Roger Walsh holds PhD’s in psychology, anthropology and has an MD with a specialty in psychiatry. He has turned his attention to the study of spirituality and it’s intersection with psychotherapy, offering the fruits of his work in this very enjoyable daylong workshop.

A clinician, writer, teacher, and lifelong learner, Dr. Walsh has studied the deeper meanings of work and therapy for the past 25 years. Focusing on the timeless wisdom of both Eastern and Western thought, he takes the student on a journey of professional self-examination and self-renewal, taking time to think and reflect on what our work means to us. Deeply concerned with the pace and fragmenting quality of today's busy life, and the effect that has on the professional and healer, he guides us to recall the inspiration that draws us to this "work" and to identify a vision of optimal professional life.

Considerable research and clinical evidence suggests that contemplative practices can ameliorate many of these problems and can offer significant psychological and physical benefits to both clients and therapists. Once limited to religious settings, contemplative practices and perspectives are now part of the psychological and medical mainstream. Several hundred research studies of meditation alone demonstrate that it can treat a wide variety of psychological and psychosomatic disorders, and in healthy individuals it can enhance psychological, spiritual and physical well-being, even beyond conventional norms.
