We will guide you through every stage in the process. You will be required to take several core courses and will also have the freedom to design the rest of your program in consultation with us.

The Power of Myth and Archetype (Fall 2024)

4-week online course with Mari Castle, PhD. November 12th, 19th, 26th, and December 3, 2024, at 2 pm EST.

Joseph Campbell firmly believes myths provide clues to our spiritual potential and that we should trust our inner guidance to understand the meaning of life not based solely on the external world but on the internal as well. Carl Jung's discovery of archetypes as images or symbols help us gain a deeper knowledge of the Self through identification. Together, along with holotropic states of consciousness, these powerful concepts can expand one's perspective to develop a deeper sense of wholeness. Cost: $198 or $150 if paid by October 1st.

Sacred Retreat in Greece - Toward the New Eleusis: The Rebirth of the Archetypal Vision and Reunion of the Sacred Feminine and Masculine

A Workshop in Grof(R) Breathwork, Archetypal Astrology, and Visits to Sacred Sites on the Mythic Island of Aegina (followed by a four-day workshop in Athens).

October 13-20, 2024

Join us for this special seven-day retreat on the mythic island of Aegina, sometimes referred to as the Mother of the heroic Greek bloodline. This enchanting and storied island south of Athens is the home of timeless temples to Aphaea and Apollo, abandoned medieval chapels, ancient olive groves, epic mountain trails with stunning vistas, and picturesque beaches. Each participant will experience four Grof(R) Breathwork sessions, twice as a breather and twice as a sitter, with integration and sharing sessions. There will also be presentations on archetypal astrology and the transformation of Greek myths in our time, readings in nature of some of the greatest ancient Greek verse in both Greek and English accompanied by lyre, a boat ride to a special islet nature sanctuary, dancing to a live Greek band, ancient ritual dance performance to lyre, visits to a museum, relaxing picnics and walks by the sea, swimming in the ocean, strolls through the charming town of Aegina, and demonstration of Hellenic Archetypal Expression.

Online Course: Death, Rebirth, and Embodiment of the Goddess in Greek Mythology (September 2024)

Course Description: In this course, we will discuss the profound concepts of ancient wisdom through Greek mythology and archetypes. We will explore specific Greek goddesses to understand how identifying with these archetypes can foster psycho-spiritual development of the Self. An examination of the concepts of death, rebirth, and embodiment will be described. We will better understand why reconnecting with ancient sacred sites can be powerful for self-transformation. A discussion on how uniting the masculine and feminine aspects within can benefit both individual self-growth and the collective consciousness of humanity.

​This course will be led by two sisters, residents of the island of Aegina, Eleni Skrekou, MA, MSc in Prehistoric Archaeology and Grof Studies student and Vasiliki Skrekou, MSc Consciousness & Transpersonal Psychology, Archetypal dancer and psychological astrologer, along with Mari Castle, PhD. 

​DATES: Wednesday, September 4, 11, 18, 25 at 12p Eastern, ETD

COST: $198 – $135 (discounted option available until August 28th, 2024

Connecting Nature With Our Inner God and Goddess (Spring 2025)

4-week on-line course with Mari Castle, PhD in April of 2025. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a literary masterpiece about man’s search for immortality, the confrontation of death, and the destruction of nature. Five thousand years ago the Sumerian culture celebrated the Sacred Marriage fertility rite as a way of symbolically connecting man to the divine. We will explore how the symbolism of these closely connected myths have affected mankind along with C.G. Jung's balance of masculine/feminine, animus/anima principles.

Dates TBA - at 2 pm EST.

Cost: $198 or $150 early-bird rate.

Working with Natal and Transit Astrology Charts in Supporting Non-Ordinary State Journeys - May 14-19th, 2024

The first collaborative workshop between Grof Legacy Training USA and the Grof Studies Program at Ubiquity University, this residential retreat combines four experiences of Grof® Breathwork (two as breather and two as sitter) with training in the use of natal and transit astrology for deepening understanding of non-ordinary state journeys.

Whether you are an astrological novice or expert, this workshop will offer the opportunity to consider your own breathwork experiences through an astrological lens as well as the chance to learn from the experiences of your peers. We anticipate offering at least two tracks at the workshop, to facilitate learning for those completely new to astrology as well as those with experience. The workshop staff will include several archetypal astrologers who will guide small group discussions throughout the week, allowing understandings to emerge and deepen no matter your level of experience.
