CRAZY WISDOM
How to relate to everyday altered and extreme states?
Seminar by Bogna Szymkiewicz and Sergi Barrientos
Altered states of consciousness have always been part of human’s life. Today, we keep looking for them in quiet meditations or loud clubs, or they chase us through addictions, moods and intense emotions. Though Western cultures relegated lots of altered states to the realm of pathology, more and more we see that they contain lots of hidden wisdom. We are afraid of losing control, yet if we can dive into such states with awareness we can find treasures that would enrich our lives.

Messages and awareness
Every symptom, dream, diversity and conflict, internal and external, has a message for us. We can integrate it or marginalise it. If we can integrate it, our life becomes one of flow and enrichment. If we marginalise it, our life becomes heavy, difficult, conflictual, superficial. We make this choice continuously, every day, all our life, most of the time unconsciously.
Develop the awareness necessary to live more fluidly and with greater awareness.
This is Arte del Processo. Have a good journey!

What is Processwork?
It is a discipline that is both theoretical and experiential, rooted in Jungian, transpersonal and systemic psychology and ancient wisdom traditions such as Taoism.
Whilst all these traditions and schools of thought may seem very different at a glance – they are in fact all united by a common thread – an understanding of the nature of LIFE AS A PROCESS – and the experience of how healing it is in any situation – when we are able to read and include the underlying process – such that ALL the different elements are included and all voices are welcomed.
The father of Processwork – Arnold Mindell – physicist and Junghian analyst, discovered that the same patterns that reveal themselves through our night dreams are also recognisable in our bodily symptoms – once we know how to look for them. From this, a model was developed READ MORE…

A democracy in which the majority irretrievably wins over the minority is no longer enough for us.
We seek new ways to gain awareness of how we use our privileges and the impact of our behaviour on all levels, welcoming and exploring the value of diversity and bringing social innovation through inner awareness.
for us, being ourselves is an act of social responsibility. Learn more at
