BACKGROUND and EXPERIENCE
Michael has been devoted to a full-time private practice, providing intensive individual and group psychotherapy for the past 20 years. He has completed four years of training at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, with an emphasis on both working with individuals and working with body process. He has been in ongoing training and supervision for many years, which has allowed him to incorporate approaches from Gestalt, Radix, Object-Relations, BioEnergetics, Developmental Character Styles, body-oriented psychotherapy, Jungian archetypes and the mythological teachings of Joseph Campbell. He has spent four years in training and twelve years teaching at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing in Miami Beach, FL. He is currently the Dean of the school’s Advanced Studies in Brennan Integration Work, an in-depth training curriculum that he created and designed for body-mind healing and personal development. He brings particular attention to the human energy system and its interplay with mind and body organization. Michael has an enduring passion for the co-creation and enlivening of developmental processes, and its potential to engender or restore vitality and well-being in individuals, groups and organizations.
His founding work is with his Hero’s Journey Foundation, cultivated over the past 16 years. It is a unique and specialized blend of personal and spiritual transformation work, making use of inspiring and challenging wilderness environments to deepen self awareness and embrace unifying life experiences. People come from various traditions, cultures and countries to experience this deep level of personal and communal support. This work greatly assists those who seek successful rites of passage through significant life transitions, as well as those who seek to overcome personal obstacles and self-imposed limitations that hinder personal development and unity of mind-body-spirit. He also provides consultation to offer these unique development opportunities to corporate organizations and private groups.
Michael’s latest work is a three year, 45 day facilitation training he has co-created called PsychoNoetics. Deep learning can occur by accessing various levels of psychic consciousness from one’s own embodied and “lived through” experiences. The training is based along Costa Brava outside of Barcelona, Spain, to professionals who are eager to work with enlivening the mind and body in various methods of healing modalities. He is offering a unique blending of clinical psychotherapy techniques and theory, character formation, the Hindu chakra system, bioenergetic exercises, archetypal psychology, meditation and creative visualization, yoga, chanting, presencing and group work to create dynamic and enthusiastic learning environment for his participants. This training is limited to 50 professionals for each training.
