MA In Transpersonal Psychology

Transpersonal Psychology is a branch of psychology that is concerned with the study of those states and processes in which people experience a deeper or wider sense of who they are, or a sense of greater connectedness with others, nature, or the "spiritual" dimension. It is about the seen and the unseen, the conscious and the unconscious beliefs that guide people's everyday beliefs, motivations, and behaviors. Transpersonal Psychology is the study of the "whole" human being, mind, body, and spirit, combining insight from both Eastern and Western thinking.
