A Safe Place to Land: Training and Personal Growth Workshop for Helping Professionals – In Person

As a helping professional, it is often difficult to find safe spaces to do our own work, be fully authentic, and share our true selves.  We are Helpers, but first and foremost, we are people who need those safe spaces just as much as everyone else does – if not more – especially now.

What we really need is a place where we don’t have to be in charge, or “on,” so we can drop into our own emotional, physical, and spiritual healing.

In this four-day, in person workshop – for helping professionals only –  we will co-create connection, safety and support, and then bring issues to life through action, and greater somatic awareness and attunement.  In addition, we will explore specific ways to boost our own wellness, and support one another to move towards great life satisfaction.

Specific experiential and psychodrama techniques – including warm up, doubling, role reversal and the empty chair – will be utilized and taught, so that you can easily apply them in your clinical work as well.

Registration is limited to 12 people

COVID POLICIES

Due to the on-going Covid-19 crisis, participants are asked to complete rapid Covid tests on the first day of the workshop, to ensure that everyone tests negative. Participants can either complete their test prior to the workshop, and bring it with them to show they are negative, or arrive at least 20 minutes in advance of group to take the test before we start the workshop. If anyone either tests positive for Covid-19 or has illness symptoms, we ask that you not return for the remainder of the workshop and a credit will be given towards a future workshop for time missed.

If there is reason to believe it is a false positive (which studies show are rare), you can get a PCR test and may be allowed to return to the workshop with:

• a negative PCR test
• no symptoms
• a willingness to wear a medical grade mask (N-95, KN-95, KF-94, or surgical)
• other group participants feel comfortable with this

General mask requirements for the workshop will be dependent on local ordinance and communicated prior to group.

PLEASE NOTE

– We also request that all workshops and trainings be scent-free (other than pure essential oils).  Many people have allergies to such substances and we appreciate your abstaining from wearing any perfumes or colognes while participating.
– Since many people have allergies to pet hair and dander, please be mindful of wearing clothing that is as free of these as possible, so as not to cause an allergic reaction in others.
– Eating is not permitted in group (this includes mints, gum, etc), as it can be distracting to you and fellow group members.

SUBSTANCE USE POLICY

If you are in substance abuse recovery, you must have at least 1 year of continuous sobriety in order to attend.  It is also required that all non-recovering participants abstain from alcohol and non-prescribed substances for the duration of this training, as well as the 48 hours prior to workshop commencement.  This will aid in being present for the personal work and learning.
