Lifestyle Assessment and Spirituality
Personal belief systems often include core beliefs that are embedded in our private logic.

LIFE IS NOT BEING BUT BECOMING A. ADLER
This hands – on course provides participants with an overview of the Adlerian concepts on the development of the personality, apperceptions and inferiority feelings in early childhood. How is this linked to striving?Is striving positive or negative? Through discussions and practical activities insight is gained into these concepts and their influence in daily life.
BORN IN A WORLD OF GIANTS
Adler believed that the individual wants to move from a perceived minus to a perceived plus ,and this can turn striving into thriving. By exploring particular skills together with the concept of social interest this course offers a guide as to how movement towards the useful side of life can be achieved thus bypassing moving towards the useless side of life in today’s society
Young people are a valued part of the Summer School experience. Sessions for young people will be run during the time of the adult workshops.
The sessions will be run by two experienced facilitators, and will incorporate Adlerian principles of co-operation and encouragement. There will be games, creative activities, story telling and much more.
Young people will remain at all times the responsibility of the parent or guardian who brings them to Summer School.
