SUMMARY:Ethics of Simple Self-Care in Nature – Day 1
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nEthics of Simple Self-Care in Nature – Day 1\nPresented by: Dr. Brenda Butterfield\, EdD\, MSW\, LMHC \nWhen: Friday\, October 16\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live in person at the ONE Center (7400 Gallagher Cove Road NW\, Olympia\, WA 98502)\nLodging Information: If you’d like to come the night before or stay over on Friday night after the workshop\, you can explore the lodging options provided by the ONE Center here. For questions about lodging\, please email the ONE Center at ournewexperiences@gmail.com\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 6 Law & Ethics CEs | $199.00\nThis workshop is offered several times throughout 2026. All of the sessions are as follows:\n\n\nFriday\, April 24th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nFriday\, June 19th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nFriday\, August 14th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nFriday\, September 11th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nFriday\, October 16th\, 2026 MORE INFO >>>\n\n\nWe’re eager to welcome you to the beautiful ONE Center on the South Salish Sea for a day of simple self-care in nature. 2026 is our sixth year providing this monthly workshop to colleagues from WA\, OR\, MT\, and beyond. During this nature-based workshop\, you have full permission to slow down\, rest\, and tend to your own health and well-being WHILE earning ethics credits. \nAll codes of ethics have been revised to include the ethical imperative to practice self-care. These ethical guidelines give us permission to do just that through professional development. We’ll review ethical codes and explore research findings indicating how and why the therapist’s psychological health and well-being directly relate to treatment outcomes for clients.  Indeed\, how we show up matters. Therefore\, finding ways to practice caring for oneself is not only a personal responsibility and a gift to oneself\, but also an ethical obligation. \nThis is a unique retreat-style\, experiential workshop with invitations to practice simple self-care inspired by Japan’s shinrin-yoku. Brenda is a mindfulness-based therapist\, a certified Eco Therapist\, and a certified Forest Therapy Guide. She’s been teaching clients and colleagues how to lean into mindfulness in nature for health and well-being since founding The ONE Center in 2020. \nWith Brenda’s guidance\, we’ll walk short distances through the forest and by the sea\, sit spotting along the way while learning simple\, evidence-based self-care practices to use anytime\, anyplace.  Colleagues have come multiple times\, sharing they feel increasingly grounded and connected to their body\, mind\, and soul as the day unfolds.  This deep learning is inspiring and supports ethical work by encouraging the continued use of simple self-care practices at home and at work. When our nervous system is settled\, we are emotionally regulated and can help our clients feel more embodied\, at ease\, and connected to others\, too. \nWithout ongoing self-care\, providing mental health care can deplete and exhaust us\, leading to burnout\, compassion fatigue\, and secondary vicarious trauma. Added stress from the global polycrisis (social\, political\, racial\, financial\, environmental\, etc.) can result in feeling overwhelmed\, isolated\, and hopeless. And yet\, we must show up to provide care for so many who are suffering. If this resonates with you\, know that you are not alone.  Each summer\, we find solace in a community of colleagues\, in nature\, bearing witness and tending to the pain for healing. This is the mindful way.  We hope you come to ONE\, a sanctuary created specifically for those of us providing care to others\, for a gentle landing and a warm welcome.  We got your back… we’re here for you. \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES\nIn this workshop\, you will \n\nExplore experientially a variety of ways to practice simple self-care\nLearn about ethical implications for practicing self-care\nUnderstand research correlating clinician health and well-being to treatment outcomes for clients\nAssess your current overall health and well-being\nAssess your professional quality of life\nIdentify lifestyle choices that are supportive or undermine health and well-being\nDevelop a realistic action plan for improved health and well-being\n\nWhat attendees of this workshop are saying: \n“The beautiful time in nature and SLOWING DOWN! Thank you for curating a safe and nourishing environment to just BE.” \n“Where to start! I enjoyed the land! The atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. The experiential approach. The connection to ethics. The opportunities to connect with ourselves and peers. The worksheets for reflection and self-assessment. I loved everything!” \n“The beautiful and nurturing environment allowed everyone to feel safe and be vulnerable. I admire the bravery and ability of the other attendees to open up and share their experiences\, struggles\, and challenges. It helps us all feel less alone.” \n“This workshop – and the ONE Center – is truly a gift that every mental health professional should give themselves! Hands down\, this is the best continuing education workshop I’ve ever attended.” \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

SUMMARY:Neuroscience\, Trauma\, and the Power of Love: Working with the Body\, Intersubjectivity\, and the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Limited Spots Available! \nRegister now to save your spot!\nNeuroscience\, Trauma\, and the Power of Love: Working with the Body\, Intersubjectivity\, and the Soul\nPresented by: Trip Quillman\, ASCW\nWhen: Friday\, October 16th – Saturday\, October 17th\, 2026 | 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live\, In-Person workshop at Shoreline Center\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 12 CEs | $395.00 ***see below for payment options\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nIn these challenging times\, the demands on therapists and caregivers are especially intense. As we learn to connect with\, listen to\, and help each other bear the anxiety of what is unfolding in our world\, we can become more effective in supporting the awakening and healing emerging within individuals\, relationships\, and communities. \nAs healing professionals\, how can we cultivate deeper ways of being together—to “lend our nervous systems” to our clients in ways that regulate and nourish both client and therapist? How can we more precisely attune to the intelligence and wisdom available within ourselves and our relationships? \nThe central premise of this continuing education workshop is that\, at any moment\, we are either attuning or judging ourselves\, our clients\, or the world around us. The workshop will focus on developing our capacity to shift from judgment toward deeper presence and attunement. \nDrawing on contemporary neuroscience and mystical traditions\, we will explore what might be called “energy literacy”—practices and tools for deepening our relationship with ourselves and our clients. We will develop skills to ground\, open\, and tune our own nervous systems in ways that support regulation\, safety\, and therapeutic connection. \nPresence is the capacity to access a deep internal receptivity from which intuition\, compassion\, and creativity can emerge. Attunement is the ability to focus that presence\, allowing us to receive information about ourselves and others and deepen the therapeutic process. These skills are central to many contemplative and mystical traditions and are increasingly compatible with perspectives from interpersonal neuroscience. The metaphor of the therapist as a radio receiver or tuner illustrates this approach to embodied\, rather than purely cognitive\, empathy. \nFrom a somatic\, intersubjective\, right-brain perspective\, barriers to connection often arise from the sensations\, emotions\, and thoughts we repeatedly turn away from. When therapists learn to host rather than repress\, dissociate from\, or identify with what arises in the body\, heart\, and mind\, we can help create a context of safety in which previously contracted or defended experience can soften and transform. \nAs these barriers soften\, our identification with judgment and separateness may also loosen. We may gain greater access to what different traditions have called the witness\, essence\, Jung’s Capital “S” Self\, Being\, Consciousness\, or the Quaker’s “still small voice within.” From this intersubjective space\, insight\, compassion\, and wisdom can emerge in ways that are surprising and deeply healing for both client and therapist. \nApproximately 25% of the workshop will be didactic and 75% experiential. Participants will learn and practice skills of presence and attunement with their own and one another’s physical\, emotional\, and mental experience through paired exercises\, small groups\, and\, for those who choose\, full-group practices. \nThe workshop is limited to 20 participants. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\n\nParticipants will gain a cognitive and experiential understanding of the differences between judging and attuning to what arises re: their own and their patients’ thoughts\, emotions\, and sensations and deepen their capacities to “host” (vs. identify with) the intrapsychic and interpersonal field.\nParticipants will begin to develop a clear\, concrete\, experiential understanding of the concepts of presence and attunement and of their foundational importance in healing.\nParticipants will learn specific practices to ground and attune their own nervous systems and to deepen and refine their capacities to attune to their patients.\nParticipants will learn about the theory and treatment implications of Porges’ Polyvagal theory and its resonance with multiple mystical perspectives.\nParticipants will learn concrete\, powerful tools to help regulate their own and their patients’ autonomic nervous systems\, especially when working with hyper- or hypo-arousal.\nParticipants will have an opportunity to discuss and consider the clinical implications of differentiating personality from essence\, ego from soul\, heart from brain\, and the importance of love re: their own and their patients’ healing processes.\n\n***Payment Options:\nCascadia Training values quality continuing education that is accessible\, inclusive\, and without barriers to all. We never want the cost of our workshops to be a barrier to attending one of our workshops\, particularly our multi-session workshops. \nWe offer several options to make our workshops cost-inclusive: payment plans\, a limited number of full and partial scholarships\, discounts for students\, and discounts for early professionals.
