12 Steps In Action Training – In Person Training

Whether you’ve never taken the steps, or you’ve taken them dozens of time, this 12-Step Psychodrama Workshop for Professionals can help you explore them in an entirely new way – through action.

By concretizing the experience of Trusting God, Cleaning House and Helping Others, participants will have the opportunity to learn how to help clients explore new insights and solutions, deepen their spiritual connection, and increase their clarity about practicing these principles in all their affairs.

Step work is typically done through writing and sharing with a sponsor.  In this workshop, group members will be invited to concretize the experience with the steps, move into action to explore the relationship with self and their Higher Power, and invited to create a new experience of the 12-Step Process.  Warm up exercises will be facilitated to assist group members to tune into which steps may be the most challenging to work through for their clients, and explore new ways of embracing the power of that step to enhance the recovery process (and/or provide that service to their clients, if they are not in recovery themselves.

This group is open to professionals only and can therefore serve as a safe, supportive place to explore their own healing and transformation without the concern of clients being present. Come join us!

Please note that if you are in substance abuse recovery, you must have at least 1 year of continuous recovery to attend, and that all participants must abstain from any mood and mind-altering substances for at least 48 hours prior to the training, and for the duration of it.

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.
