Watch and listen to this gorgeous dialogue between four masters of their respective fields in the process of evolving the teaching of Unique Self, Unique We, Couplehood, Imago Therapy, and Unique Self Recovery:
Harville Hendrix is a contemporary psychologist who co-founded Imago Relationship Therapy, along with his wife, Helen LaKelly Hunt.
Harville Hendrix was born in 1935 in Statesboro, Georgia. He was an ordained Baptist minister before he completed his BA at Mercer University in Georgia, in 1957, and his BD from Union Theological Seminary in 1961. He went on to receive both an MA and PhD in psychology and religion from the Divinity School at the University of Chicago.
Hendrix serves as a therapist, educator, and pastoral counselor. He has spent the last two decades practicing and teaching his own form of marriage and relationship therapy known as Imago Relationship Therapy in collaboration with his wife.
Helen LaKelly Hunt (born 1949) is a daughter of H. L. Hunt. She is founder and president of The Sister Fund, which describes itself as “a private women’s fund dedicated to the social, political, economic, and spiritual empowerment of women and girls.”
Hunt currently lives in New York with her husband, Harville Hendrix, a self-help author.
Hunt was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, which cited her as a “[c]reative philanthropist who has used her own resources and others to create women’s funding institutions.”
Lori Galperin serves as a Member of the Board of the Center for Integral Wisdom.
She is a clinician, writer and teacher who began her 27 year career working in the area of sex & marital therapy. Training at Masters & Johnson Institute, she eventually became co-director, co-founded the first inpatient sexual trauma program in the country, and ultimately established and clinically co-directed three such programs. Her work spanned diverse populations including incest families, sex offenders, victims of sexual abuse and individuals struggling with sexual addiction.
Dr. Marc Gafni is a philosopher, public intellectual and wisdom teacher. He holds his doctorate in philosophy from Oxford University, rabbinic certification from the chief rabbinate in Israel, as well private rabbinic ordination. He is also ordained and holds a doctorate in religious science. He is the initiating thought leader, together with Ken Wilber, of World Spirituality based on Integral principles, as well as the leading theorist and teacher of Unique Self Enlightenment. He is the director of Center for Integral Wisdom (formerly World Spirituality), a think tank he co-founded in 2011 with Ken Wilber, Sally Kempton (and now also joined by Lori Galperin) which is creating a body of work to evolve the source code of human existence.

Marc’ s teaching on Unique Self is radically transformative. As a long time spiritual seeker and integral practitioner, it has opened a whole new dimension of practice and learning for me. I feel empowered with a new level of commitment and inspiration to being and becoming who I am uniquely here to be and become, and – in Gafni’ s words – “to loving and healing that unique facet of the universe that only me can love and heal”. Thank you Marc for your direct transmission of this radically important teaching that feels alive and evolving in me, at the deepest of my heart of hearts.
Claire Molinard
This is a warning (albeit joyful) for anyone considering this course in the future. I confess that, as a designer and presenter of courses myself, I started with a plan to be a casual observer and with low expectations for a “by phone”, large group course. To my surprise and delight, the oh-so-rich content and artful presentation touched me and drew me in. The Wednesday calls soon became a priority. The phone technology even smoothly allowed us to work in dyads and triads with students all over the world. The weekly “extra” material on the portal was gold–it let me catch up on any missed sessions and guided my weekly practicing. A profound thanks for such excellence.
Terry Nelson
Thank you for your gift of outrageous love the past 10 weeks. Your teachings opened up my heart and empowered me to see and be my Unique gift and contribution to the world — I always thought myself as non-conformant with a twinge of guilt, but did things my way proudly anyway. It will take me many, many times to listen again and again to fully understand and apply everything you have covered. But what I absorbed, helped me understand the process of evolution and liberated me to be my Unique Self and to love outrageously. Thank you for everything.
Tess Vergara
Thank you Marc, for the passion, enthusiasm and generosity shared during your teaching. I feel seen and embraced by this community like I haven’t been for a long time. My heart is slowly melting, opening up a space for my Unique Self to shine. It is the beginning of a journey, and the most exciting one…Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Olivier Bockenmeyer
Awakening Your Unique Self has been a powerfully transformative course. Being reminded that I had forgotten feels like the first step on the road to remembering. While I still do not remember, at least now I remember that I forgot. Also there were so many powerful practices and processes that we learned that help to shed light into the darkness that surround that memory that wanting to be alive is beginning to feel like a more real possibility. Thank you Dr. Gafni and the whole wonderful Awakening Your Unique Self course community.
Judith Ain
I obey the deep yearning to express my heart-felt gratitude for the transformations in consciousness that occurred during the ten week course “Awakening to your Uniques Self” of the great master of Kabbala, Marc Gafni. A process has started in which the Uniqueness of my deepest Self revealed itself in awe and wonder, in a holding environment of an evolving community of like-minded individuals. Evolutionary growth and wisdom is what we shared, in great joy, with one another.rnI studied with many teachers before, but I never met anyone who more skillfully addressed both the psychological and spiritual nature of our being. It has been an honor and a privilege to study with Marc Gafni. In order to fully digest the richness of what has been given to us, I intend to expose myself to these teachings again! In deep gratitude I bow to our beloved teacher!
Harry de Bont
Everything about Unique Self is Unique. The teaching, the portal and the community of support and love. Often “Courses” on-line or in person fade after the conclusion, but with Awakening Your Unique Self it grows day after day. The wonder in the manner of your delivery is exquisite.
Your complete gift of story telling enriches every learning. I adore how you weave your transformative Hassidic teachings from the Baal Shem Tov into your teachings without making this a journey of religion but a journey of true spiritual enlightenment. rnrnrnI have witnessed my growth over the last ten weeks in a very profound manner.
The understanding of Unique Obligation has transformed my thinking, ethics, beliefs and behavior. It is beyond profound! The content you so generously share with the community is powerful in the reinforcement of your teachings, The videos and audios perfectly complement the journey. I feel a profound love for you Marc and a gratitude that will stay with me for the remainder of this lifetime.
Sidney Mendelson
The superb content and rendering of the weekly lectures offered by Dr. Marc Gafni also were delightfully entertaining because concepts became alive through masterful storytelling. Though at times I found myself somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer volume and intricacy of the material at the same time I was utterly intrigued. From week to week the core practices and assignments effectively guided us into the inner work needed to obtain greater effectiveness in the outer world. The proof really is in the pudding because now that the ten week course is coming to the end, I see and feel so clearly how I can more powerfully serve the world around me — family, community, and also the world at large. Thank you Marc and staff!
Bineke Oort
My life long search has finally found its full sense, sense that I now can and do fully and comfortably embrace. My “I” and “we” are together. My “I” includes “we” inside of me. I can look at the whole world, the whole world can look at me. One Kiss.
Brahmani Maestracci
The online Web-Community was one of the best parts of the course, and a great joy to see others like me, others who thought like me and who were commited to the spiritual path. I used this resource, sure, and gained great Soul strength from interacting and sharing with others, but I could’ve used it even more. For, as Marc Gafni likes to point out, self-help is about what I can get out of something, but Transformation is about what I can put in. The Unique Self course and teaching is helping me not just with the motivation to put in all I can, but has given me the clarity and precision to see just where I can.
Mike Dorman
Dr. Marc Gafni’s Unique Self teachings are the most profound, all embracing and powerfully transforming that I have encountered in a lifetime of intellectual and spiritual exploration East and West! Their evolutionary potency is awesome. I see them as being nothing less than a Divine transmission, a gift of Grace, emerging in our time to assist in the radical transformation of consciousness so urgently needed if we are to avert planetary catastrophe. As for Marc himself, his humour, his intellect, his scholarship, his spiritual authenticity and, above all, his fulsome embodiment of the love that is the driving force of evolution make him a living treasure and a delightful teacher.
Dr. Gillian Ross
Dear Dr. Marc Gafni, Your teachings are to me the shifting point I was looking for for a long time. The Unique Self Teachings really are not only the integration of old spiritual wisdom and modern psychology, but also the “missing link” to the possibility of mass-enlightenment – the much needed democratization of enlightenment. Your fierce love for teaching and your deep joy and enthusiasm to share your insights shine through every word of the live transmissions. I felt deeply graced by your tenderness and your clear perception of everyone in this course and on the portal.
The richness of the material provided in this course seems to be neverending – whenever I listen to one of the livecalls again, or read one of the texts again, I discover new and even deeper insights. I can’t really express in words how touched and thankful I am – you brought to my life no less than the re-connection with the Source and with my innermost, real Self. You showed me the way to let my love flow unconditionally, which means the chance to really live my life in its full meaning and potential.
And you brought together all these wonderful, lovely, warmhearted, amazing people on the portal! An international Sangha! Wow, thank you! And warm thanks to everyone of the team, it was (and is) perfect!

Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory integrated with the Unique Self dharma as articulated by Dr. Marc Gafni is the basis for the Unique Self Emergence Process. Its articulation of the human journey through the necessary individuation we call the separate self to the realization that we are part of the “seamless coat of the universe” to the recognition that we are each a unique expression of the Ultimate Reality provides an elegant and practical framework for growth.
The Unique Self is not a concept but a quality of presence that is embodied as we awaken to our interconnectedness and grow beyond our sense of separation. We believe it is the purpose for existence because it is from here that we can most fully offer our gifts to the world.
Researchers have given us irrefutable evidence that humans continue to grow throughout our lifetime. Spiritual teachers ancient and modern echo that truth. As our world becomes increasingly complex, it is imperative that we grow into deeper and wider stages of development in order to navigate and assist our world’s evolution.
Our desire to assist in the transformation of the world has resulted in the Unique Self Emergence Process as a powerful change technology that taps into Creative Source to engage your unique potential and facilitate its emergence as your Unique Self. Because the process facilitates getting to the heart of whom you are and how the creative impulse of Ultimate Reality wants to express through you, it has many applications. Whether you are seeking spiritual connection and development, wanting to understand why your life is no longer fulfilling or exploring your life’s purpose, this process will help.
Barbara and Claire are long time spiritual practitioners who believe spiritual development is the cornerstone of human transformation. Individually we were coaching clients using the Integral Coaching approach, with an emphasis on spiritual development using the Unique Self Teachings. These teachings, offered by Marc Gafni and which Ken Wilber has called “a new key chapter in Integral Theory,” are deeply rooted in the wisdom of the world’s spiritual traditions and informed by modern psychology.
When we met we embarked on a journey of developing and synthesizing our work and the Unique Self Emergence Process was born. We knew we would offer it to other professionals, who like us, believe true transformation integrates both psychology and spirituality.
The Unique Self Emergence Facilitator Training is a nine month certificate program. It is designed to support change agents who wish to deepen their experience of their own Unique Self while learning a practical and elegant process rooted in the Unique Self Teachings. Upon completion of this program, participants are certified to facilitate the Unique Self Emergence Process with individuals and groups and join a collective of amazing people from diverse background – coaches, consultants, spiritual directors, therapists and body workers whose vision is to facilitate the emergence of Unique Self in men and women of all ages so they may live happier, more successful and purposeful lives in service to the world.
