Participants will become aware of the legal and ethical considerations necessary to provide this option for client sessions. Participants will learn the key concepts and significant benefits of providing therapy sessions outdoors\, in a natural setting\, complemented by using expressive arts modalities. The presenter will also teach how these approaches connect through a polyvagal lens. \nParticipants will learn what it takes to provide ethical\, impactful\, confident\, and competent therapy for clients in an outdoor natural setting. The presenter will teach participants how to include expressive arts modalities and somatic awareness techniques in nature therapy\, as these techniques will be interwoven throughout this daylong experience. Experientials will be facilitated to aid participants in their own embodied experience of a session in nature. Participants will leave this course ethically and legally prepared to facilitate an outdoor\, nature-based therapy session\, understanding the client appropriateness (what clients are a good fit for this type of therapy)\, location considerations (parks\, trails\, beaches\, weather conditions\, parking\, etcetera)\, and critical skills needed for facilitating a helpful walk-and-talk session outdoors (multidimensional awareness\, various approaches to facilitation\, and safety considerations). Participants will leave this experiential workshop feeling confident and inspired to offer a more integrated clinical approach than they thought possible! \nOBJECTIVES:\n\n Consider legal\, ethical\, and documentation implications for doing nature-based therapy outdoors.\n Identify important considerations for specific populations.\n Understand the legal and ethical considerations of practicing nature-based therapy in a walk-and-talk session.\n Describe differences among ecotherapy\, nature-based\, adventure-based\, and wilderness therapies.\n Identify key concepts of ecotherapy and nature-based therapy\n Assess who to work with and when\, where to go and why\, and what to expect and consider in various regions and environments when using nature-based therapy.\n Understand the therapist’s identity in nature-based versus ecotherapy practices.\n Introduce common types of nature-based approaches into walk-and-talk therapy sessions.\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Tarot and Therapy: Intuition and Metaphor
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nTarot and Therapy: Intuition and Metaphor\nPresented by: Rebecca Bloom\, ATR-BC\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, August 7th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credits: CEs: 6 CEs – 3 Law & Ethics CEs | $199.00\, which includes $174.00 tuition plus $25.00 for Ephemera Art Supply Packs Created by Rebecca Bloom Especially for Cascadia Training Registrants. Art supply packs will be mailed to registrants in advance of the workshop.\nWhy is Tarot so popular right now? Are your clients coming in talking about the card they pulled before the session and you have no idea what that means? Have you used tarot for years for your own well being and would love to use it with mental health clients but not sure how? \nMost clients come into therapy saying that they do not have access to their intuition and are not sure how to trust what the right choices are to make in their lives. Using a single card pulled from a tarot deck\, and exploring the client’s meaning of the card\, clients can begin to feel connected to their own sense of self\, clients can find new ways to safely explore difficult experiences and find ways to test out feeling grounded again. \nStarting with the Jungian concepts of Archetypes we will look at how the collective sense of self represents over these twelve types of being.  Then we will explore the history and uses of tarot. These seventy-eight cards have been used for hundreds of years. Using the Rider-Waite-Smith deck\, from 1909\, as a starting place we will look at many of the decks available today and why people turn to them every day or when times get difficult. \nWe will explore intuition and how to trust our own sense of knowing. In this hands-on workshop\, you will make five of your own cards.  Exploring the major arcana\, and the suits of cups\, pentacles\, swords and wands we will learn the journeys of each of these sets. \nObjectives:\n\nLearn archetypes of Jung and Tarot.\nLearn why the creative process soothes the body and the mind.\nFind materials you will be comfortable using with your clients.\nUse art making for your own self-care.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
