From Psychology to Spiritual Awakening: My Journey with the Course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n \n

\n \u201cTeach only love, for that is what you are.\u201d\n <\/p>\n\n

\n I am Henri Theron, and my journey with the human psyche began in 1976 when I qualified as a counselling psychologist. \nFor decades, I have dedicated myself to the well-being of students and adults at institutions such as the University of Stellenbosch \nand the University of the Free State.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Yet, despite my clinical background and academic successes, I myself searched for a deeper answer to life's questions.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n In 1998, that answer came in the form of A Course in Miracles. \nThis encounter not only transformed my own life, but also changed my entire outlook on healing.\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

The Translator's Heart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a native speaker of Afrikaans, I felt a calling to make the profound wisdom of the Course accessible to my own people. It was a arduous but blessed seven-year journey\u2014in close collaboration with Dr. Kenneth Wapnick and the Foundation for Inner Peace<\/em>\u2014to translate the 1,300 pages of the Course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this process I had to forge new Afrikaans concepts, such as geestesdenke<\/strong> (for mind<\/em>), to retain the purely metaphysical meaning of the text. Today the Afrikaans translation is a reality, and it remains my greatest honor to hear the \u201cVoice\u201d of the Course speak in my own language with the same dignity and authority as the original text.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n Experience and Mentorship\n <\/h3>\n\n

\n Today I combine my clinical foundation with the spiritual psychotherapy of the Course. \nWith over 25 years of experience in facilitating study groups and individual counseling, \nI provide a safe and ethical space for:\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Spiritual Guidance\n <\/p>\n

\n For those dealing with the transitions of life and old age, I offer support \nin letting go of resistances in their ego minds.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Individual Mentoring\n <\/p>\n

\n I help you untangle the \u201cknots\u201d in your life\u2014whether they are personal crises, \nrelationship challenges, or questions about your identity.\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n

\n \n

\n My Approach\n <\/h3>\n\n

\n I no longer believe in \u201canalyzing darkness.\u201d Instead, I help you \nremove the obstacles that prevent you from experiencing the light of your own Inner Teacher.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n I have exchanged my old roles as a psychologist for that of a \u201chappy learner\u201d who walks with you on the bridge to peace.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n

\n Peace is a bridge that everyone must cross, but no one crosses it alone.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n If you are ready to change your perception and experience the miracle of inner healing, \nI invite you to connect with me.\n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

\n Education and Guidance\n <\/h2>\n\n

\n I am happy to help teach and support students studying the Course, whether in terms of understanding or therapeutically. \nMany students find the theory of the Course beautiful, but struggle when life \u201chappens\u201d.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n

\n This support and instruction can take place in groups. Students then have the opportunity to discuss, reflect on, and sort out problems with the content of the Course.\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n Individuele Sessies\n <\/h3>\n\n

\n Teaching and counseling are also provided on an individual level. I enjoy doing one-on-one sessions (either online or in person). \nIt is an opportunity to reinterpret human problems \u2014 such as relationships, conflict, loss, illness, or work pressure \u2014 through the lens of the Course.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n In individual sessions, you have the opportunity to work through the obstacles to inner peace more quickly \u2014 more easily than on your own. \nThis allows you to gain a clearer, deeper understanding of spiritual Truth and Self-Realization, and work through obstacles in a safe atmosphere.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n No problem is too small or too big for the miracle of a perception shift. \nIt is about healing the mental thought, which then transforms the external experience.\n\n <\/p>Fee: R500 per hour. Negotiable.\n \n
