When psychology and spirituality meet

Discover a holistic path of liberating transformation

Many of us have chosen to take the integrative path that combines psychology and spirituality, therapy and meditation. This feels intuitively right and natural. However, these two aspects of the path sometimes seem to clash and contradict one another especially when we are lacking a unified perspective.

How can we go through a journey of awareness that honors and includes these two approaches in a way that can truly benefit us?  

The search for the meeting point between spirituality and psychology has occupied both Itai Ivzan and Shai Tubali for many years. For Itai, this question has led him to his expertise in transpersonal psychology and mindfulness and to the discovery of awareness as the common thread for transformation.

For Shai, this question has propelled him to develop methods that utilize the power of higher states of consciousness for the sake of emotional transformation.

Now the two invite you to join in a transformative dialogue: how can you activate and harmonize both perspectives and practices in your life and realize your psychological holistic self without losing sight of the spiritual reality of no-self? 

Join us on this four-day retreat, dedicated to this passionate inner discovery through cognitive, emotional, and experiential practice.

when PSYCHOLOGY AND SPIRITUALITY meet TO FLOURISH INTO EACH OTHER

A complete paradigm shift

The most significant difference between spirituality and psychology lies in their approach to the self: psychology aims to improve and correct the self, whereas spirituality strives to dissolve it.

In other words, psychology allows us to establish a relationship with the self and become aware of its segments – while spirituality invites us to dissolve the self that psychology reflects for us.

Nowadays, there is a booming interest in self-healing and self-love. Many people are becoming aware of their traumas and wounded selves. As a result, they turn to different types of therapy and healing. On the other hand, ancient spiritual teachings like Buddhism and Hinduism tell us that our personal self is an illusion.

With our growing psychological awareness, it seems no longer possible to embrace the spiritual teachings while ignoring our need for therapy. Somehow, the two approaches need to flourish within us and to empower one another. Spirituality without psychology ends in spiritual bypassing; psychology without spirituality can greatly limit our knowledge of our expanded Self.

We need to offer a complete paradigm shift.

Lead New World

WHAT AWAITS YOU

If you have been attracted to, and in need of, both approaches, you will find these questions fascinating:

How do you know that you’re not getting stuck in psychological processes only to avoid deeper truths and realities?

Are we here to improve the ego or dissolve it?

Is this a linear process, in which you first develop yourself psychologically and only then progress on a spiritual level?

Can you go through self-transformation and self-improvement at the same time?

How do you face darkness, turbulent emotions, and ego from each perspective (psychological and spiritual) – and how do you combine both to create a wholesome approach?

Can meditation replace therapy? How do you know that you’re not spiritually bypassing – avoiding important issues in your life – when you choose the no-self perspective?

What does a spiritual life that embraces therapy look like? And how can we invoke spiritual practices to enhance our therapeutic processes?

FEEDBACK

This is what enthusiastic participants say

“For me, a new door has opened where I have more power and use my energy purposefully and not just waste it in emotions that I misunderstood before. At the same time, I can now accompany clients and friends on this path as well, to feel in and discover this inner wisdom that is in all of us.

At one point I asked myself: why didn’t I learn about this earlier? Why didn’t I do this much earlier? Because I think that’s the foundation to really understanding what it means to be human.”

Max Schwindt

Transformational Coach, Engineer

“I have done a lot of different trainings in the spiritual field, but none of the previous ones could establish these deep, lasting changes in me like the School with Shai. This school is a perfect blend of teaching, deep insights and transformational processes. It helps tremendously in developing a deeper understanding of our humanity, understanding the superman power of consciousness, and making real shifts in being. I have never experienced anything like this before! This school is making a significant contribution to the growth and maturation of humanity.”

"My personal transformation process was an immense opening to the inner source."

“My personal transformation process was an immense opening to the inner source.

This connectedness, from which I can draw at any time in order to give, is probably the most sacred thing I have realised. I have experienced so much peace in my being that emotions no longer take up so much space. I react much more calmly and clearly when a storm breaks in from the outside. Decisions are no longer based on offended ego, but in compassion and peace.

I would definitely recommend this training. This training is key and there is probably no one who could not use this kind of healing. Especially now in this time when there is a global awakening going on.”

Medical Doctor, Meditation Teacher

"It is a haven for true seekers of truth and transformation."

“The meditation retreats with Shai Tubali had been one of the greatest engines of true spiritual transformation for me, combining profound spiritual wisdom, with crystal clear guidance, imbued with depth and inspiration. Shai is a true master of spirit, and the atmosphere in the retreats is highly supportive and well thought through- it is evident that every little detail is taken into consideration, in order to create a highly transformative and empowering spiritual field. It is a haven for true seekers of truth and transformation.”

Dr. Bettina Preney

Literary scholar

"It is a wonderful intimate journey to oneSelf. "
Last Summer I experienced already a Silent Retreat with Shai Tubali. It is a wonderful intimate journey to oneSelf.

Bathing in Shai’s pure Energy, we are cleansing and purifying ourselves – like in a bath of Light.

Especially his powerful Life-Force-Meditations let us experience the Unity we are – since I am sure that there are no real boundaries between us – that we are all this flowing Life-Energy.

Really, that gives such happiness!

In the time between the meetings with Shai, we can walk in beautiful landscapes, Yoga-exercises are proposed, Dynamic Meditation – and last not least, we have delicious vegan food.

So, I’m really grateful that I can participate in this new Retreat 2023, thank you for organizing such beautiful events!

"This Universe is unbelievable and full of miracles – and so is this retreat! "
“After a meditation I had the gift to sink deep into the intimacy of my true essence, losing all boundaries and merging with a happiness which was so unconditional and nourishing that no words can describe it.

This Universe is unbelievable and full of miracles – and so is this retreat!

Thank you with all of my heart for all the Love!”

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

How the Retreat is structured

During this retreat, Itai and Shai will be teaching together, in a form of open and spontaneous dialogue, based on short teachings and direct responses to participants, in which they will offer reflections together.

These teaching sessions will be empowered by techniques that will be guided by both Itai and Shai. Each of them will introduce the techniques that have been truly effective in their own practice and that they deem the most beneficial for this integrative path. Practices will include psychological shadow work, mindfulness exercises, breathwork, writing exercises, nature meditation, meditation (silent sitting), expansion techniques, and mindful games.

TIP
01 Thursday
After gathering on Thursday and being introduced to the process in an opening session, our intensive work together will begin on Friday.
02 Friday

Friday’s first part will be dedicated to the first half of the picture: introducing and practicing the psychological approach and solutions.

Friday’s second part will be devoted to introducing and practicing the spiritual transformative perspective and its solutions.

03 Saturday
On the basis of this theoretical and practical foundation, we will be able to move to greater depths on Saturday. Our Saturday, which will be a half day of silence, will focus on the meeting point: bringing psychology and spirituality together, based on transpersonal psychology, the principle of awareness, breathwork, a holistic perspective of transformation, and the tantric teachings.
04 Sunday
Sunday, our concluding day (which will end at noon time), will help us to grasp the implications of all that we have realized.
