Level 2 Advanced APCT Course
Kurt Hill

The purpose of this 20-week course is to illuminate the strategies of effective transformation and the necessary requirements if one is to facilitate movement toward the hoped for integrative outcomes. Lectures will draw upon the best of scientific research, archetypal studies, comparative mythology, spiritual tradition and contemporary psychoanalytic theory. Kurt will also explore metaphysical theories to aid the counselor/therapist/healer to understand the complexity and difficulty of the healing process. We will probe the works of Ken Wilbur, Carl Jung, Adolph Bostien, William Jones, R.M. Burke, Dr. Jean Houston, Dr. Robert Moore, Murray Stein, and Edward Edinger in order to synergistically compile concepts and theories. Special attention will be paid to the role of spirituality and spiritual practices on the psychological healing process as well as advanced protection techniques.


Research into comparative personality theories, systems of both psychotherapy and transformation and the interface between the psychological and spiritual views of healing will be explored.

This course is a direct result of Dr. Robert Moore's studies into the neo Jungian structural psychoanalysis and integrative psychotherapy as well as his work with the rituals of transformation.

Kurt will also conduct a brief lecture on the conflict of Hierocracy.

Methodology will include:

*Readings

*Reflection papers

*In-class exercises

*Advanced healing techniques

Upon successful completion of this class, the physician/healer/therapist can expect to be more effective in treating the client/patient at the cause level, giving the practitioner a better opportunity to eradicate the illness by understanding it's probable source.

This course is intended for current practitioners of holistic health methodologies wanting to expand their awareness as a professional witness; physicians, medical or graduate students in the healing professions desiring multi-faceted education in alternative/complementary and integrative therapies.

Completion of Kurt Hill's Level 1 APCT class recommended. For those who have not taken this initial course, please contact the front office regarding your application and prerequisites.



Holotropic Breathwork Workshop
Kurt Hill

Holotropic Breathwork was developed in the 1970s by Dr.
Stanislav Grof while studying the therapeutic potential of entering "nonordinary" states of consciousness. These "nonordinary states" were indistinguishable from those described in the ancient mystical traditions and spiritual philosophies of the East. Experiences in the "nonordinary state" brought on by the breathwork can be categorized as: sensory, biographical, perinatal or transpersonal (beyond the body and personal identity).

Kurt's own experience of holotropic breathwork training with Dr. Grof provides the structure for this workshop. He will facilitate the process accompanied by the gifted Michael Taylor who provides the musical background through his masterful Gembe drumming. Participants, or "breathers" lie on a mat in a relaxed position. As background music and drumming begins, the "breather" begins breathing faster and deeper as instructed by the facilitator with drumming and/or music to support the rapid, deliberate breathing. During the process, the "breather" can have quite a range of experiences, including deep feelings of joy or serenity, yogic sleep/meditative states, re-experience of traumas or the birth process, bodily sensations (tension, pain, warmth, etc.), crying, yelling, body movements, and/or transpersonal experiences such as past life experiences.

This is a very special opportunity where Kurt will create a safe space for a personal healing journey.

Workshop is limited to 10 people.

Prior to workshop, all participants must fill out a health profile and release form.

"Why Marriage" Seminar with Kurt Hill and Sara Davenport
Cost: $75

For those who are about to embark on a committed relationship or are already in one – hetero or same sex. This seminar is for people who ask “why marriage” and “why marriage after 50?” if we are not interested in amphimexis (procreation.)

People are realizing that old stereotypes and standards do not apply to today’s expectations of relationship and/or marriage. Many of us are willing to postpone relationship intimacy until later in their lives. However, it appears that intimacy is something that today’s community is desperately seeking but unfortunately not finding.

Join us for a provocative look at relationships - whether we are just beginning or entrenched in middle age with more than one or two less-than-perfect relationships under our belts.

The text we’ll be following is the Stephanie Coontz “History of Marriage”, John Gray’s “What We Feel, We Can Heal”, Harville Hendrix “On Getting the Love You Want” and “The History of the Penis – A Mind of It’s Own.”

With discussion and interactive work, this seminar is not only about why, but how to. Moderated by Kurt Hill and Sara Davenport.
