Welcome to Pacifica Online
Depth Perspectives for Life Long Learning

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.”
