On April 28,  Dr. Jim  Nourse, Ph.D., a local, practicing clinical psychologist at the Center for Integrated Health and Healing in Brevard, will discuss “Transpersonal Psychology.” This is a school of psychology which advocates that the spiritual component of life is a vital part of a person's well-being. Although the transpersonal psychologist does not advocate for any particular religion or denomination, he believes that individuals are helped by learning to discover within themselves sources of wisdom, inspiration and a deeper understanding of their relationship to the whole of life.
