Clinical & Ancient Psych Program
Donation protected
The Clinical and Ancient Psychology Program in India was created for people who have a passion for global mental health and who are keen to explore how ancient Eastern methods like yoga and meditation can work harmoniously with modern medicine to promote positive mental well-being.
The program, comprised of two parts over two weeks, combines five days of unparalleled insight into global mental health treatment with a further six days exploring the coast of southern India to provide greater context and understanding to your learning.
I will spend the first half of my first week at the remarkably tranquil School of Ancient Wisdom, immersing myself in interactive, practical workshops on topics like Ancient Yoga for Mental Health, Mindfulness, Laughing Yoga and Self-Actualisation Chakra Meditation. All these sessions are run by local professionals, including clinical psychologists who double as yogis, and allow us to explore these traditional methods more deeply to gain an insight into how they can be a powerful tool to promote positive mental health. The latter part of my first week takes place at the state-of-the-art NIMHANS facilities, including the Neuropathology Brain Museum, as well as over thirty separate departments and more than fifteen research centres. Here I will have an audience with some of the most prominent clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and neuroscientists working in the mental health field in India and beyond.
The second week, spent travelling southern India by land and sea, allows me to spend a week learning about Indian culture and how it influences and dictates much of the way society functions; this is given further context by spending more time exploring this sublimly complex country.
During my 3 years at Sheffield Hallam University, i've had responsibilities which meant I had to work as opposed to enhancing my work experience. So this opportunity is perfect for me to get some hands on experience! Something that a possible employer will look for on my CV.
I completely understand that people may be reluctant to give money to a cause that doesn't involve a charity, however anything that anyone can spare would be extremely appreciated.
Thank you!
