Psychosexual
Integration and Celibate Maturity
The Director of Sumedha Centre, Jose
Parappully, did two workshops in Bangalore
at the beginning of the month.
The first was at the Don Bosco Provincial
House, Bangalore ,
on Psychosexual Integration and Celibate Maturity. The participants were
Rectors of Communities and Leaders of various Provincial Commissions. There
were around 45 participants for this two-day workshop on August 3 and 4.
Themes explored during the workshop included:
Psychosexual Integration and Emotional Maturity, Sexual Orientation and Sexual
Behaviours, Sexual Boundary Violations, Psychosexual Integration at Midlife and
Beyond, and Celibate Friendship.
Participants found the workshop “very, very
useful.” They “gained very practical
information and insights.”
One said this was the “most useful of the
workshops I have attended.” Another who had two other workshops on the theme
said “this was the best. This helped me to understand these important issues
better and given me ways and means to explore them with my trainees in more
effective ways.”
Basic Counselling
Skills Training
The second workshop was a six day affair,
from 5th to 10th August. This Basic Counselling Skills
Training workshop was held at National Biblical, Catechetical and Liturgical
Centre (NBCLC), Bangalore .
There were 43 participants from different
parts of the country. Most of them were leaders of communities or involved in
formation work.
Participants found the training extremely
useful. There was “an excellent blend of theory and practice.” The training,
the participants said, had given them “both confidence and competence” by
helping them develop required attitudes and skills.

Good for you Jose! You have such a competent, highly efficient, generous & fruitful personality and for sure your workshops on these themes are very much welcoming and highly appreciable and profitable to the participants. I wish, you do many more like this to larger numbers.
Good luck Jose!
