About the Course
What are contemplative creative therapy (CCT) and its methodologies for training the embodied mind for mental health and wellness?
This 4-module online course is a brief overview of the Buddhist-Based origins and foundation of contemplative creative science applied in psychotherapy and clinical settings. This course is mainly theoretical, with some contemplative practices.
The first two modules overview the origins and foundations of Dharma, Dharma Arts and Buddhist psychology in India and their spread to Northern and Southeast Asia. Then, the third module looks briefly at the impact of invasions, commercial trades, and colonization on Buddhist modernism, Buddhist psychology, and Dharma arts practices integrated into North American culture. In the last module, participants are introduced to the Contemplative Creative Science theory, framework, contemplative creative psychotherapy approaches and methods as an intervention in mental health.
*It is recommended to have taken the introductory course to understand contemplative science and arts and how it has been assimilated and secularized into western culture, western psychology, and psychotherapy—and required to continue into CCS incoming training courses and programs.
