According to O’Sullivan, transformative learning fosters enhanced awareness and consciousness in people, communities and frames of reference.

Application
The Master of Arts in Transpersonal Psychology (MATP) degree program offers an opportunity for students to study the theories and practices of transpersonal psychology and prepare to apply this knowledge to a range of professional and community settings. This includes facilitating career advancements in arts and humanities, as well as applied fields such as coaching, consulting, counseling, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
Unique Curriculum Design
MATP is the oldest degree program of Sofia (formerly, ITP). This WASC accredited program includes 48 mindfully crafted credit hours by scholar-transpersonalists. Topic areas range from embodied spirituality to transpersonal applications. The MATPO consists of 10 of the original MATP courses, 7 themed seminars with seminal and guest speakers, plus 4 more custom designed credit hours, tailored to China’s current psycho-socio-cultural climate. These custom courses are collaborations with Chinese scholars. They provide not just a foundation to better understand and appreciate how transpersonal psychology has evolved, but also to provide students a window into applying their learning to psychological consultation practices.
The Practicum Year
We invite you to contemplate innovations related to social justice, peace, and joy. Join us in the cultivation of professional leadership skills, transcendent self-awareness, and expanded consciousness. Unlike traditional graduate work, Sofia’s mission has always been focused on transformational growth. This is achieved through reflective work. Students will be tasked to examine the meaning, the emotions, and the evolution of their choices along their lives’ journey. This exploration takes courage and creativity. Through a deeper understanding of the self, a rich cultivation of personal consciousness, and nurturance of professional reflective assignments, students transform.
