But whether we’ve been practicing for years or just starting to integrate the full meaning of our values into the clinical work\, it is essential to reconsider how our field’s ethical principles and standards apply to the actual daily practice with clients. This class will explore some of the most common ethical pitfalls ensnaring even the most experienced therapists. \nThis class is intended to be an entertaining guide to the ethical practice and professional responsibility we strive to attain. From a storytelling perspective\, we’ll look at some slippery slopes\, regrettable missteps\, and colossal blunders. Our focus will primarily be on ethical considerations within the therapeutic relationship – boundary crossings & violations\, professional competency & misconduct\, and the risks of compassion fatigue. \nThis full-day class is designed for practicing therapists with clients of all ages. The workshop will be conducted in a Zoom format. Teaching modalities will include clinical discussion\, lectures with many case examples\, video illustrations\, and small group and individual exercises. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nDefine professional competence and identify our scope of practice.\nDifferentiate between boundary crossings and violations.\nIdentify potential impacts of transference and countertransference on ethical practice.\nUtilize Ling & Hauck’s ETHICS model as an option for decision-making.\nExplore the ethical risks of compassion fatigue and strategies to mitigate them.\nDetermine resources and supports for ethical decision-making.\n\nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Regulation\, Self-Awareness\, and Emotional Clarity 🆕
DESCRIPTION:BRAND-NEW!\nLaw & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence CEs\nYoga Nidra for Nervous System Regulation\, Self-Awareness\, and Emotional Clarity\nThis continuing education workshop is accessible to all clinicians\, regardless of their yoga experience (or lack thereof). No previous yoga experience\, training\, or certification required. \nPresented by: Kylani St. Clair\, LMHC\, CCTP\, RYT\nWhen: Friday\, June 26th\, 2026 | 10:00 am – 1:00 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live via Zoom (you’ll receive the link the week of the workshop)\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 3 CEs (meets Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, or Cultural Competence requirements) | Cost: $99.00\nCONTINUING EDUCATION WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:\nNot all clients can “talk their way” into emotional regulation and awareness—so what do you do when words aren’t enough? When a client feels overwhelmed\, scattered\, and/or disconnected\, often the most effective intervention isn’t more verbal processing—it’s helping the nervous system slow down\, settle\, reset\, and recover. Yoga nidra best serves people who are highly anxious and experience chronic stress. \nThis engaging and experiential continuing education workshop\, developed and presented by Kylani St. Clair\, introduces a powerful\, accessible clinical tool for nervous system regulation\, healing\, and self-discovery: yoga nidra! \nYoga nidra is a form of guided deep meditation\, practiced lying down or seated\, that invites clients into a state of profound relaxation—without requiring movement or prior meditation experience. Often described as a state between wakefulness and sleep\, this practice creates space for both deep rest and meaningful insight to emerge simultaneously. \nThrough her decades of yoga practice as a student and eventually a seasoned yoga teacher\, Kylani discovered that several types of yoga – such as yoga nidra – complement her mental health practice and therapeutic techniques in powerful ways. She regularly weaves various forms of ygoa into counseling sessions with clients to support nervous system and emotional regulation\, movement medicine\, spiritual exploration\, and overall mind-body-spirit wellness\, thereby drastically improving client outcomes. Now she has developed this workshop to help you do the same! \nRooted in an ancient tradition\, this workshop will also acknowledge the cultural origins of yoga nidra and explore ways to integrate the practice into clinical work with cultural humility and respect. Through yoga nidra\, clients can gently access physical\, emotional\, cognitive\, and even spiritual awareness\, gaining clarity around their present experience\, values\, needs\, and boundaries while the nervous system actively settles and recovers. What often feels out of reach in a fully alert state can become more accessible through guided rest. \nParticipants in this workshop will not only learn about yoga nidra—they will practice it and experience its powerful effects firsthand! This training includes a guided practice incorporating progressive muscle relaxation\, breathwork\, imagery\, and intention-setting. Emphasis will be placed on the clinician’s role in facilitation\, including the intentional use of tone\, pacing\, and therapeutic presence to support co-regulation\, safety\, and engagement. Ethical considerations will be integrated throughout\, including informed consent\, scope of practice\, and supporting client autonomy and choice within the practice. \nBeyond the experience gained\, participants will develop practical\, immediately applicable skills for integrating yoga nidra into everyday clinical sessions. This includes learning how to assess when yoga nidra may be appropriate\, adapt the practice for different client needs\, and facilitate post-practice processing to deepen insight and therapeutic impact. \nParticipants will also learn how to create their own yoga nidra scripts tailored to their clients’ unique needs\, with attention to accessibility\, inclusivity\, and client-centered care. \nBy the end of this powerful and practical workshop\, clinicians will leave with a deeper understanding of how to use deep rest as a therapeutic intervention—and the confidence to begin using these tools with clients right away. \nCONTINUING EDUCATION WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\nWorkshop attendees will: \n\nLearn the principles of yoga nidra and its role in nervous system regulation\nParticipate first-hand in a yoga nidra practice\, relaxing your system during training\nPractice guiding clients in yoga nidra with tone\, pacing\, and more\nDevelop your own unique scripts for your clients’ needs\nLearn to facilitate post-practice processing with clients\nIdentify the ethics of introducing yoga nidra into the therapeutic session\, including the scope of practice\, competence with a new technique\, ensuring there is informed consent\, and understanding possible contraindications to including yoga in therapy sessions.\nConsider the cultural and spiritual implications for each client.\nLearn how to understand and build in the client’s unique belief systems into the therapeutic session.\n\nThis continuing education workshop is accessible to all clinicians\, regardless of their yoga experience (or lack thereof). No previous yoga experience\, training\, or certification required. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mindfulness on Land and Water with Sea Kayaking
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness on Land and Water with Sea Kayaking\nPresented by: Dr. Brenda Butterfield\, EdD\, MSW\, LMHC \nWhen: Friday\, June 26th\, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 7:30 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 CEs | $229.00\nThis workshop is also offered on Friday\, May 15th\, 2026. MORE INFO & TO REGISTER >>>\nThis workshop is for colleagues ready to experience new ways of learning and growing in real time by bringing the practice of mindfulness outdoors\, on land\, and on water.  You’re invited to come to ONE\, a nature-based retreat center for health care professionals on the beautiful South Salish Sea outside Olympia\, WA. \nDuring this professional development workshop\, we will learn about mindfulness through experiential exercises. The first part of the day is in a lovely flower-filled Courtyard Garden and focused on learning what mindfulness is\, how it’s different from meditation\, and reviewing research supporting this practice.  We’ll discuss how stress plays a key role in illness and disease (physical and mental) and how to prevent and reduce illness for yourself and clients\, too. \nWe’ll share simple\, evidence-based practices to increase awareness and empower you to recognize and reduce stress in daily life. You’ll learn breathwork to effectively pull the rip cord on your parasympathetic nervous system parachute to bring yourself back to center whenever and wherever stress shows up.  We’ll help you develop the language of mindfulness and explore ways of integrating these practices into your work with clients. \nAfter lunch\, participants will head to beautiful Gallagher Cove for sea kayaking 101 skills training. You’ll learn about mindful kayaking\, an invitation to practice non-striving on the water.  “There is no place to go\, and no place be. This is it\, right here\, right now.” On the water\, we’ll field-test our mindful skills for stress/anxiety management and practice responding in ways that regulate our mind\, emotions\, body\, and behavior. By paying attention in a particular way\, on purpose\, in the present moment\, we’ll learn how to navigate the stress and anxiety of “unpleasant” emotions\, body sensations\, and distorted thinking by choosing new ways of being through the practice of mindfulness.  This will be guided in a spirit of play to cultivate mindfulness by noticing the awe and wonder of beauty all around us in nature\, in community with colleagues. Ultimately\, noticing the pleasant is a mindful practice that serves us very well. \nWhether you’re an avid paddler or have no experience but feel called by the South Salish Sea\, join us in this learning and beauty. Gallagher Cove at The ONE Center is a shallow\, protected\, remarkably beautiful place for brand new paddlers. We’ll provide thorough safety instruction and all the equipment needed (sea kayak\, paddle\, and PDF).  You’re invited to arrive Thursday evening and/or stay over Friday night to camp on the land or stay in one of our cozy cabins to really drop in and enjoy mindfulness on land and water.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. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nIn this workshop\, you will: \n\nUnderstand the research-based benefits of integrating Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI) in clinical practice.\nLearn what mindfulness is and how to practice it for yourself so you can teach your clients.\nExplore the language\, concepts\, and phenomena of mindfulness.\nLearn about the mind/body relationship between chronic stress (CBT Thinking Errors) and health (depression/anxiety/panic attacks)\, enabling you to explain the Autonomic\, Sympathetic\, and Parasympathetic Nervous System to clients.\nLearn simple\, accessible practices to recognize stress responses and activate the parasympathetic nervous system.\nLearn emotional regulation skills through mindfulness practice.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
