Christina Grof at Science and Consciousness Conference
"Almost forty years ago, the noted Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung wrote
that an alcoholic's craving for alcohol was the equivalent on a low level
of the spiritual thirst of our being for wholeness ...(or) union with God.
Unfortunately, all too often, this craving can become distorted into addictions
of all kinds." - Christina Grof

Christina will present Thirst for Wholeness: Addiction, Recovery and Spirituality
at the Seventh International Conference on Science and Consciousness, April
22-27, 2005, Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.
During her workshop, she will explore this "craving" as a universal
thirst for our own wholeness - our spiritual nature. She will discuss addiction
as an exaggerated form of attachment. The role of abuse in the development
of addiction and other problems will also be explored, along with the role
of surrender, addictions of our global community, and the promise of healing
and spiritual maturity. She will also show slides of drawings from alcoholism
and sexual abuse recovery.
Identify the role of healthy spirituality as essential in healing addictions.
Discover how the healing of trauma occurs through gradual diminishing of
the false self and the rediscovery of one's natural state of wholeness.
Christina is an author, artist, psychotherapist, founder of the Spiritual
Emergence Network, and co-creator of Holotropic Breathwork. For almost thirty
