SHORT COURSE - UNLEARNING:
Be Transformed by the Renewing of your mind
(Romans 12:2)
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course is based on the process of Unlearning, which proposes that new ways of learning can only be acquired when individuals unlearn thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that prevent them from attaining holistic well-being. Unlearning seeks to equip individuals with personal transformation skills.
Through integrating psychological theory, theological principles, and experiential knowledge, students are encouraged to reflect on those parts of self, relationships, communities, and institutions that need transformation from the inside out. The skills taught in the course will allow students to apply their knowledge practically so that theory becomes praxis (a way of being in the world). When the individual is transformed, the world is transformed. The course content applies to any human context.

About The Course Presenter: Taryn Little
After years of searching for my purpose and finding myself in spaces that were not ordained for me, I vowed to never again work in an area that does not reflect my true passion and calling. My own story of pain and brokenness has driven my desire to become a product of my purpose and not my pain . To see opportunity, not obstacles in times of crisis. My life and life’s work is an unrelenting mission to help my fellow human beings make sense of their own pain so that they may thrive and not merely survive. There is a difference.
I believe that academic qualifications and hard skills are not sufficient, and that individuals and organizations need to engage in personal transformation in order to reach their fullest potential in the areas of positive emotions, positive relationships, positive accomplishments, positive meaning and positive engagement.
Transformation needs to focus on unlearning thoughts, emotions and behaviours that hurt self and others. When the individual is transformed so too is the world transformed, and in my personal experience transformation needs to occur from the inside out if one is to see effective long
lasting results.
My Bachelor of Theology: in Community Leadership: Psychology and Bachelor of Arts (Honor’s): Psychology degrees speaks to my passion to integrate my love for Psychology and Theology. I have my heart set on a Masters in Practical Theology: Clinical Pastorate. I believe in not living the same day twice and have been blessed to spend my days either lecturing, supervising fieldwork psychology students, presenting personal development workshops, writing, mental health Christian counselling and inspirational speaking. 1 Peter 4:10 reminds us to use whatever gifts we have received to serve others, and not to hide our talents as Matthew 5:16 instructs but to use them so that others may see our good work and glorify our heavenly Father. It is for this reason that I have included my performing ARTS gift as a teaching tool into my work. My desire is to see individuals access and live out all of the gifts and talents. I have a dream. A dream to be used as a vessel of transformation in the world.
