“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”
Søren Kierkegaard
We are delighted to be collaborating with Hetty and Christopher, both of whom we have known for many years, in offering this programme, with the option of participating in one, two or three modules.
Transpersonal coaching is based on transpersonal psychology and actively engages with our Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) building on Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and ecosystemic thinking to enable deeper and broader perspectives on the challenges we face today.
The original 2-day workshop was designed by Hetty Einzig and coaching pioneer John Whitmore based on the psychosynthesis model of Roberto Assagioli. Hetty worked with John for many years, shaping the field of Transpersonal Coaching and extending the reach of coaching within organisations. Hetty’s longtime colleague Christopher Connolly has now joined her. Christopher is deeply trained in psychosynthesis and an expert in how we can successfully navigate transitions in work and in life.
Hetty and Christopher have designed an enriched programme drawing both from the roots of the transpersonal and from transition expertise framing it in the context of our current era, often called the Great Turning. As humanity starts to awaken to the current global crises – environmental, social and psycho-spiritual – loss, grief, anger and guilt are coming to the fore. Just as all crises generate opportunities, at the same time we are turning to embrace more life-enhancing ways to inhabit this Earth. Mourning and Regeneration are the key themes of our time. Coaches have a key role to play and the transpersonal offers models, approaches and tools to work proactively with what can be called the Great Transition.
Transpersonal coaching proposes a view of existence and a way of looking at reality in which our sense of identity extends beyond (trans) the individual or personal to encompass wider aspects of humankind, life, psyche and cosmos. The transpersonal emphasises our interdependence, includes the collective and the universal, and goes beyond the psyche to include the spiritual – that which fires and sustains our spirit.
The programme offers effective models and tools based within a robust, ethical framework of ‘secular spirituality’ (Einzig 2017) that together can support coaches as they partner with leaders, helping them adapt to change, but also to enact change for pro-social, beyond-self goals. Now more than ever, when the capacity to engage with critical and urgent global challenges is key, we need to work holistically, ecosystemically, ethically and with a networked mindset.
This 3-module programme will give you values-based coaching principles and techniques to help your clients discover the power and effectiveness of who they are and create deep and meaningful change. Practising transpersonal coaching will help you understand how self-mastery, multiplicity, authenticity and whole ecosystems are paramount to authentic and effective leadership of oneself and others.

To participate in Transpersonal Coaching Module 2 and Module 3 you need to have completed the preceding modules.
It is possible to participate in Modules 2 and 3 in your own time frame, however we recommend doing all three modules within the same 12 month period, as the modules build on each other, deepening your understanding and practice. The 3 modules together make up a robust programme that strengthens and embeds the learning, making for a more enriching experience.
We are in the process of applying to get the 3-module programme accredited with the Association for Coaching (AC). Accreditation will require participants to complete all 3 modules and fulfil the between-module requirements for coaching hours, self-study and a reflective journal of practice.
If you wish to take all 3 modules please let us know before you register for Module 1 so we can share the accreditation requirements with you and discuss your learning pathway.
Dates and costings of each module are detailed below. If you book two modules together at the same time we offer a £200 discount on the combined full price. If you book all three modules together we will apply a £300 discount to the combined full price. Module 1 is online with modules 2 and 3 in-person.
