The 22nd Sumedha Sadhana is half
done. Another month to go.
During these past four weeks of the
Sadhana, participants explored the psychological dynamics on their spiritual
journey.
Using concepts from psychological theories
such as Eriksonian and Attachment, Jose Parappully helped participants to
relive their developmental history through theoretical inputs and experiential
exercises. He further helped them to examine the contours of their spiritual
journey through the lens of these developmental experiences.
Participants were further helped to
discover themselves and know more about their personalities through approaches
and techniques based on the psychology of Carl Jung. Ajoy Fernandes, helped
them discover their personality types (Myers-Briggs), recognise and redeem
their shadows and integrate their animus/anima.
Gerard Alvarez helped participants to
further deepen their self-understanding by
exploring with them their Personal Stories, the Story of the Universe
and the Jesus Story.
Through these different approaches and
techniques they have gained, the participants remarked, a deeper understanding
of themselves and the dynamics that drives their behaviours and relationships
and the way they live their spirituality, and also gain insights and tools to better
integrate and enhance their psychospiritual journey.
During the month the participants were also
privileged to receive a visit from Most Rev. Anthony Fernandes, the Bishop of
Bareilly. He spent around 45 minutes interacting with them and sharing with
them the history of Jeolikote and the Pastoral Centre which is now housing the
Sumedha Sadhana.
Psycohpspiritual wholeness journey was also enhance through participation in the celebration fo the Paschal Mysteries - the death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth.
The 22nd Sumedha Sadhana continues for another month.
And the 23rd Sumedha Sadhana commences on May 20 and concludes on June 30th. A few seats are available for this programme.
