HeartMind Resiliency is enrolling a new cohort for a curated learning experience for practitioners who are interested in developing and/or expanding their expertise in trauma recovery work. The primary focus will be on somatic and experiential therapies that support clients to re-negotiate trauma responses and attachment wounds, allowing increased psychobiological capacity and resiliency.
We are forming a small cohort of fellow learners from a variety of professional disciplines who are interested in developing expert skills and embodying new ways of being with others. In the spirit of exploration and the phenomenological nature of this work, a central focus will also be on our own subjective experiences.
We will meet in a monthly Experiential Learning Circle that will include expressive arts activities, didactic learning, demos and practice time through one’s own scope of practice. The approaches learned are highly relational and not protocol driven. You will learn to be with others’ trauma recovery process in the “Here and Now” by utilizing experiential approaches from the inside out, embodying the work and integrating it within your own professional and theoretical orientation.
We are seeking those who are lifelong learners, who are non-pathologizing in their view of mental health and wellness, who want to embody bottom-up somatic skills, and who are willing and excited to explore their own leading edges of personal and professional growth.
“I am incredibly grateful to you and Elizabeth for creating this safe learning space. It made me reflect and learn so much about myself, perhaps more than I have in other traditional therapy settings or trainings. I hope to continue to learn from you both in the future.”
-Nadia J., LCSW
“My key takeaways are learning more depth to expansion and contraction, new lens on how somatics can drive this, confirmation that I know some stuff, and new skills to truly channel this in a way that moves clients to a deeper space in therapy.”
– Sirena P., LPC-R, MS
“I hold so much space for others, it was so nice to have space for me to be held by Waller and Elizabeth, and by fellow participants. And having a place where I could let down my ‘ professional mask’ and be with other practitioners made me realize how much I crave that!”
-Erin L, Yoga Teacher & Somatic Coach
Early Bird Pricing: register by July 15th $1,050
