Wisdom Keepers: Dimensions of Kenneth Sørenson
Sara Vatore
In this episode of the Wisdom Keepers series, I am joined by Kenneth Sørenson to navigate the intricate maps of the human psyche through the lens of Psychosynthesis. We dive in to explore how this living psychology can guide us as a steady compass along our spiritual path.
Kenneth shares how we can bridge the gap between our personal and transpersonal will, moving beyond our past conditioning to move through life with greater alignment and choice. It’s a conversation about the art of self-mastery and the quiet courage it takes to expand, just a little, every single day.
Kenneth Sørensen is a psychotherapist, author, and teacher specializing in psychosynthesis and transpersonal psychology. He holds a Master’s degree in Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy from the University of East London and has many years of experience working with personal and spiritual development in both clinical and educational settings.
He is the founder of kennethsorensen.dk, an extensive online library dedicated to psychosynthesis, where he publishes and curates original writings by Roberto Assagioli alongside his own articles and contemporary contributions to the field. His work is characterized by a strong emphasis on scholarly rigor, source-based research, and the integration of psychological and spiritual perspectives.
Kenneth is actively involved in the international psychosynthesis community, serving on the steering committees of both the Association for the Advancement of Psychosynthesis and the Synthesis Community. He is also engaged in an ongoing biographical research project on Assagioli, drawing on archival material to present a historically grounded and nuanced account of the founder’s life and work.
Through his writing, teaching, and public speaking, Kenneth seeks to advance psychosynthesis as a living, evolving psychology relevant to both individual transformation and wider cultural development.
Inside this episode, we explore:
Psychosynthesis as a living, evolving psychology for both personal transformation and collective growth
Kenneth’s path into this work and what drew him to the depth and structure of psychosynthesis
A multidimensional understanding of the human psyche and how it supports inner development
Distinguishing between the "Personal Will" and the "Transpersonal Will" and how each shapes our choices and direction
Navigating the fear and conditioning that arise when we begin to step into more of who we truly are
Self-mastery as an ongoing, lived process rather than a fixed destination
The experience of the “I” as a center of awareness and will, distinct from thoughts, emotions, and roles
The importance of having a clear inner map to support both psychological and spiritual growth
What it means to grow in small, meaningful ways and the courage it takes to follow what feels true.
I hope you enjoyed this installment of the Wisdom Keepers series.
