  A Workshop for Therapists and Helping Professionals

  with Bret Lyon PhD, SEP & Sheila Rubin LMFT, RDT/BCT

  Online using Zoom – Live and Recorded

  2 Saturdays: May 20th and June 3rd, 2023

  10am–6pm Pacific Time

  $395 full price / $375 with full payment by April 7, 2023/ Special price for interns

  13 CE credits available for California therapists (See website for details.) CAMFT CE provider #134393

  Emotions are designed to run through our bodies and complete in an action. Every emotion has an action tendency. The action tendency of shame is to hide, vanish, disappear. Shame is designed to keep us safe by binding with the other primary emotions, lower their intensity, and keep them from completing in an action, such as grieving, reaching out, or setting a boundary. When shame binds with anger, fear, joy, curiosity, or grief, those emotions cannot finish. We get caught in a maze of feelings, with no end. When someone simply can’t get angry, or can’t finish grieving a loss, or can’t feel joyful, or can’t move forward in life, we know that shame is involved, binding with the other primary emotions in a toxic, endless stew of feelings.

  In this workshop, learn how to help clients untangle shame from the other primary emotions so that they can complete. A client can mourn a loss and move on, or express anger in an appropriate way, study for an exam, complete a project, or simply enjoy life. Learn to explain the shame-fear bind, the shame-grief bind, the shame-anger bind, the shame-joy bind, and the way shame binds with curiosity to keep us stuck. And learn techniques to untangle the binds so the client can live their life in a fuller, more productive, and more joyful way.

  There is no prerequisite for this course.

  Tamalpa Experience introduces an approach that enlivens dialogue between body and imagination, life experiences and art making, creativity and healing.

  Presented by Tamalpa Institute

  Grounded on the Halprin work, the Tamalpa Experience introduces an approach that enlivens dialogue between body and imagination, life experiences and art making, creativity and healing. While on this retreat, you will be introduced to the foundational methods and models of the Tamalpa Life/Art Process.

  Through the use of movement, drawing, poetic writing, improvisational performance and ritual, you will tap into art’s symbolic language to encounter and explore current life themes, generating new resources to apply in your personal and professional life.

  Drawing from Anna Halprin’s Movement Ritual, Natan Daskal will begin each morning with somatic awareness and movement exercises to awaken and tune the physical body. Throughout the day, you will be guided to explore your personal material through a model that interweaves movement/dance, visual art and poetic narrative, opening doorways of insight, creativity and play.

  Daria will introduce Body Part Mapping and the Self Portrait Process, visual and narrative maps that will lead you into the themes, memories and dreams that inform your life. Individual and collective life narratives will provide material to generate encounters and inspire embodied models for change.

  Dohee Lee will draw from her practice in Korean Shamanism and performative ritual by utilizing techniques that connect to voice, body, heartbeat and spirit.

  Over the course of the week, through group interaction and collaboration, we will form a community for healing art and ritual. The workshop will conclude with a Planetary Peace Dance.

• Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT): Level 1 Professional Training

  • Start
    12 Jun 2023
  • End
    17 Jun 2023
  • Location
    Whidbey Institute, Whidbey Island, WA

  Mindful Awareness in Body-oriented Therapy (MABT): Level 1 Professional Training 
  

  In Person 6 -day Intensive 

  Dates: 12 June  – 17 June 2023

  Location: Whidbey Institute, Whidbey Island, WA

  Faculty: Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT, Carla Wiechman, and Taylor Koval 

  Want to learn how to incorporate interoceptive awareness skills in your practice?  MABT Level 1 training is an evidence-based and trauma-informed approach that teaches therapists and practitioners to facilitate and develop interoceptive awareness in their clients in order to enhance emotion and nervous system regulation, and self-care. The MABT approach includes education, interoceptive awareness training, and mindfulness.  This course involves experiential learning of this approach and is for professionals and graduate students. 

  
  

  MABT teaches therapists how to facilitate their clients’ ability to learn and develop interoceptive awareness (awareness of internal body sensations) and related skills for self-care and emotion regulation.  An evidenced-based approach, the focus is on learning to facilitate:  a) increase body awareness, b) access interoceptive awareness through exercises using breath and intention, c) the capacity for sustained attention within specific areas of the body and learn an inquiry process that promotes somatic appraisal, self-awareness and insight, and e)  interoceptive awareness practices that can be integrated into daily life to promote self-care and regulation. This approach is helpful to all, but particularly for those disconnected from their bodies due to stress pain, trauma, or chronic physical and mental health conditions.

  
  

  This course is offered by the Center for Mindful Body Awareness.   Classes are small to provide personalized instructional support throughout the week. This course is for any therapist/clinician who is interested in incorporating interoceptive awareness into their practice. The course will take place at the beautiful Whidbey Institute ~ accommodation and meals are included in the price;  food is superb, and meals can be made to address any dietary considerations.  

  
  

  The cost of $2500 includes the program, accommodation (double) and meals; single room available for additional fee.  CEs available through APA approved sponsor for licensed mental health therapists and through NCTMB for massage therapists.  Early bird discount if registered by 12/15/22! 

  
  

  Presenters: Cynthia Price, PhD MA LMT is the Center Director, and Research Professor at the University of WA,  Cynthia developed the MABT approach as a body-psychotherapist, and has completed numerous studies examining the benefits of MABT in community settings. Carla Wiechman, LMT and Taylor Koval, LMT are experienced body therapists who have worked in MABT research studies.

• USABP Presents: The Alchemy of Safety & Danger in Relationship Therapy

  This Spotlight Series Event is brought to you in partnership with the Institute of Core Energetics.

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

  Description

  Relationship work asks of us to live with the dynamic tension between creating safety and taking risks that can be experienced as dangerous. Finding the “window of tolerance” where couples can feel secure enough to bring forth uncomfortable truths, navigate conflict, expose vulnerabilities, and welcome each other’s individuality is essential.

  The somatic relationship approach I take draws from the traditions of Core Energetics as well as the challenges and insights of my 43 year marriage to Marcia. The Embodied Relationship approach is also informed by a number of other modalities and traditions, including IFS, attachment theory, Polyvagal theory and Pathwork.

  In our time together, I will address some of the key components to helping couples move from protection to connection. We will explore the fundamentals of healthy conflict, and how we support couples in activating empathic resonance.

  Agenda
  

  • Welcome
  • Interview with Presenter
    
  • Presentation & Experiential
    
  • Q & A

  Areas we will cover:

  • Why there is more fear in relationship work
  • Protective patterns and what they protect
  • Honoring and releasing nervous system reactivity
  • How expressing “big energy” can be crucial
  • The “sacred shift” - from protection to vulnerability
  • Why empathy is at the heart of all relationship transformation

  Learning Objectives:

  • Understanding had to be in control without being controlling.
  • Recognizing what each person is fighting FOR.
  • The principle of “emotional layering.”
  • How to distinguish young and adult needs.
  • How to incorporate “catalyzing” interventions

  About the Spotlight Organization

  John Pierrakos, MD developed the Core Energetics Evolutionary Process and is the founder of the Institute of Core Energetics. Core Energetics theory comes from the premise that emotional, mental and physical disturbances are symptoms of blocked energy due to an individual’s adaptive responses to environmental deficits or injuries in childhood. The work brings consciousness to how we block our energy and recreate defense patterns adapted in childhood that keep us limited and disempowered. READ MORE

  Presented by Bret Lyon, PhD, SEP and Sheila Rubin, LMFT, RDT/BCT

  Sat, June 17 & 24, 2023

  10:00 AM -6:00 PM Pacific Time

  Online - Live and recorded, using Zoom

  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!

  There is no prerequisite for this course.

• Pre and Perinatal Trauma Video Course

  • Location
    Online

  Learn effective methods to help clients work through prenatal and perinatal trauma and global high-intensity activation
  

  When - Online video course

  Location - Online

  Presented by Raja Selvam, PhD

  Author of The Practice of Embodying Emotions

  18 CE credits are available (Provided by Amedco)

  Learn effective methods to help clients work through prenatal and perinatal trauma and global high-intensity activation, utilizing …

  1. the specialized knowledge of the physiology and energy anatomy of prenatal and perinatal trauma and global high-intensity activation,

  2. the principles of physical and energetic regulation, and

  3. the tools of emotional embodiment and interpersonal resonance from Integral Somatic Psychology™ (ISP™) that include the work with archetypes from Jungian psychology as resources to help facilitate emotional processing.

  Register Now - https://integralsomaticpsychology.com/prenatal-perinatal-trauma-video-course/

  Persistent imprints from prenatal and perinatal traumas are often in the form of implicit somatic memories with a tendency towards global high-intensity activation in the central nervous system.

  This can lead to long-term symptoms such as anxiety, migraines, heart dysregulation, allergies, attachment and relational difficulties, and emotional difficulties such as persistent low self-esteem.

  Symptoms of prenatal and perinatal trauma and global high-intensity activation can also be seen in clients whose caregivers had activation from causes such as war; or in clients who did not have adequate interactive regulation from their caregivers early in their lives.

  If unresolved, they often form the template of how we are affected by later traumas and compromise our ability to cope with them.

  The course will cover the following topics:

  Major types of prenatal and perinatal trauma

  Existential terror, fragmentation, rage, and shame

  Physiological and energetic defenses commonly involved

  Global high-intensity of the central nervous system

  How to efficiently work with all of the above by building a greater capacity for a larger range of emotional experiences by using the body as a container

  The science of embodied cognition, emotion, and behavior

  The role of archetypes from Jungian psychology as resources for processing emotions

  Included…

  Lifetime online course access

  Three demonstrations

  • New scholarship around body reading outside of the traditional paradigm, including female, gender-nonconforming, and BIPOC authors
  • Renewed considerations around safety and wellbeing in the body conversation experience
  • Approaches to body reading, including working from the whole and working with segments
  • How body conversations can be a meaningful experience on their own and/or lead to deep, transformative work for many sessions to come

  Renew, deepen or find for the first time your eros around the vulnerable, intimate and vast field of seeing others. Help your clients feel more seen. And allow yourself to feel your own body and spirit more deeply. (Open to body practitioners of any background and students.)

  While no one has an easy time with shame, for many men it can be especially hard. Men often don't even realize that they feel shame. They may suddenly find themselves shouting or blaming someone else, or pulling away and stonewalling. They may find themselves depressed and isolated, without really knowing why.

  In this workshop we explore the invisible shame in many men. You will learn how to countershame them and invite them to join you rather than fight you when shame is activated in the session. We offer tools and languaging that will move men into curiosity about the shame underlying thoughts and behaviors. When we get them onboard with recognizing and accepting that they have shame, as everyone does, we can help them take steps to explore and heal.

  There is no prerequisite for this course.

  We experience universal changes in political, financial and ethical values, due to several worldwide crises coming together. Although we notice positive developments like climate consciousness and political support for freedom and war victims, we also face the destruction of war, social exclusion, poverty and racism.

  Here lies our challenge in bioenergetics: giving voice to the body of people, the body of freedom and the body of the earth, our mother.

  Let’s explore together the voices of our bodies, to listen to each other’s voices, and to raise our voices collectively.

  We have an engaging program and opportunities for networking during the Welcome Cocktail Plenary Sessions, Afternoon Workshops, Exercise Groups, Beach Party & Dancing, Gala Dinner and Membership Meeting.

  Our 2023 program will have an impressive line-up of speakers both from within our global community of Bioenergetic Therapists and beyond and will cover a range of topical issues related to Giving Voice to the Body in Challenging Times.

  • Location
    Loveland, CO

  This in-person weekend workshop invites you to deepen your embodied relationship of the vagus nerve alongside other key subtleties for healing our nervous system, for restoring and re-storying our fundamental connectedness. We explore how the vagus, as informed by the Polyvagal Theory and the Social Engagement System, functions as a script for our nervous system.

  Presented by: Jenny Tracy, PhD Candidate California Institute of Integral Studies

  While contemplative thought and mindfulness are useful spiritual practices, for people with histories of trauma establishing safety can be foundational to an embodied relationship with the interconnected/ “reciprocally embedded” nature of reality. This necessitates facilitating the shift in traumatized individuals from a reflexive fear-based neuroception response to perceptual awareness rooted in a sense of feeling safe in relation to another. Supporting this shift toward a deeper embodied relationship to our interconnectedness, advancements in neurophysiology, as explained by the Polyvagal Theory, paired with in-body practices, aim to harness a union of mind and body while cultivating a deeply foundational sense of safety. This in turn has the potential to bring healing to all our relations, spiritual, environmental, and social, healing our world.

  This weekend workshop invites you to deepen your embodied relationship of the vagus nerve alongside other key subtleties for healing our nervous system, for restoring and re-storying our fundamental connectedness. We explore how the vagus, as informed by the Polyvagal Theory and the Social Engagement System, functions as a script for our nervous system. A mix of instruction, embodiment & meditation practices, and dialogic inquiry aim to deepen both the mind and body's knowing of the vagus and its role in healing and transforming relationships to self, other, our environment, and the transpersonal. Attention and intention are focused on engaging with in-body practices, bridging mind and body, as a pathway toward greater understanding, healing, and transformation. My hope is that you will leave this weekend with tools that can inform and bolster your own healing process, and for those working in the field of trauma healing and relational/spiritual context. For those of others.

  “If you want to improve the world, start by making people feel safer.”—Dr. Stephen Porges

  Who is this workshop for?

  This workshop is open to everyone. You may be a professional therapist, a healer or transformation guide and want to deepen your knowledge and experience as of how coming into a more embodied sense of the vagus nerve and Polyvagal Theory can enhance healing and wellbeing. Or perhaps you want to increase your own knowledge of your nervous system and improve your personal, interpersonal, environmental, and/or spiritual relationships?

  Preparing for the workshop:

  To get the most out of this weekend workshop, all participants are strongly encouraged to be familiar with some fundamentals of Polyvagal Theory. Though some basics will be covered during the introduction on Day 1, you will gain more by coming with a few basics in-hand. Once you register, you will be provided a list of resources you may wish to check out, and the instructor will be available for a 30-minute one-on-one chat prior to the workshop for any clarifying support.

  Presenter Bio

  Jenny is a 3rd year PhD candidate at California Institute of Integral Studies in the Transformative Studies department. Her PhD is transdisciplinary in nature and explores how the individual’s wellbeing is directly connected to social and ecological wellbeing. Her research explores how a deepening embodied sense of our fundamental connectedness to all things pivots around feeling safe in our mind and bodies especially for those with significant trauma. Spiritual pursuits and embodiment have guided her life. Being a dancer and rock climber did not privy her to being truly embodied and connected to her body, rather it was not until the silence of yoga and meditation came into her life with regularity that her body went from foe to friend. She has learned that to connect to life, to the interconnectedness of life, she must first deeply, intimately, bravely, connect to the subtleties of the self, her-self, both of beauty and shame. It is from this place of gratitude and grace that she teaches and offers an opportunity for others to do the same, to bravely be embodied, in themselves and in turn, with all things.
