• Typically, Eastern meditation emphasizes how to cultivate higher states of consciousness that "go beyond" ego identifications, while Western therapy focuses on how to "work through" problematic states.
• This workshop explores an integrative model that suggests how to use both approaches in a complementary way: sometimes "transcending, sometimes "transforming", and often doing both at the same time.
• The connection between meditation, generative trance, and selfrelations will be a central focus.
• Educational Objectives: To compare and contrast the Western and Eastern models of transformational change.
