Or are you just interested in learning about alternative approaches to mental health? This webinar is an excellent introduction for those interested in the risks and benefits of working with non-ordinary states of consciousness.

The term "spiritual emergency" was coined by Stanislav and Christina Grof. The term, as the Grof's mention, is a play on words. The word "emergency" suggests a psychological or spiritual crisis, but it also hints towards an opportunity to "emerge" from the crisis -- accessing and gaining a higher level of spiritual and psychological awareness
