About Joan Mitchell
For
over thirty years, Joan Mitchell has been a gestalt
therapist and personal development teacher who has facilitated the personal
and spiritual growth of many individuals through the experience of having
greater consciousness. She combines meditation with evolutionary consciousness
as put forth by Ken Wilber, one of the most widely read and influential
philosophers of our time. Her own inimitable style of working with people
is framed within a thorough working knowledge of the Enneagram, an ancient
Sufi mystical tradition developed into a modern personality and spiritual
paradigm. Joan is provocative, dynamic, supportive and utterly realistic;
a person whose life and teachings are inseparable.
Joan has had many incarnations, even in this lifetime. She has worked with large corporations including the Toronto Harbour Commission in accounting and international freight traffic management. She left the corporate world in her thirties to study psychology at York University and gestalt therapy at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. With an amazing twist of fate she then began a successful career as a psychic consultant, creating her own corporation, P.E.A.K. Personal Power Programs Inc. After a brief legal battle with Anthony Robbins, the popular author and motivational speaker, she sold him her Canadian trademark rights to the ‘Personal Power’ name.

After the loss of her eldest son and a major physical setback, Joan retreated from public life to heal. Now she once again feels compelled to be active in furthering the evolutionary process of human consciousness and is currently creating an intensive three month program designed to bring together the many facets of the evolutionary process of consciousness, including the relevance of the Enneagram.
Joan’s method of teaching is to encourage the individual, through meditation, reading, dialogue and interaction, to develop their consciousness in a fertile environment.
