This Spotlight Series Event is brought to you in partnership with Organic Intelligence®, a level 1 training institute member of the USABP Educator Alliance. Join Organic Intelligence® founder Steve Hoskinson as he presents.
This event will include our special Overtime!
Overtime allows attendees to continue to ask questions and invite conversation on the event material, other related inquiries, or cases after the formal event ends.
The realities of ever-larger traumas (e.g., climate, war, geo-politics, and other abuses) impinge daily on our lives—minds, bodies, and hearts. It so often feels like so much and is so heartbreaking. How can we find peace with these complex realities without turning away or burning out?
Wondering how to keep up? Hunker down, throw down, or give up? Discover some of the inevitable hurdles to expect and the strategies for overcoming the chaos—personal, professional, and societal.
No matter what your level of self-care, this workshop will provide strategies to grow longevity as a compassionate human. You have skills that are needed. Now add a few key science-based strategies to help guide your clients (and yourself) from trauma to Post-Trauma Growth (PTG).
As we know, our wellbeing has everything to do with timing: circadian, Basic Rest and Activity (BRAC), diurnal, ultradian. With a knowledge of sync, you can apply (or stop applying) the right tools at the right time to enhance your efficiency and grow your energy stores. We can’t ignore complexity science because it’s too “complex”. The world is more complex than ever, so let this be your ease-in introduction. Get the mapping to use the skills you already have (meditation, somatics, psychodynamics) to grow your ease, and catalyze Post-Trauma Growth.
The Main Points of This Workshop:
- How and why understanding allostasis easily shifts the frame on clinical work
- Small clinical adaptations to align with the brain’s primary predictive capacity
- The causes of widespread, unexpected, unwanted harm in treatment
- Foundations of Post-Trauma Growth (PTG)
- How to use somatics, when not to use somatics, to catalyze PTG
Participants will learn:
- To recognize clinical, observable signs that a client session will be catalytic, without unraveling in the next few days after a session
- How to begin to recognize, and work within describable phases of somatic organization
- Why working in the “window of enjoyment” is different than the window of tolerance—and how to work there and stay attuned
- Track dimensions of attunement that preserve an integrative somatic frame, and support what’s most essential: the relational container
- How attunement is co-regulation, and how to avoid the common transference pitfalls of developmentally fixated needs

About the Spotlight Organization
The Organic Intelligence® (OI™) training is characterized by scientific and professional rigor, by contemplative underpinnings and by enjoyment. Through the lens of OI’s Post-Trauma Growth orientation, OI answers the question, “What if people had not been convinced that addressing trauma (including dysfunction, dysregulation, and disembodiment) was the focus of therapy?” OI applies complexity science to clinical and somatic insights, and observes, “Trauma means unintegrated resource.” With this, OI members and their clients come to realize the actual, lived experience of their innate healing nature. A range of educational opportunities are available, for seasoned therapists, coaches or beginners, including the year-long OI Coach Certification program.
