Background

About Bethany Butzer

I write, teach, and conduct research in the fields of positive psychology and transpersonal psychology, which emphasize the development of human strength and potential. I received my PhD in psychology from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. I also have a Postgraduate Certificate in Consciousness, Spirituality & Transpersonal Psychology from the Alef Trust. I’ve worked in the corporate world and in academia, and I've also spent several years as an entrepreneur. From 2013 to 2015 I was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard Medical School, where I studied the effects of yoga in school settings. From 2016-2022 I was a Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of New York in Prague. I currently live in Prague, where I work 100% online as a Lecturer for the Alef Trust MSc program in Consciousness, Spirituality & Transpersonal Psychology. I am also the Assistant Director for the Alef Trust PhD program in Applied Transpersonal Psychology. My research focuses on yoga and mindfulness for youth, as well as transpersonal topics such as synchronicity, parapsychology, and ecopsychology. I teach undergraduate and Masters-level courses on topics such as research methods, positive psychology, consciousness, and career development.
