Pacifica Retreat has been such a joy to participate in. Because of distance issues and also because I am financially unable to do the whole college experience, it gives me a way to participate in in depth learnings in an affordable and manageable way. I LOVE any and all online programs!!!

“I am so grateful to you for putting this series together.   I am now a late-in-life student of Jungian psychology and have been so moved by this series, especially the lectures and conversations led by Ursula. Her request for feedback from those of us who perhaps are reticent to speak, landed in my heart.   I would like Ursula to know how much her humanity and depth of understanding have created a climate of possibility and understanding in my life.  This discussion on hope and despair has helped me to reconsider my definition of hope, a word which I have wondered about for a very long time.  Her offering of quotations from philosophers and spiritual teachers have also deepened my thoughts about this subject.   Most of all though, are Ursula’s acceptance and love of the seeker within strikes a resonance which I trust will be with me in this last part of my life. I think of her as Love in Action.”

“Thank you so much for the opportunity to listen to Elizabeth Nelson, so profound and so much to read up and reflect on. Such as Ragnarok… and the comparison between Saturn and Ereshkigal and Maat. And the poems Elizabeth shared. All very touching for the heart-soul.”

“The content and style of presentation of this remarkable conference on the spiritual aspect of aging & later life establishes a new genre in the field of Continuing Education for therapists. In addition to personal experience, all therapists deal with patients who may experience challenges regarding the issues of aging, fear of loss of control, sickness, and death, and this conference provides for therapists a spiritual toolbox for themselves and for helping their patients to progress through this heretofore neglected area of the life cycle. Since “none of us get out of this alive,” a regular offering of this conference on “The Inner Work of Aging: Shifting From Role to Soul” seems as relevant and necessary for all therapists’ continuing education as the other required areas of CE, such as Treatment of Anxiety & Depression, Child & Elder Abuse, Substance Abuse, Suicidality, etc.”

“I absolutely loved the Ecopsychology Advanced certificate with Pacifica. I am still learning from it and I completed it in 2021. We were given so much great information.”

“I feel grateful for the opportunity to participate in what pacifica is bringing to the world while being in greece. i believe that what pacifica taps into is where our hope for the future lies.”

“I loved working on the certification program in ecopsychology. The instructors and interactions with other participants were fantastic.”

“These programs have been integral to both my personal and professional development after my degree from Pacifica more than 20 years ago.”

“Loved the instructors and breadth of curriculum. Also, the extensive resources were excellent.”

“Fantastic introduction to ecopsychology – tremendous amount of knowledge and information well presented. More than just an overview, however – structure, content and instructors’ facilitation/presentation skills allowed me to go deeper than I expected, given the time frame. I loved that each instructor presented such a unique, yet connected, perspective / area of expertise.“

“I absolutely LOVED everything about this program. The instructors in particular were wonderful examples of educators and human beings. the content was rigorous and generous but the requirements were not outrageous for people working two jobs.”

“The program was truly amazing and exceeded my expectations. I appreciated the depth and breadth of the material provided and the presenters knowledge and ability to facilitate discussion.”

“Exceptional experience. It changed my life and the way I will practice psychology moving forward. The lectures, resource articles and YouTube videos were wonderfully selected. I will go back and watch them all before I lose access. They were all so interesting! The instructors, especially Linda and Jeanine were so enlightening I found myself not talking, but just listening and absorbing every word. I was able to apply what I learned each week to my sessions with my patients and found them to be very enthusiastic about the ecohomework assignments I made.”

“Overall excellent course — it was both personally and professionally transformative. I especially appreciated the progression within the course, beginning with a theoretical foundation, deepening to issues of equity and impact, then reviewing ecotherapy possibilities and ending with the psycho-spiritual aspects of depth and terra psychology, with a call to action. Absolutely brilliant.”

“It feels like Pacifica chose the best of the best to facilitate learning for this program! I feel so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from such extraordinary teachers in this field. The amount of information and materials we received was above and beyond my expectations for the course. I am excited to look back and review all of the materials and extra readings now that there is more time.”
