CCRI Seminar: Deep Equality - Spiritual, Therapeutic and Political uses of the Equalising Rhythm Paradigm This presentation puts forward a new equalising, rhythmic model of spiritual, psychological, and progressive political change. Jocelyn has been working with this model for over 40 years as a psychotherapist, artist, activist, and writer. It is a way of describing a feminist and socialist spirituality based on the equalising and balancing forces of nature. These include those within and between us as humans, not separate from nature. We will look at how the spiritual aspects of humanity have largely been pathologized, dismissed or ignored by the therapy and psychiatric worlds. This is partly a result of colonial, patriarchal and enlightenment thinking which often ‘others’ spirituality as ‘belonging’ to inferior groups. Such thinking is typical of the hierarchical structures that still underpin society as well as academia. The equalising, rhythmic model is the opposite, describing endless, everchanging processes rather than rigid divisions into superior and inferior. Ways of using this model in therapy practice will be explored. Speaker Bio: Jocelyn Chaplin is a Psychotherapist/Counsellor in Private Practise with a special interest in the intersections between spirituality, progressive politics and psychology. In 1989 she co-founded The Serpent Institute for training Counsellors and Psychotherapists in Humanistic and Psychodynamic approaches within a framework of Feminist Spirituality. Her many publications include ‘The Mass Psychology of Thatcherism’, Socialist Society (1983), ‘Feminist Counselling in Action’, Sage (1988), and ‘Deep Equality’, O-Books (2008). Jocelyn has recently been working with a particular ‘new’ goddess called Equalia who she ‘co-created’ in 2014 to personify the abstract idea of equalising rhythms. Jocelyn has led many workshops and courses on themes such as ‘The Way of Equalia’ and ‘Feminism and Psychotherapy’.
