“…Jungian psychologists use the term individuation as a movement toward wholeness that includes the appearance of difficulties, struggles, adversities, and their subsequent resolutions (Jung, 1964; Vaughan, 2013). It is a fact that challenges and difficulties grow our personal and professional identities (Daniels, 2005; Kelchtermans, 2009; Meijer, 2011; Rolls & Plauborg, 2009). The term transformation is a noun that names the act of transforming or changing.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine teacher perceptions of the long-term transformative impact of Piirto’s Creativity Model and personal creativity exploration on teachers. Creativity training has been part of Ashland University’s Talent Development program for over 20 years using Piirto’s creativity model. The course encompasses multiple models of creativity, including the Torrance Incubation Model and Creative Problem Solving; however, significant time focuses on teachers’ own creativity through activities such as thoughtlogs, a Meditation Day field trip, and a personal creativity project. This study examines alumni perceptions of personal creativity exploration on their teaching lives. Data were collected through surveys and interviews. Questions include course memories, perception of the course’s impact on teaching and personal transformation. Results show that the course models community and group trust, and teachers increased understanding and valuing of their own creativity and that of students.

“…If indeed there is a spiritual component to Earth connection then transpersonal psychology is ideally placed to study this, due to its association with religious and spiritual experiences, as well as its focus on how individual and collective transformation can occur through a connection to nature (Daniels, 2015).…”

This study explored direct experiences of women’s relationships with the Earth and how this impacted their lives. Using the transpersonal research methodology of intuitive inquiry, 10 White Western women aged between 36 and 64 were interviewed. Thematic content analysis was used to identify the emerging themes within the data and create descriptive summaries. The research found that connecting to the Earth may help us (a) process difficult emotions and experience more positive ones; (b) stay present and deal with life more effectively; (c) feel in control of changes in our lives; (d) realise that we need to give back to the Earth for what it provides for us; (e) expand our sense of self to include a sense of a divine cycle of life, and; (f) feel part of the Earth as we develop a clearer sense of who we are on an individual level. A definition of Earth connection is proposed: Earth connection is a subjective sense of feeling part of the Earth. It helps an individual to gain a deeper sense of who they are within a divine cycle of life. It also promotes a sense of a reciprocal relationship between an individual and the Earth.

“…This process often includes the experience of rebirth or liberation (Assagioli, 1969), as well as a drive to be immersed in humanity (Maslow, 1971), to take responsibility for one's behaviors and to engage selflessly in the world to serve others (Maslow, 1971;Vaughan, 1981). Although not viewed as a primary force by many, transpersonal psychology continues to make contributions to the field through multinational and international associations in over 18 countries, national and international conferences, and professional journals and textbooks that continue to feature transpersonal psychology as one of the foundational theoretical models in the field (e.g., Fadiman & Frager, 2013; for a current description of transpersonal psychology and its history, see M. Daniels, 2013;Friedman & Hartelius, 2013).…”

The lens through which one views the evolution of psychotherapy is shaped by historical, sociopolitical, philosophical, and cultural worldviews and movements, as well as by relevant scientific discoveries, global developments, and ecological changes. One popular way to frame the evolution of personality theory and psychotherapy is through the concept of forces or paradigms that shape the field. The first three of these forces are commonly presented as psychoanalytic, behavioral, and humanistic-existential (e.g., Friedlander,
