life that embraces our collected years of life experience and expresses a deep appreciation for its richness and complexity. An attitude that elevates us above the beleaguered worlds of "good and bad" and "likes and dislikes" to welcome our world and the people inside it just as we are. It introduces us to Eldership as a way of being and the practice of living life.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #444444; font-family: Sintony; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 21.5312px; margin-top: 21.5312px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Eldership isn't a state, but a process. It's not something to be achieved, but practiced. We don't educate others how to be elders, but instead open the space with guidance for their own unique journey.<br />

EHI offers trainings, workshops and education in Existential-Humanistic approaches to psychotherapy. Formed in 1997 as a program under the auspices of the Pacific Institute, a non-profit organization in San Francisco, EHI continues to offer experiential training retreats, certificate programs, workshops, consultation groups, theory courses and community gatherings in the Bay Area with the goal of supporting existentially and humanistically informed psychologies and psychotherapies: approaches that focus on and nurture subjective experiential reflection of life’s deepest joys and predicaments.</div>

<br />
This workshop outlines an attitude towards life that embraces our collected years of life experience and expresses a deep appreciation for its richness and complexity. An attitude that elevates us above the beleaguered worlds of "good and bad" and "likes and dislikes" to welcome our world and the people inside it just as we are. It introduces us to Eldership as a way of being and the practice of living life.<br />
More than ever, we crave a new definition of aging that borrows from the great thinkers, artists, philosophers and wisdom traditions throughout history. Blending existential, process-oriented psychotherapeutic insights and centuries of philosophical wisdom with modern pragmatism learned from being a CEO of eldercare communities in the San Francisco Bay Area for over a quarter of a century, this workshop seeks a thoughtful map on aging, not a "To Do" list that illuminates yet another reason to fail.<br />
Eldership isn't a state, but a process. It's not something to be achieved, but practiced. We don't educate others how to be elders, but instead open the space for their own unique journey.<br />
<h3>
Nader Shabahangi, PhD, RCFE</h3>
Nader R. Shabahangi, Ph.D., RCFE, received his doctorate from Stanford University and is a licensed psychotherapist. His multicultural background has made him an advocate for different marginalized groups of society throughout his adult life. In the 1980's he worked with abused children and teenagers and led anticipatory bereavement groups for Coming Home Hospice. In 1992 he founded the non-profit organization Pacific Institute with the purpose of training psychotherapists in a multicultural, humanistic approach to counseling and to provide affordable therapy services to the many diverse groups living in San Francisco.<br />
In 1994, noticing the often inhumane treatment of the elderly living in institutions, he started to develop an innovative Gerontological Wellness Program in order to provide emotional support and mental health care services for the elderly. In 1997, together with his two brothers, Nader opened a residential care home for the elderly in San Francisco called Hayes Valley Care, where he could, along with the Pacific Institute Internship team, implement the Gerontological Wellness Program.Existential Humanistic Institutehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04830579425909444673noreply@blogger.com
