About Serge

Serge Beddington Behrens, MA. (Oxon), Ph.D.,

Serge has been on a Spiritual Journey since his early twenties, and has studied many different Psychological and Spiritual systems. Originally educated at  Harrow and Oxford,  after working as a Book publisher and running an Art Gallery, he trained in the early 70’s as a practitioner in  Psychosynthesis. 

He is also a Past Life therapist and specialises in working with Couples. He has been interested all his life in the relationship between sports and consciousness and spent a lot of  his youth ski racing.  

Today, he is a fanatical tennis player! He has had considerable experience in setting up new organisations and in the 70’s, he co-founded the Institute for the study of Conscious Evolution in San Francisco.

He has lectured, taught seminars, workshops and retreats all over the world for over  thirty years, and his work also owes much to his experiences with Shamans and Tibetan Buddhist teachers,  as well as having ‘sat sat the feet of’ many different Spiritual Masters, both from the East and the West.

He has blended all his experiences into a way of working with individuals, couples and groups that is essentially ‘Heart Centred’, as he believes that many of our problems derive from people living too much in their heads and having an under-active heart life. He is currently completing a long book on how to heal and awaken our hearts, showing what a difference it would make to the world if more people were to bring more heart into more of what they do, and illustrating how they might accomplish this.

All the different courses and training programmes he offers are inter-related and complimentary. Many of his Psychotherapy clients find his CDs and articles  to be of help, and in a similar way, many people who do his  Spiritual Courses or Retreats, find they then come to work with him in Psychotherapy. He is happy working with people of all ages, races, cultures and religious denominations.

  • While Majorca has currently become his main base where he does most of his work, Serge also spends time back home in England and  in New Zealand, where his young daughter now lives.

CONSULTING WITH ORGANISATIONS
!

Here, my concerns are not so much with the ‘business objectives’ of organisations,  but rather  with their human face and the many different kinds of challenges posed by people working together and which, if unresolved,   may block or distort those objectives.

 Among the many inter-personal difficulties that I am called to look at, include those resulting from people:

  • having insufficient awareness of the effect they have on others (e.g., someone not knowing they are 'dumping' or being bullying).
  • being bad communicators
  • having difficulties working together with others as a team
  • living too much in their heads and not enough in their heart. (Hence relationship with others may be cold and decisions overly narrow and devoid of sufficient intuition)
  • being stressed because work brings up deep-rooted childhood fears
  • being stressed as a result of imbalanced lifestyles. (e.g., bad diet, no exercise, excess alcohol)
  • projecting their shadow (e.g. critical parent) onto their employees)

Here, my work consists of meeting with the team as a whole, asking them to fill in a questionnaire, meeting with each individual (once, or a few times as the case may be), and then designing a weekend or two-weekend seminar for everyone,  based on the nature of the organisation’s overall challenges, and designed specifically to bring greater harmony and resolution into  the group.
