    Biographical Note

    Thomas R. Yeomans is the founder and director of the Concord Institute, an educational institute founded in 1990 to provide post-graduate professional training in global/spiritual psychology and group leadership, and co-founder of the International School, a post-graduate training institute in St. Petersburg, Russia.
    Yeomans studied with Roberto Assagioli, M.D. in the early 1970's, and spent the next twenty years as a psychotherapist, teacher, and trainer of professionals in Psychosynthesis throughout North America. In the early 1990's he developed a new framework, Spiritual Psychology, which drew on Assagioli's Psychosynthesis among other works to offer a new theoretical and practical forum to explore the relationship between spirituality and psychology. Since that development, Yeomans expanded his teaching, writing, and other creative outlets to reach international audiences - throughout Europe, Russia, and New Zealand.
