Renovatio Institute is a mental and spiritual health resource in the western suburbs of Chicago. The Renovatio Institute offers individuals, couples, families, work systems, and faith based systems the opportunity to explore the renewal of life-enriching functioning through consultations, seminars, and workshops. Founded by William G. Ressl, M.Div., M.S.W. and Penny L. Taylor, M.Div., M.S.W., the Institute is dedicated to exploring, examining, and discerning human functioning from the lens of spirituality, theology, family systems theory, and archetypal energy understandings.

A Total Rebirth...

Renovatio is Latin and means "a total rebirth" that is a renewal of functioning in the parts of the personality that are in need of healing, strengthening, and / or improvement. Consultations at Renovatio Institute are designed to assist in the movement towards more optimal personality and relational functionality through an integrative use of modalities: Bowen Family Systems; Neo-Jungian archetypal understandings; and, a holistic approach to explore the worlds we exist within.

A Safe Space…

Renovatio Institute creates a safe environment to explore your life's journey, or the "life" journey of a work or faith based system, while learning how to look at life as a research project where exploration and experimentation are encouraged and enjoyed. By exploring the archetypal structures of the personality, family expectations, societal demands, and the dynamics of relationships, tremendous potential within can be discovered to restore a wholeness that can transform life, an individual life or the life of a couple, family, work system, or faith based system.

The Goal…

Renovatio Institute's goal is to help each individual discover how they function within the larger systems of life so that life can become to be experienced as an intellectual conscious choice rather than purely an emotional unconscious reaction.
