    July 12 to December 13, 2023 Rob Parker studied philosophy with Gene Gendlin for several hours a week from 2003 until Gene's passing in 2017. Rob has been leading A Process Model (APM) reading groups for many years and we are delighted that Rob has now teamed up with the Institute to offer them.

    We will read and discuss A Process Model chapters I through IV. This covers roughly a quarter of the book and most of the “basic” concepts from which the rest of A Process Model is derived. We will learn many new concepts such as body-environment interaction, en#1, #2, #3, and #0, implying and occurring, recognizing, carrying forward, feedback, eveving, sbs, metaphor, crossing, and a new concept of time. These concepts will give us a deeper understanding of Gendlin's philosophy, and the beginning of an understanding of Focusing (although we'll have to wait for Chapter VIII to understand Focusing in depth).

    More importantly, Chapters I – IV will bring us to the threshold of a new world, a new and gradually deepening understanding, not just of Focusing, but of life and of ourselves. If we stay on this path, we will gradually gain the ability to think in new ways as we gradually free ourselves from a plethora of assumptions inherent in our culture. We'll discover that Process Model concepts are not like the concepts we’re used to; they are like handles in Focusing, each concept pointing to a new felt sense of life, and all the concepts together forming a path toward something even larger, over and over… Like the path up a mountain, every step gives you a better view, and the further you go, the better it gets.

    Rob Parker grew up in a scientific family, with a deep appreciation for the power and elegance of modern science. Rob was also interested in spirituality from an early age, and has practiced yoga and zazen for many years. And all along, he has sensed that science and spirituality must be related, because reality doesn’t come in separate packages. These interests led to a career in psychology, an area where science and spirit seem to overlap, and to an interest in the philosophical assumptions that underlie modern science. Rob specialized in psychological trauma; he designed and directed several treatment programs for trauma survivors and trauma perpetrators, published and lectured for professional audiences and appeared on national media.

    His experience as a psychologist made Rob acutely aware of the problems inherent in our current approach to science. In 2000, the search for a new scientific paradigm led him to visit philosopher Eugene Gendlin. Rob recognized in Gendlin’s work a revolutionary new way of exploring and understanding science, spirituality, meaning and the related issues of our time. Recognizing a once in a lifetime opportunity, Rob began meeting regularly with Gendlin until his death in 2017. This class is part of Rob’s ongoing commitment to understand and experience Gendlin’s philosophy ever more deeply (learning by teaching), and to share that understanding and experience with others.

    Using Interpersonal Skills to Heal Shame—
    Undoing Aloneness and Building Attachment

    A workshop for therapists and other helping professionals with Sheila Rubin LMFT, RDT/BCT and Bret Lyon PhD, SEP

    Register

    Monthly Process Group Starts September 2023

    Screening for new group members required

    This group meets Saturdays once a month, from 9am - 1 pm

    January - June $200 per month

    It is wonderful for me to be a part of this space that we create where we endeavor to be genuine and open, exploring our own ability to risk and to be open to others. The groups are a combination of exercise and process work. The exercises energize and open our physical system. It is a playful way to explore different attitudes and feeling states and sets the stage for the work we do each session.

    Along with process-oriented therapy we use other modalities for the work and take advantage of the extra energy provided by having a group of people. The group provides a supportive, non-judgmental environment to explore the issues that come up in our lives and in our interactions with one another.

    Group is a wonderful adjunct to individual therapy and gives us an opportunity to explore and create the deeper connection that we all long for.

    Call soon for more information and screening appointment as there is some preparation required. The group is intended to be in-person, but feel free to let me know if you are interested in a virtual group.

    $395 full price / $375 Early Bird Discount if paid in full by August 18 (Use coupon code EARLYBIRD) Special rate for interns - $70 off full price (Use coupon code INTERN) 13 CE credits available for California therapists (See website for details.) CAMFT CE provider #134393

    In many studies of the effectiveness of therapy, a strong connection between therapist and client has been noted as the clearest predictor of success. And yet our own fear and shame of doing the wrong thing can get in the way of that connection. We can be overly susceptible to messages telling us to be "neutral” and “professional.” We can find ourselves holding back our warmth, generosity, and enthusiasm.

    In this workshop you will discover powerful tools to connect with a client quickly and deeply. We will provide demonstrations to help you decide when to hold back and when to bring yourself forward, both emotionally and physically. Because shame can produce a state of freeze, we may need to be even more active and kind in order to counter it. You will learn ways to convey to the client “I’m right there with you”—in a dance in which you alternate between follower and leader. We will examine ways to utilize therapist counter-transference and level the playing field that shame distorts—and combine the seemingly contradictory roles of caring friend and trusted expert.

    There is no prerequisite for this course.

    Gendlin Symposium

    Deliberative Transformation: Embodied Phenomenology and Process Thinking

    Register

    Gendlin's philosophy combines conceptual innovation on a foundational level, and new possibilities of self-transformation on the practice level. Both go hand in hand. We are only at the beginning of spelling out the profound potential of this unique approach for today's urgent problems. We are also only at the beginning of spelling out the relevance of his work for philosophical and psychological discourse, for approaches in the cognitive sciences, as well as for philosophical, psycho-therapeutic and research practices.

    Presented by The International Focusing Institute

    September 28 - October 1, 2023

    Many of our political and social patterns make mutual understanding disturbingly difficult. Rigid categories and identities cramp and undercut the personal, collective, and systemic transformation that global, environmental and social challenges call for. In this kind of stuckness the relevance of Gendlin´s process thinking and experiential approach deserves careful consideration.

    Gendlin's philosophy combines conceptual innovation on a foundational level, and new possibilities of self-transformation on the practice level. Both go hand in hand. We are only at the beginning of spelling out the profound potential of this unique approach for today's urgent problems. We are also only at the beginning of spelling out the relevance of his work for philosophical and psychological discourse, for approaches in the cognitive sciences, as well as for philosophical, psycho-therapeutic and research practices.

    Gendlin's methodological and conceptual precision is a strong contribution in overcoming one of the major philosophical problems: dualistic, disembodied and non-responsive thinking-patterns that split between mind and body, humans and non-humans, body and environment, me and others, feeling and rationality etc. Understanding human living in constant interaction with environment is the basis for Gendlin's re-evaluation of experiencing, and for his focus on the creation of fresh meaning.

    Gendlin's work evokes new personal, social and ecological ways of thinking and being. By letting felt sensing explicate the experiencing body's implicit understandings, one learns to think both with and beyond patterns/structures. This opens new paths for liberatory, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary understandings, encouraging sensitive and deliberative transformation.

    6 Office hours?21 Self-study hours

    Faculty: Certified Hakomi Trainers: Deah Baird, ND, LPC, Lorena Monda, MS, DOM, LPCC, and Teacher in Training Rick Cummings, LPC, CHT & Guest Faculty

    Registration

    Full Description:

    Designed for those individuals who have completed a Level One training in Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy, Level Two focuses on the map of character theory and practice. Character refers to early learning and adaptation processes. As children, we imprint experiences that shape our neural development in ways that result in an enduring set of beliefs and perceptions. These beliefs, or implicit models, unconsciously organize our behavior resulting in automatic and habitual strategies for living that are both adaptive and limiting.

    Level Two of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology continues to develop the skills and practices learned in Level One, introduces new theoretical maps to help refine participants' application of the Hakomi method, and includes extensive advanced supervision. Satisfactory completion of Level One is the prerequisite for acceptance into Level Two. This level focuses on in-depth coverage of the Hakomi method's conceptualization of character theory, an understanding of the organization of personality and character into patterns that reveal developmental and cultural wounding. Participants are guided in creating customized strategies to help attune to and access clients' core material, offering reparative experiences to help heal developmental trauma/attachment wounds and cultural wounds.

    Objectives:

    In this training you will learn to:

    • Recognize the somatic organization and governing beliefs related to each of the character strategies
    • Engage effectively with the five basic categories of character strategies used in Hakomi Experiential Psychotherapy
    • Implement effective clinical strategies for working with character in a psychotherapeutic context through demonstrations and experiential exercises
    • Evaluate client-therapist interactions from the perspective of character development
    • Work with sensitivity to the neurobiological context of of human change processes, including character formation and change
    • Use Hakomi's dynamic diagnostic map, the Hakomi Sensitivity Cycle, to tailor your interventions with greater precision
    • Employ mindful self-awareness to address counter-transference and therapist's core issues that impact clinical effectiveness
    • Review and deepen your skill in working with child states to bring about lasting transformation

  • USABP Spotlight - Integrating Rubenfeld Synergy Method with Psychodrama

    • 5 Oct 2023
    • 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
    • Zoom
    • 45 registrants
    Register

    This Spotlight Series Event is brought to you in partnership with Rubenfeld Synergy Method.

    Body awareness in role-play deepens the client's therapeutic work and helps them experience desired changes. This experiential workshop gives you the unique opportunity to engage in role-play, body scan work with self-touch, and the use of the empty chair technique in your client sessions.

    Presented by Judy Swallow, MA, CRES, TEP, LCAT

    Co-Director of Hudson Valley Psychodrama Institute

    This event will be recorded and available for members and non-members who register for this event. This course will not include CEs. 


    Description

    The Rubenfeld Synergy Method ® is a way to combine bodymind awareness with talk and touch. Psychodrama is a way to gain deeper understanding through role play. These two forms of bodymind therapy work well with each other.

    This workshop invites you to experiment with first yourselves and then with each other to enhance awareness of present situations and to try on possibilities of alternatives. Included will be a facilitated body scan with self-touch and imagery. An experience of non-habitual activity takes us beyond ‘known’ boundaries. Empty chair work allows for expression of personal thoughts and feelings; then role reversal allows for responses and awareness of ‘the other’ we hold inside. We end by sharing our discoveries of how we can share these skills with our clients.

    The Main Points of this Workshop:

    • The body has a lot to teach us if we listen with respectful and non-judgmental awareness.
    • The body/mind is activated in the here and now.
    • Awareness is first necessary to allow for change.
    • Direct expression frees up energy.
    • Reversing roles allows for widening awareness.

    Participants will Learn:

    • How to do a body scan with self-touch and imagery 
    • How to stay in the here and now (present tense) while using the empty chair psychodramatic technique.
    • How to role reverse and stay in the present tense
    • How to assess any bodymind differences from the roles taken.

    Presenter Information

    Judy Swallow , MA, CRS, TEP, LCAT 
    Judy Swallow has been working as a practitioner and teacher of both psychodrama and Rubenfeld Synergy ® for over 40 years. She is a co-director of the Hudson Valley Psychodrama Institute, which serves both national and international students. She is also a founding member of Playback Theater, now practiced worldwide.

      Realization Process Meditation Teacher Online Certification Training

      Attunement Practices for Embodied Nondual Realization

      With Judith Blackstone, PhD

      October 6, 2023-April 12, 2024

      Register

      Dates of classes with Judith - Fridays, 1:00-2:30 PM Eastern. October 6, October 20, November 3, November 17, December 1, December 15, February 2, February 16, March 1, March 15, March 29, April 12.

      Format - twelve ninety-minute classes live on Zoom with Judith, six optional review classes with Candace Cave, eleven reports/questions answered by Judith via email, weekly practice with a partner assigned to you within the group, monthly practice with someone outside of the group, optional peer cohort practice sessions

      The Realization Process attunement practices offer an effective complement to any psychotherapy modality by teaching a method of deepening inward contact with oneself that cultivates wholeness, vitality, relaxation and authenticity. The practices can contribute to healing attachment issues by helping people connect deeply with other people without losing inward contact with themselves.

      In the Realization Process, nondual realization is the uncovering of our primary nature: fundamental consciousness pervading our body and environment as a unity. This training teaches the main Realization Process practices for embodied nondual awakening, as well as specific practices for cultivating the subtlety, openness, luminosity and steadiness of nondual realization. The training includes sitting, standing and walking meditations for opening subtle perception, refining your breath and energy and deepening your innate capacities for love, pleasure and mental clarity. As fundamental consciousness, we are both empty and present. We are both whole within our individual being and unified with everyone and everything around us.

      Participants will learn how to perceive and help people overcome individual obstacles to nondual realization, and how to accelerate results in meditation practice for both beginning and advanced practitioners. The training is also an opportunity to deepen your own realization of fundamental consciousness, through intensive practice of the Realization Process meditations.

      Requirements for registration: Five hours of experience of the Realization Process practices with Judith Blackstone or a senior Realization Process teacher (not a book or recording).

      Cost - $1600 ($1200 for USABP members).

      He, she, they are a ‘narcissist’ has become a term of contempt in modern society. We are all ‘narcissists’. Narcissism is the set of developmental dynamics, structures, and processes by which people develop, sustain, and manage self-esteem. There are pathological forms of narcissistic functioning, and deformations of narcissistic structures. Bioenergetic analysis gives us a very direct way to contact the effects of healthy and unhealthy forms of inspiration and deflation, corresponding to self-esteem and adjustments to self-esteem, or chronic self-denigration, or even absence of self-valuation.

    • USABP On The Move featuring Paula Josa Jones

      Please join us for our USABP On The Move premiere featuring facilitation from Paula Josa-Jones.


      Experiential Descriptor:

      This class deepens our connection to the body through conscious movement, breath, touch, sound and imagery. In learning to move from the body's own innate rhythms and impulses, we open to deeper expressivity and vitality. Grounding experience in the moving body dissolves the separation between inner and outer experiencing, allowing us to sense and feel ourselves and others with greater compassion and curiosity.


      Our Guest Facilitator:

      Paula Josa-Jones, CLMA, MSMET, SEP, TTEAM
      CLMA: Certified Laban Movement Analyst
      MSMET: ISMETA Registered Master Somatic Movement Educator/Therapist
      SEP: Somatic Experiencing© Practitioner
      TTEAM: Tellington TTouch Equine Awareness Practitioner
      Artistic Director, Choreographer @ Paula Josa-Jones Performance Works

      "At the core of my work is a passion for movement that springs from an unpredictable, limitless aliveness in the body. Being in the body means experiencing it in a bloodful, breathing way that is transformative and improvisational - diving into the deep waters of the body and all its wild possibility... 

      ...My goal is to help people connect to their creativity, to improvisation as a life practice, and to their own delicious experience of conscious embodiment."

      Paula is a dance artist, choreographer, equestrian, author, movement educator and therapist. Her background includes deep research into theater, somatics, improvisation, film, Deep Listening, Laban Movement Analysis, Body-Mind CenteringⒸ, interspecies relationships, equine studies, Authentic Movement and eco-performance. Much of Josa-Jones's solo work arises from her own experience of being gender non-conforming, and movement explorations of the deeply complex architecture of identity and expression.

      Paula is a Certified Laban Movement Analyst and a Master Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist (MSMET) accredited by the ISMETA, the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association. She is also a Guild-Certified TTEAM (Tellington Touch Equine Awareness Method) practitioner and a Somatic Experiencing ® practitioner. Her writings on movement and dance have been published in Contact Quarterly. Her book, Our Horses, Ourselves: Discovering the Common Body, was published by Trafalgar Square Books.

      USABP ON THE MOVE is an opportunity for our community to connect and experience restorative practices while getting exposure to many forms of somatic movement and mindful body-awareness programs. 

      The root of e-motion is “to move.” The same regions of the brain responsible for movement also carry out our cognitive processes. Our brain evolved from movement and still depends on it day to day. Join us to discover how conscious movement can bring nourishing restoration, playful community connection, and the understanding of how moving helps our thoughts, words, and actions.

      Somatic tools may include, among others, breath, movement, self-directed touch, sound vibration, and conscious dialogue.

      The Evolutionary Purpose of Shame: Why we need to Embrace Shame Free Webinar October 14, 2023 10 am -1 pm PT Live on Zoom, no CE available

      https://healingshame.com/new-events/2023/-evolutionary-purpose-of-shame-free

      We live in challenging times. The toxic shame that has been passed down from generation to generation has erupted in many ways at this time. All that shame begins to shut us down and separate us from our feelings and desire. It not only separates us from ourselves, it separates us from each other.

      This is where an understanding of where shame comes from and how it affects us becomes vital. Shame comes from isolation, from boundary violations and from an inability to tolerate difference. As therapists and helpers, we have an important role to play in this process. If we embrace shame, we can transform toxic shame into healthy shame, we can focus on coming together and being united, on reaching out rather than pulling in and blaming others, on choosing hope over fear. By looking at shame as a painful, but useful, source of information, of where we need to and long to heal, it can be embraced instead of resisted.

      This workshop is in celebration of our new book: “Embracing Shame: How to Stop Resisting Shame and Transform It Into a Powerful Ally.” It is designed to undo the aloneness and loss we all feel right now by sharing as a community; the workshop will be interactive. Coming from a heart-centered place, we will share concepts and exercises to help ourselves and our clients strengthen and replenish in the face of all we have been through, both personally and as a world.

        Hakomi integrates mindfulness and somatics into the psychotherapy process with profoundly effective results:

        The dynamic use of mindfulness is a foundation of the Hakomi Method. When integrated into the therapy session with unique Hakomi techniques, it creates a rapid, experiential access route to unconscious core beliefs and implicit memories that invisibly shape our lives and behavior.

        Hakomi integrates mindfulness and somatics into the psychotherapy process with profoundly effective results:

        The dynamic use of mindfulness is a foundation of the Hakomi Method. When integrated into the therapy session with unique Hakomi techniques, it creates a rapid, experiential access route to unconscious core beliefs and implicit memories that invisibly shape our lives and behavior. Once conscious and directly experienced, these are available for memory re-consolidation and transformation, including the healing of attachment issues.

        This experiential process evokes a powerful "felt sense" for the client, allowing them to take ownership of core patterns as they emerge, and to integrate new options.

        This workshop is designed for therapists, counselors, social workers, coaches, healing professionals & graduate students in these fields.

        Sheila Rubin, MA, LMFT, RDT/BCT

        Bret Lyon, PhD, SEP





        In this speakers event, authors Bret Lyon and Sheila Rubin will discuss what they have discovered as a successful pathway for transforming shame from a self-punishing emotion into a powerful ally for your health and happiness. Join us Monday, October 23, 2023, 10 am PST

        - Why we need to embrace shame
        - Unlocking shame binds
        - Working with shame as an embodied cognition

        About Embracing Shame

        After decades of successful teaching, we have found ways to heal shame's negative effects and transform it into the supportive force it was meant to be - and we have condensed over twenty years of research and experience into this book. Through case studies, creative tools, and body-based practices, we show you how to break the cycle of toxic shame and access the messages, insights, and surprising gifts that become available as you access inner reservoirs of positive energy.

        With Embracing Shame, we are proud to share an invaluable guide to an emotion so volatile that most of us―including therapists―avoid talking about it. Given how painful and destructive shame can be, it’s easy to see this emotion as an inner demon that turns our own mind against us. Yet shame is a universal emotion―and it serves an important purpose. While toxic shame can keep us stuck in a self-defeating vortex, there is a healthy expression of shame designed to protect us, help us change, and actually build our self-esteem.

        While no amount of positive self-talk or therapy can eradicate shame, we can transform shame into a supportive, health-promoting force. Created as a resource for laypersons and healing professionals alike, Embracing Shame offers a path for reclaiming the true potential of this vital emotion to help you grow, connect, and find a new confidence in the way you move through life

        The Massachusetts Society for Bioenergetic Analysis Professional Training Program provides in-depth training in the theory and practice of Bioenergetic Analysis following the guidelines and curriculum of the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis (IIBA). The training includes didactic and experiential teaching methods, relevant readings, discussions, and extensive group work. Trainees who complete the full training program are eligible to apply to become Certified Bioenergetic Therapists through the International Institute of Bioenergetic Analysis.

        In addition to the theory and practice of Bioenergetic Analysis, the training focuses on personal growth.

        By understanding how our history shaped our present, how our character structure evolved, and how we can decrease our fears and energetic blocks, we can move toward being the therapists we strive to be. Ultimately, as Bioenergetic therapists, our bodily experience and our personal development guide our work. Thus, we strongly emphasize individual Bioenergetic therapy for trainees, both in the group and with their personal therapist.

        The Art of Curiosity?
        An Experiential Introduction to Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy.

        The dynamic use of mindfulness is a foundation of the Hakomi Method. When integrated into the therapy session with unique Hakomi techniques it creates a rapid, experiential access route to unconscious core beliefs and implicit memories that invisibly shape our lives and behavior. Once conscious and directly experienced, these are available for memory re-consolidation and transformation, including the healing of attachment issues. This experiential process evokes a powerful "felt sense" for the client, allowing them to take ownership of core patterns as they emerge and to create new options.

        Read & Register

        Faculty:  Julia Corley, MA, LCHMCA, NCC, SEP, Certified Hakomi Trainer

        Full Description:

        Hakomi is a body-centered (somatic) approach. The body is viewed as a "map of the psyche"- a door that can be opened to reveal the entire unconscious belief system of the individual. The body's habitual patterns can become a powerful access route to deeply held core material.

        Loving presence and the healing relationship are also central to Hakomi. We develop exquisite sensitivity and attunement using empathic skills to read and contact subtle, unconscious cues. This creates a deep sense of safety and connection.

        In this experiential workshop, you will be introduced to the following key concepts and techniques that can be integrated into your current practice, in addition to seeing a Hakomi demo session:

        The attitude of the therapist in Hakomi

        • Loving presence
        • Non-egocentric nourishment
        • Hakomi's unique application of mindfulness Contact and tracking
        • Accessing questions and directives
        • The Hakomi principles
        • The experimental attitude and "little experiments"

        The child lives on! Though we may develop adult bodies and think our childhood is long behind us, somewhere inside the child is still alive, deeply influencing our thoughts, words and actions. It may be that the most important relationship we have is the relationship we develop with our inner child. In this workshop, we will teach you how to help your clients reestablish a healthy relationship with their inner child—so that they can both listen and talk to that sensitive, creative, and essential part of us.

        Using Imaginal techniques, we join and explore the world of the child. We learn how to work effectively and add a healthy coach or caring inner parent to repair the shame-ruptured parts from neglect or simply misattunements. We say hello to the part that wants to eat healthy and the part that wants ice cream. And say hello to the bully and the scary places. We learn to listen deeply and provide the champion or protector that the child didn’t have. We get to explore and re-enact scenes from childhood when a person was shamed and repair or replace what they wish they could have said.

        This workshop will also cover different levels of how to work clinically with children age 2 to 12 years old. We will be working with psychosocial development and early attachment and nourishment that can get disrupted and need repair. We will cover case examples; exercises and games, including puppets, therapeutic storytelling, and interactive story-making with kids and families; drama therapy; expressive arts processes, including drawing and writing exercises; and more.

          This webinar is going to talk about shock, trauma, and contemporary bioenergetic analysis.

          Many psychodynamic psychotherapists are becoming somatically informed in their work through learning somatic trauma regulating techniques. These trauma techniques do not integrate easily into psychodynamic models of therapy. Our contemporary bioenergetic model of therapy is the next training these psychotherapists will need.

          Many bioenergetic theories and techniques used in bioenergetic therapy are very useful in working with patients who suffer from shock trauma, however there are other bioenergetic theories and techniques that are not applicable and can create problems when working with the dissociative state of these clients.

          In this webinar we’re going to explore what works and what doesn’t work in treating clients who have single incidents and complex developmental trauma. We will explore how shock trauma is held in the body and in the autonomic nervous system. We will explore the dangers of rapid adrenalization of the body, of mistakenly confusing dissociation with repression, of the special type of tracking awareness in the client and the therapist necessary to treat shock trauma, and the importance of an attuned and genuine caring two-person relational model of therapy

          Aylee Welch, LICSW is a master therapist and the Director of Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy. Her teaching and supervision emphasizes Core Energetics that incorporates contemporary neurobiology and trauma theory.

          She has been a therapist and educator for over 30 years working in many settings and with a wide variety of populations, and in private practice with a focus on combining group and individual work. Her unconventional life path and her experience as a community herbalist & a Ceremonialist inform and enhance her work and inspires and shapes the program at Seattle School of Body- Psychotherapy. Additionally, she is a regular contributor for Somatic Psychotherapy Today.




          About the Spotlight Organization

          Seattle School of Body-Psychotherapy offers a three-year training program which can be taken for both personal transformation and professional development. The program at SSBP incorporates the work of Wilhelm Reich and Core Energetics with contemporary therapies and indigenous practices. With the understanding that pure life force emanates from the Core of every being and always remains intact, we study how to track the blocks that obscure it over time and through the life cycle. We learn techniques to free the expansive life energy in order to use it on behalf of our life, our interpersonal experiences, and to reconnect with our joy. The result is as spiritual as it is psychological, opening our perception and that of those with whom we work, to the greater world around us as well as to our own unique offering which we call “Referencing From the Self.” Read more

          We all go through it. No one is immune. And nothing produces more universal shame in our society than aging. Whereas many societies have deep respect for people as they age and see a vital role for elders, our society still worships youth.

          In this workshop, we will explore and learn to be more comfortable with our own aging process. And we will explore ways to help clients talk about, explore and heal their own shame around aging.

          We will:
          Discover ways to help clients become aware of the many messages they received and continue to receive about aging and body image from family and society.

          Learn ways to help clients cope with the shame of not being able to do all that they once did.

          Understand counter-shaming techniques to help ourselves and our clients find pride and joy in the new reality-seeing that there are real gains as well as losses in this new stage of life.

          Work with the shame that can cause and result from sicknesses and injuries.

          Identify challenges in being looked at as unimportant and "not up to par" by a youth-oriented society and the layers of shame that can occur.

          Discover how to make the necessary adjustments so we can regain access to the life force and creativity that we still have in a grounded and embodied way.

          Begin to shift and transform cultural stereotypes about aging by finding a reservoir of vitality, inner vision and clear action for the next phase of life, that may be hidden under shame!
