Personal Mentorships
Whether you are interested in consciousness for personal,
spiritual, social, or academic reasons, a
Personal Mentorship
can guide you in exploring consciousness for mental,
emotional, and spiritual development—and can even
provide you with a strong foundation for taking an advanced
degree later on if that is what you choose to do.
As well as teaching at various universities, Dr. de Quincey
guides independent scholars who have the commitment to work
with him through a tailored program in consciousness
studies. Depending on students’ goals and interests,
these courses can be open, informal, and flexible—or
more structured, modeled on one (or a combination) of the
masters-level courses he teaches at universities.
Typically, students are assigned texts, CDs, or DVDs to
study on a monthly basis. Students have the option of
writing a monthly paper/report on what they have read,
listened to, or viewed. These are emailed to the mentor,
who responds usually with detailed feedback and suggestions
for further study and/or contemplation. Mentorship can also
include teleconferencing. Students are encouraged to keep a
daily or weekly reflective journal to record insights,
dreams, and other creative expressions from their deep
psyche. These journals are private.
