Holoscendence Method: Introduction

Spirituality

Sergey Kupriyanov, MD, PhD in Medicine

(Helsinki, Finland)

Holoscendence is an approach that evokes

the essential (unique) self in both the client and

the facilitator. It allows all participants of the

process to express their individuality in the eye

of Godor True Self.

What is Holoscendence?

Holoscendence is an integral meta-paradigmatic approach to therapy, spiritual practice and

interpersonal communication that is based on Dr. Sergey Kupriyanovs 30-years clinical and life

experience. It goes beyond a set of discrete exercises and offers a seamless integration of the essence

of more than a dozen of different approaches (from gestalt therapy to process oriented psychology

to bioenergetic paradigm to tantric meditations to work with altered states of consciousness in

hypnosis and interpersonal communication and so on). It allows integrating prepersonal, personal

and transpersonal states and structures of consciousness in ones everyday living in order to open

realms of multidimensional relationships with others and Life as such.

Methods

The meta-paradigmatic approach of Holoscendence utilizes a wide array of paradigms, methods, and

techniques addressing the entire spectrum of consciousness and being in all quadrants:

Primary method: Holoscendence Method grounded in Integral Psychology Framework

Additional (reinterpreted, updated, enhanced) methods: Transpersonal Gestalt-Therapy and Shadow Work,

Arnold and Amy Mindells Process-Oriented Psychology, A. H. Almaas Diamond Approach,

Narrative Therapy, Ericksonian Therapy, Concentrative (Attention-Based) and Deconcentrative

(Awareness-Based) Meditation, Tantric and Taoistic Subtle Energy Work, Carlos Castanedas Work

with First and Second Attention (concentrated focused awareness and empty primordial awareness),

Family Therapy (including Psychodrama and Family Constellations), Existential Therapy and

multiple other methods across the entire spectrum of consciousness (both states and structures).

Target audience

People from all tiers and walks of life who are interested in improving the quality of their life and

resolving some pressing life issues as well as those who are interested in obtaining means for

maintaining stable nondual awareness while being in the midst of everyday life, work, family

activities. Perhaps, it could be especially interesting to students of Integral Theory, for it is a

pragmatic application of Integral Framework to everyday life, work, and play.
