A series of 3 evening dialogues presented by The Institute for Spirituality and Psychology (ISP) and Spirit Rock that explore the importance and timeliness of addressing the interface of spirituality and psychotherapy.

Historically a rift has existed between spiritual and psychological approaches to change. The dominant theories and practices in psychology have pathologized or ignored spiritual practices and experiences, despite strong evidence that spirituality is important to health and well-being. Yet research had made it increasingly clear that effective psychotherapy needs to encompass the spiritual dimensions of human beings.

Spirit Rock Meditation Center is dedicated to the teachings of the Buddha as presented in the Theravada tradition. The practice of mindful awareness, called Insight meditation (Vipassana), is at the heart of all the activities at Spirit Rock. The Center hosts a full program of ongoing classes, daylongs and residential retreats.
