Richard Harvey
connecting psychotherapy and spiritual growth for human awakening
This page lists day workshops, weekend workshops, and “other workshops” in date order. The workshops are intended to deepen and enrich through insight and understanding, both experiential and intellectual. Except where listed in “other workshops”, they take place in a beautiful and peaceful setting in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Southern Spain at weekends.
To help you decide which workshop is right for you, consider which theme attracts you most. If you are entirely new to personal growth, An Introduction to Inner Work is the best place to start. All the workshops are open to beginners or those with experience of inner work, both individuals and couples. For more information about working in groups see this interview about group therapy.
Please also see courses for further exploration and deepening on your inner journey. For longer courses see the Psycho-Spiritual Development Course and for training with Richard see the Psycho-Spiritual Training Group. The calendar listing provides dates of all courses and workshops.
RELATIONSHIPS AND INTIMACYSunday 26 February 2012 Opening and Sustaining Our Connection with Others
Energetically and emotionally we may close ourselves off from others so that when we meet someone we are attracted to our true feelings are hidden and unavailable to us. Learning to open to these feelings brings the deeper challenge of sustaining the life of a relationship by remaining open and working with the opportunities that deepening in relationship brings. In this workshop we explore our needs, desires and resistance to intimacy.
WORKING WITH DREAMSSunday 25 March 2012 Unlocking and Understanding Our Unconscious Guidance and Wisdom
Dreams are a communication from our hidden depths, from the wise, unconscious part of us that is inhibited and censored by our conscious minds. Dreams can tell us what we really want, but are afraid to admit to, and they show us how we can get what we want. Dreams tell us about our relationships, career and life direction. Dreams reveal our destinies and authentic self and reveal our true purpose and life path. In this workshop we explore your dreams, learn how to keep an effective dream diary and learn a simple but effective method to unlock and understand what your dreams are saying to you.
HEALING ANGER Sunday 28 Oct 2012 Exploring the Transformative Energy of Emotions
Although we become attached—even enslaved—to anger, it is rarely a deep emotion. Usually it shields us from the deeper feelings of hurt, pain, grief and fear. When we understand the role of anger clearly, we can choose to deepen into the feelings and personal issues which truly call for our attention and resolution.
AN INTRODUCTION TO INNER WORKSunday 25 November 2012 The Keys to Self-Discovery
A safe and supportive place to explore feelings, life issues and patterns, and develop your awareness of yourself in a non-judgmental and accepting environment. Our aim is to clarify, empower and enable you in whatever you are presently facing in your life. This workshop may include bodywork, imagery, breathing or awareness exercises, however, there is no pressure on anyone to take part in group exercises that are not right for them. Everybody is encouraged and respected in being who they are and in going at their own pace. Open to both individuals and couples.
MYTHWORKING28–29 April 2012 Unlocking and Understanding Collective Guidance and Wisdom
Our individual selves stand before a larger arena which provides the context for our lives. Knowing this context and our role in it is synonymous with knowing who we are. In transitional stages of life we are confronted with outward rituals that stem from wise tradition steeped in the deep knowledge of what it is to be human. Although these ceremonies and rituals arise in the unconscious mind, they insist on being acted out in the world to facilitate our psycho-spiritual development. Accepting the invitation of myth is to ritualize inner images and thresholds, to bridge the gap between the inner and outer worlds through honoring the changes and depth of our inner world.
BUILDING A CITY OF LIGHT 24–25 November 2012 Societal and Cultural Implications of Personal Growth and Psycho-Spiritual Development
Our sense of community begins with the community of selves within. We live in a threefold context of self, others and the wider world. We are connected and interdependent. Even our personal autonomy and independence exist within the wider context of our interdependence. For our preservation, survival and flourishing we are so connected as to form a single whole. Yet many of us are confused about what we need, how to respond to what others need of us and what responsibility we have to the world we live in. These questions point the way out of our predicament:
In this workshop we will explore this continuum of needs and seek the clarity to act authentically and compassionately. We will look at issues of self-worth, guilt, compromise and sacrifice, giving and receiving, developing our potential, personal power and responsibility, exchange and sharing using experiential exercises, writing and drawing tasks, awareness practices and group discussion. We will ask: How can I be more personally fulfilled? How can I have more satisfying relationships? What do I have to offer the world? How can we avoid conflict and unite planetary consciousness with self-awareness to create a harmony of needs.
FROM SELF-DISCOVERY TO TRANSFORMATION15–16 December 2012 A Workshop-Seminar on Human Potential
It is the potential of every person to grow into a whole human being. Self reflection is the unique and distinctive aspect of humanness which points the way to living our potential, fulfilling ourselves and being free. Through conscious self-exploration, awareness reflects back on us, like light hitting a mirror, and in dazzling clarity we see ourselves as we truly are, and the world as it truly is.

Working with Richard has literally changed my life. His supportive workshops helped me to see the restrictive patterns that I was living my life by and allowed me to move towards a life of greater self-responsibility and one in which I can respond to situations rather than simply react…In great appreciation of the quality of work that you offer…
D.E.
You have never been forgotten. I have just completed a 5-day residential seminar, which was OK, but not a patch on your groups. The profundity of experience, energy and fun of your workshops has never been surpassed. Since my experiences with you, I have largely been attracted to people and practices who work intuitively in the moment; I think it is a rare gift, even in these so-called enlightened times.
