Peter Widmar's brief story and background in his own words:

​

I first met Susanne Cook-Greuter in 2008 and was immediately inspired by her integration of spirituality and by the linguistic depth of her framework, which resonated with my background in philosophy of language and constructivism. I completed the SCTi-MAP scorer training in May 2010 and have been working with the instrument ever since.

​

I am the director of Zen integral and Achtsame Selbstentwicklung, and have been a Zen teacher since 2004 in the Zen Peacemaker and Glassman–Lassalle lineages, with a practice dating back to 1982.

 

Professionally, I have worked as a research associate and lecturer at universities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and for many years as a teacher and seminar leader at the Lassalle-Haus.

 

Since 1996 I have trained in various forms of parts work, from which I developed the Innere Friedenskonferenz. My work also includes dreamwork and lucid dreaming, supported by ongoing training in developmental psychology. I am a certified SCTi-MAP scorer and coach and a partner of Cook-Greuter & Partner.

​

My book Achtsame Selbstentwicklung integrates neuroscience with developmental psychology and mindfulness-based parts work.
