Two weeks ago HarperOne released my award-winning new book Soul Therapy in paperback.This book is the culmination of my years of assisting people in the care of their souls. Our society needs to deal with the strong feelings that often divide us and find its way back to emotional maturity and community. The book is for professional therapists and ordinary people interested in these themes.

THE BOOK
Sharing dramatic episodes from his own life and psychotherapy practice, Thomas will show us how the soul tries to communicate with us through shadow, illness and the poignant moments of rites-of-passage as we age.
Ageless Soul will teach you how to embrace the richness of experience and how to take life on, accept invitations to new vitality, and feel fulfilled as you continue on the path of growing up.





PRAISE FOR THE BOOK
"Ageless Soul comes at a time when the world dearly needs a soul lift...Moore's most crucial work to date and a must-read for contemplatives of all ages." 
        - Southwest Journal
"Destined to become a classic, Ageless Soul brilliantly illuminates one of life's most enduring mysteries: 'Why-and how-do we grow old?'
- Pythia Peay, author of American Icarus 

""Thomas Moore convinces us that we age best when we embrace our age, live agelessly, and remember every day to find the endless joy nestled inside our soul."
- Rudolph E. Tanzi, M.D, Professor of Neurology, Harvard Medical School



PRAISE FOR Care of the Soul
""When [Moore] is read closely, his depth is apparent...he stands to make some new converts to the non-institutional ranks of spirituality."
- Publishers Weekly

""The sincerity, intelligence and style -- so beautifully clean -- of Tom Moore's Care of the Soul truly moved me. The book's got strength and class and soul, and I suspect may last longer than psychology itself."

Creatively Navigate Life's Passages, Enjoy Being You


Kripalu Center, Lenox, MA

November 16-18, 2018 
Ageless Soul

Life is a series of passages, each one an opportunity to live fully and enjoy being yourself. 
In a program designed for everyone at any stage of life, join Thomas Moore to
  • Reimagine aging in a fresh and positive light
  • Discover new ways of being spiritual
  • Creatively deal with sickness, and emotions such as fear, anger, loneliness, and loss
  • See the role of humor and storytelling throughout life's phases.
The weekend includes discussion, dream work, break-out groups, and "soul-meditations." As a former monk who holds a PhD in religious studies, Thomas offers a deeply spiritual outlook. He draws on 40 years as a psychotherapist to address intimate and difficult aspects of growing older, looking at the mythic and universally human experience of aging. 

Ottawa, Ontario

Thomas will be offering two workshops for MAGentics at St. Paul University, Ottawa. 

October 26, 2018-9 am - 4 pm
Workshop for Caretakers on Bringing the Depth of Soul to their Work

Soul means depth, connection, heart, imagination, empathy, and an appreciation for flawed humanity. Soul is the foundation and essence of a person, and so a helper needs depth of vision to help at a level that counts. Such an approach is not only effective for those who are helped but offers deeper satisfaction to the professional. 



October 27, 2018 - 10 am - 3:30 pm
A Soulful Life in a Soulful World 

According to traditional teachings, soul makes us deeply human and unique persons. It allows us to be intimate with the people around us and with everything we do. It is found at home, in family, among friends and in nature. It needs attachment, rather than detachment, and yet it fosters a deep and very human kind of spirituality.


October 6, 7 & 8 10 am to 5 pm

If you can get to New Hampshire to see the leaves this Fall, my wife Hari Kirin/ Joan Hanley will be part of the Monadnock Art Tour. Her paintings are filled with the spirit of our mountain, Monadnock, and tour pond.  There is transformation and magic in every brush stroke. She has taken a turn in her work, and these are fresh and exciting paintings. Join her in our neighbor's barn where her work will be available to view or purchase # 24 on the tour. If you're not local you can see the paintings on Instagram @ harikirin.

Re-Imagining Psychotherapy for our time



The word "psychotherapy" is made up of two powerful Greek terms: psyche (soul) and therapeia (serve or care for). A perfect English translation is "care of the soul."  Soul is our mysterious depth, our sense of self shrouded in cultural and personal history, profound and sometimes foggy emotions, unexpected desires and fears, our deep narrative that lies beyond the conscious story we tell. Therapy serves and cares for this soul that defines who we are and connects us with people and the world. 


I draw on the world's spiritual traditions to care for the soul and re-define psychotherapy connected to practical philosophy, sacred ritual, and the arts.  This is an important time for us to mature and deepen in our understanding of psyche.



Training in Thomas Moore's Soul-Based Approach
Psychotherapy as Care of the Soul


March 2-4, 2018
Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, Lenox, MA


For psychotherapists, analysts, counselors, coaches, clergy, and others looking to deepen their work.

In soul-based therapy, we recognize the autonomy of the soul in a person's life and the way the soul works in contrast to conscious, intended behavior. The soul is central to our humanity, intimate connections, spiritual vision, and pleasure-all of which give meaning and purpose to life. When the life of the deep soul is blocked, we suffer.

Soul-based therapy requires an ability to see what is going on beneath the surface. Since the language of the soul is poetic, we must learn to attune to artistic, literary, mythic, and dream imagery. Alchemy, shamanism, and other esoteric systems also provide rich guidance for soul processes.
Specially designed for mental-health professionals, this program with Thomas Moore explores the journey of becoming a soul-sensitive human being, able to guide others in accessing the soul's wisdom. Experience an intense immersion in therapy that zeroes in on the deep narratives and themes playing out in a person's life.
At Kripalu, we will enjoy good food, community, the nearness of nature and support to go deep. 

This program is mainly for practicing counselors, therapists, and other healers, but students of the therapeutic arts and yoga teachers may also be interested.

Ageless Soul: Living a Long, Joyful, and Fulfilling Life
November 17-19, 2017 
Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health, Lenox, MA

Aging is not growing old but becoming a person of character. In this sense, we age throughout life, so this program is for everyone. It offers fresh ideas on aging, exercises for self-discovery, and the opportunity to share deeply with others as we all face the challenge of time. Kripalu is beautiful in the Autumn. We will enjoy good food, the nearness of nature and support to go deep.
"Ageless Soul" and "Care of the Soul in Relationships and Work" with Thomas Moore
11/3 at 7:00pm - to 11/4 at 3:30pm at the Center for Spiritual Living in Seattle

Ageless Soul offers positive and inspiring guidance for becoming a full person as time goes by. Since we are all aging, it is for anyone who has ever thought about getting older. 
Relationships require both engagement and freedom, intimacy and distance. The soul of a relationship lies deep, and oddly, may come to the foreground when there is trouble or crisis. Caring for the soul is different from adjusting well and keeping things smooth and unruffled. The other person's soul is a deep mystery, and so is yours. You have to respect this mystery as you make efforts over time to be close.

Let's meet at Kripalu or online in June


Developing Your Highest Self
Making the Spiritual Life Real and Personal
June 23-25, 2017

Kripalu is beautiful at the beginning of summer,. We will enjoy good food, the 
nearness of nature and support to go deep. Learn to use the arts, nature, service, a contemplative lifestyle, intuition, divination, creativity, dreams, and synchronicities to reach as high as possible in your life. The world may tempt you to be materialistic or limited in your aspirations, but here you discover that you are part angel, 
and that the divine spark burns inside you.


Soulful Aging E Course
June 5 -30, 2017

We are growing older all the time. But growing older is not the same as aging. Soulful aging requires saying yes to the opportunities and difficult issues that life presents.
This e-course focuses not on the externals of aging - but on the inner ones - spirituality, eroticism, meaningful work and retirement,and especially the emotional and character developments that make you a real individual.

You will receive 12 emails (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) exploring aging not as losing capacity but as becoming who you are destined to be.
