# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Integrating Spirituality and Religion into Counseling: Clinical Competence and Sacred Sensitivity
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 10 Sep, 2026 at 12:00 am (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: This course offers a bridge between clinical practice and spiritual diversity, expanding Pacifica’s Extension offerings by introducing a competency-based approach to the sacred that honors both psychological depth and lived expressions of spiritual-but-not-religious experience and religious faith. Rather than interpreting religion symbolically, participants will practice engaging it relationally and clinically—with cultural humility, compassion, and respect for each client’s lived experience.

While Pacifica Graduate Institute has long explored the imaginal and archetypal dimensions of the sacred, many practicing clinicians encounter clients whose experiences are rooted in specific religious worldviews and spiritual-but-not-religious orientations before ever being exposed to Jungian or transpersonal perspectives. This course addresses that gap by offering an evidence-based, and deeply compassionate model for meeting clients where they are.

This course serves as a bridge between Jungian and transpersonal, spiritual-but-not-religious worldviews, and the diverse forms of religious faith through which many clients seek meaning, healing, and transformation. Participants will learn how to engage this full spectrum of the sacred with clinical skill, ethical grounding, and cultural humility.

Grounded in the ASERVIC Spiritual Competencies and current AAMFT/CAMFT/ACA diversity standards, the course equips clinicians to integrate clients’ spiritual, spiritual-but-not-religious, and faith-based perspectives into assessment and therapeutic dialogue without imposing or deconstructing belief systems. The focus is on clinician self awareness, skill development and cultural humility, not on promoting any specific worldview.
