A Training in Psychosynthesis for Personal Growth & Professional Practice
Psychosynthesis is a transpersonal and practical psychology that supports greater awareness, inner freedom, purpose, creativity, relationship, and the conscious use of will.
Rather than teaching coaching as a set of techniques alone, this training invites participants into their own ongoing process of development while cultivating the presence, capacities, and practical skills needed to accompany others with greater depth, discernment, and care.
Our training is experiential is, grounded in the principles and practices of psychosynthesis.
The training supports coaches, helping professionals, educators, practitioners, creatives, and those drawn to the relationship between personal development, purpose, will, and social transformation.
The Emerging Synthesis Method™
At the heart of Pi’s training is an evolving model that brings the stages of the Act of Will into relationship with the core experiences of psychosynthesis.
Rather than approaching these as separate teachings, the Synthesis Method™ weaves them into an integrated process for personal development, coach training, and purposeful action.
Participants journey through purpose, deliberation, choice, affirmation, planning, and action, while cultivating awareness, disidentification, inner freedom, imagination, relationship, synthesis, and connection with Self.
The result is a practical and transpersonal framework applicable to coaching self and others in accompanying the movement from what is emerging within, toward what is ready to take form in life.
Who This Training Is For
Participants come to this training from a wide range of personal, professional, and cultural backgrounds.

A Personal & Professional Journey
This training is both a professional qualification and a journey of personal development.
Participants explore the foundations of psychosynthesis while developing coaching presence, psychological understanding, practical methods, ethical awareness, and the capacity to work with purpose, values, will, life transitions, creativity, and the unfolding of human potential.
Attention is also given to cultural awareness, inclusive and responsive practice, power and context, right human relations, and the role of personal transformation in contributing to wider social change.

Doctrinal Neutrality
Roberto Assagioli intended psychosynthesis to be independent of any religious dogma or identification. He understood psychosynthesis as both scientific and spiritual, while remaining neutral with regard to specific metaphysical or religious positions. As he wrote:
“Psychosynthesis takes people to the door of the mystery, but the responsibility of taking the next step is their choice. I wish to clarify that psychosynthesis, as a scientific conception and as bio-psychotherapeutic activity, does not take any specific position, neither metaphysical nor religious; it bestows the greatest value to these activities of the human spirit, but in no way does it try to invade their field; it arrives at the threshold of the mystery, and there it stops.”
~ Roberto Assagioli, “Psychosomatic Medicine & Bio-psychosynthesis,” Rome, 1967
We do not promote any specific religious or spiritual doctrine in our programs. Participants from all spiritual, religious, secular, and philosophical backgrounds are welcome.
Each person is free to define transpersonal experience, understanding, and practice in their own way. Consistent with this, we believe that every person should be treated with dignity and respect.
We invite everyone participating in live webinars, online sharing, discussion, and co-guiding practice to bring goodwill, skillful will, kindness, and acceptance. We ask participants to respect the privacy of personal and professional information shared within the learning community and to come aligned with purpose, presence, and a willingness to give time and energy to the work.
Our commitment is to respect the autonomy and self-determination of our team, students, and clients. This commitment is held alongside our responsibility to maintain a safe and ethical learning environment.
Inclusivity
Roberto Assagioli developed psychosynthesis as “a dynamic and synthetic conception of the human being.” He described self-realization on the personal level as a stage toward inter-individual “right relations” and, ultimately, toward the unification of humanity.
As psychosynthesis coaches, our work with clients includes accompanying the journey of self-realization as both we and those we serve continue to move toward what Assagioli described, in stages, as “the psychosynthesis of humanity.”
We value and appreciate differences among people, including those of race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, functional ability, socio-economic status, age, religious or spiritual identification, and other aspects that comprise identity.
We believe that a commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion supports human growth and development and enhances the quality of life for all. Continuing to expand our own awareness and deepen our understanding of cultural, social, racial, and individual diversity is an ongoing commitment.
Our work is a continuing process of infusing these commitments into our programs and of becoming an anti-racist, inclusive organization in service of right human relations and the wider psychosynthesis of humanity.
We are actively engaged in projects that seek to make psychosynthesis more accessible and responsive to a new global generation, with resources and an orientation that support more equitable, diverse, and inclusive psychosynthesis initiatives.
We recognize this as a large and ongoing vision, one that requires strength of purpose, persistence, patience, and skillful action. It asks us to draw upon goodwill, courage, and transpersonal will as we participate in the long work of personal, relational, and social transformation.
