A Sacred Space for Professional Awakening
Coaching Beyond
the Ego
Train with industry pioneers to help people in ways that transcend the personal and touch the universal.
There is a point where traditional coaching and therapy reaches its limit. To go further, we must look beyond the personality, the goals, and the “ego-self” into the depths of the transpersonal realm.
The Centre for Transpersonal Studies was born from a shared vision by Joanne Sumner, Carl Hewitt, and Emma Pruen. We provide a bridge for those called to hold a deeper space, blending the rigorous ethics of professional coaching with the profound inquiry of the soul.
What Do We Mean by Transpersonal?
It is where spirit and soul meet, where our intelligence becomes transpersonal.
The transpersonal approach views the individual not as a collection of symptoms to be fixed, but as a vast consciousness temporarily navigating a human experience. It integrates traditional psychological tools with the exploration of transcendent states, such as intuition, creativity, flow and spiritual connection, to help a person align their daily life with their deepest essential self.
