Ethical Spiritual Care for Professionals 

Overview

This offering is designed for mental health professionals, healthcare workers, spiritual care providers, therapists-in-training, and spaceholders who wish to deepen their capacity to ethically and skillfully support clients experiencing altered states of consciousness.

From spontaneous spiritual emergence to therapeutic breakthroughs, clients are increasingly presenting with experiences that fall outside traditional clinical models, but hold profound healing potential when understood in the right context. 

My Background

With a background in neurophenomenology research and training in mental health counseling, I collaborate with the Emergent Phenomenology Research Consortium (EPRC) to bridge contemplative wisdom and scientific rigor. My philosophical approach spans teachings received from respected Theravada, Zen Buddhist, and Okinawan martial arts instructors, as well as Indian ancestry of Raja Yoga, and personal experiences with Jungian Analysis and psychedelics. Despite these cultural influences, I remain committed to offering inclusive, trauma-informed, and ontologically neutral educational frameworks that are accessible to professionals of all backgrounds and belief systems.

I do not act as a clinician or spiritual guide, but as a fellow peer dedicated to learning how practitioners can support each other in responding compassionately and competently to spiritual emergence, non-ordinary states of consciousness, and transformative experiences.
