In this interactive webinar, we’ll explore how psychosynthesis can help people through the Great Unraveling of society and the natural world that is accelerating today after generations of exploitation and neglect.
Under colonial expansion and rule, indigenous, brown, black, and impoverished communities have carried the weight of the unraveling for centuries. Now the climate itself is unraveling world-wide and the Sixth Great Extinction of species is underway. Whole ecosystems are being destroyed. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread to every corner of the Earth, leaving death, trauma, and economic hardship in its wake. This suite of collective crises arise from our now-global civilization’s relationship with Life, its underlying beliefs and values and no-longer-fit-for-purpose structures.
How can psychosynthesis serve humanity in this time of crises, suffering, and loss?
The September AAP Quarterly (publication date 9/1/20) will begin this conversation with several thoughtful and heartful essays and poetry, which we recommend reading in preparation for this webinar. Molly, Richard, and possibly some of the other authors will share their thoughts and feelings, interspersed with small group exercises and discussions.
Learning objectives. Through this webinar, participants will be better able to:
- Recognize the consciousness and agency inherent in all living beings
- Identify with the Ecological Self
- Acknowledge and accept the reality of the Great Unraveling in all its manifestations
- Accept our collective responsibility for changing human systems that are destructive to life.
The webinar is FREE to members & $25 for non-members.
Deadline to register is Wednesday, September 23, 2020

Richard Lamb lives in England, UK, working part-time as a Psychosynthesis Coach and Hypnotherapist, working with people in a 'Life Transitions Coaching' context since 2014.
His Call of Self began in earnest when he travelled to Sicily for a Psychosynthesis conference, where he met Didi Firman, director of training at the Synthesis Center in 2016, and proceeded to deepen his psychosynthesis training by signing up to the Synthesis Center's Transformational Life Coaching Program in fall of 2016.
Since certification in 2017 Richard continues to integrate Psychosynthesis throughout his endeavors. Richard now brings his perspectives on “deep time” through his experiences as an archaeologist and ancient environmental change researcher, focusing his attentions on the role Psychosynthesis can play in the growing eco-psychology movement, and the Great Unravelling.
