We believe some people have a better aptitude for helping and empowering others. These are the people towards whom others are naturally drawn to discuss their issues and take support. These are the people who naturally slip into leadership, mentoring or teaching roles.

We believe that we are born whole and complete. As we grow up and adapt to society, we develop psychological blocks which fragment our wholeness, decrease self esteem and leave us feeling incomplete.

We believe that each person carries the answers to his/her life within them - what we call Inner Wisdom. Dissolving our blocks allows each of us to be in touch with our Inner Wisdom, bringing a unique, confident, creative and joyous quality to everyday living.

Helping others effectively requires helpers to dissolve their own blocks, have a strong sense of self-esteem, emotional awareness, open mindset and a structured approach. Traditional counselling courses focus on the theoretical basis of helping, and leave a critical gap in the counsellor’s self-development.

The Spirit-Ed Counsellor is designed to take people with the right aptitude, who may or may not have a background in psychology, through a journey that experientially guides them towards being stronger, confident, creative, spiritually educated individuals who can facilitate empowerment in every human interaction.

Our belief system is inspired by a holistic integration of modern psychology with learning from the Vedas, Yoga, Meditation, Buddhism, Zen and Tao. In the 13 years that we’ve conducted this course, our beliefs have been reinforced repeatedly as we’ve seen people from diverse backgrounds, numerous career paths, contrasting ideologies and different life stages come together for this remarkable journey, and discovered friendship, love, support and empowerment.
