Psychosynthesis, Faith & the Infinite: A Soul Journey with Catherine Ann Lombard
This is the first part of my conversation with Molly Young Brown — a dear colleague and one of the early voices of psychosynthesis in the U.S.
In this enriching conversation, I’m joined by Roger H. Evans,co-founder of the Institute of Psychosynthesis in London and one of the early pioneers of transpersonal psychology in Europe.
In this conversation, I sit down with psychosynthesis psychotherapist Anja Bjørlo to explore one of the most pressing issues of our time: the impact of social media on our sense of self. Together, we examine how the constant pressure to present a polished, idealized version of ourselves can create deep anxiety, inner conflict, and disconnection from our true nature. We discuss the concept of the “survival personality” and how early conditioning shapes the masks we wear to gain acceptance. Through the lens of psychosynthesis, we offer a path toward reclaiming your authentic identity—one rooted not in likes or external validation, but in the loving observer within.
In this rich and soul-stirring conversation, I sit down with Michael Lindfield, President of Meditation Mount, to explore the inner foundations of psychosynthesis, creativemeditation, and the evolving legacy of Roberto Assagioli.
