Jungian Coaching School - AfricaLecturer

Apr. 2022Johannesburg Metropolitan AreaIn our different ways and on our unique journeys we have been involved in different aspects of leadership development, people growth, multi-culturalism and positive psychology for more than two decades. Just as a tapestry grows over time and as new colours are woven in so we have created an eclectic offering. With a mix of industrial psychology, organisational development and change, spiral dynamics, emotional intelligence, typology and various specialised facilitation techniques to support growth on individual, group and organisational levels in the context of the industry and society. For a long time, we searched for a way to offer an individuation coaching journey, underpinned by archetypal wisdom and storytelling, as a way to help people find their own voice. In this search, from our different fields of interests, we discovered the work of Dr Avi Goren-Bar. In a way, we came full circle in our organisational development group practice that was Jungian based. We are honoured to offer the Jungian Coaching School Africa, with Dr Avi Goren-Bar. The ICF accreditation provides the required depth, credibility, the continuous development points that are needed to continue growing and creating a life-long learning experience. This is a journey for all – whether you are a hero that heard a call and want to make life decisions, maybe you need to remember what makes you uniquely you, maybe you come from a minority group and could not express your voice? The wise words of Jung that said that we must make an adult choice of becoming fulfilled or cynical when we are old, highlights the importance of the journey for us all.

Centre of Human EmergenceCentre of Human Emergence Africa

Jan. 2017Johannesburg Area, South Africa“The Center for Human Emergence will help facilitate the conscious emergence of the human species using a synthesis of profound breakthroughs in human knowledge and capabilities, encompassing natural pattern coherence, mega-integration, unification, expanded whole mind capacity, deep intelligence and consciousness" Don Beck The Center for Human Emergence (CHE) will function as a global facilitator of the conscious evolution of the human species. It is part of a major international force for encouraging and facilitating a conscious or "directed" cultural evolution in the world. It will operate on a number of levels, including understanding - in a far more comprehensive way than in the past - the cultural underpinnings that drive human behavior, and will be focused on unification rather than fragmentation, presuming that cooperation is more in line with the future we need than competition. CHE will thus find innovative solutions for some of the most complex problems facing the world today, encouraging the development of new tools for making sense of the change that surrounds us, as well as actively helping humanity to embrace new values and perspectives that could provide the framework for significant change. The (CHE) will provide the foundation of a new international framework for facilitating the transition toward a new era for humanity that better addresses the most fundamental problems that we confront. Dr Rica Viljoen is the convener of the Centre of Human Emergence Africa
