This scientifically proven program\, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn\, PhD\, has been shown to reduce stress\, decrease chronic pain\, and increase personal well-being. \nThe next MBSR series will meet for 8 weeks on Monday evenings both in person and online from 6:30 – 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. Fall class dates are October 12 through November 30. \nEmail Brenda at ournewexperiences@gmail.com for more information. \nAbout the MBSR Course\nIn this 8-week MBSR course\, you’ll practice techniques and develop skills based on the latest neuroscience to effectively manage and reduce stress. Research findings indicate that when practiced regularly\, skills developed in this course can literally rewire the brain\, resulting in improved health and overall well-being. \nRoutinely living life on autopilot\, being unaware of how stressed out we are\, does not serve us well. Our body\, mind\, and soul pay an increasingly high price\, indicated by symptoms of compromised physical\, mental\, emotional\, and psychological health. \nScientifically-proven benefits of MBSR include:\n\n\nLowered stress levels \n\n\nReduced chronic pain (back pain\, headaches\, hypertension\, etc.) \n\n\nDecreased worry\, anxiety\, and depression \n\n\nFewer sleep problems \n\n\nImproved emotional regulation \n\n\nSharpened mental focus and enhanced attention \n\n\nImproved immune system functioning \n\n\nHelp with life-threatening medical illnesses \n\n\nMore satisfying relationships \n\n\nBetter ability to cope with grief and loss \n\n\nSupport for recovery from substance abuse \n\n\nIncreased joy\, resilience\, and compassion \n\n\nIn the MBSR course\, you will learn meditation practices to develop mindfulness\, also referred to as present-moment awareness.  Through instruction and daily practice\, you will develop the capacity to notice when you’re stressed out and learn skills to take better care of yourself\, minimize the negative effects of stress in the moment\, and experience greater well-being. \nThe MBSR class offers instruction in:\n\n\nmindfulness meditation (sitting and walking) \n\n\nmindfulness practices for daily life \n\n\nbody awareness \n\n\nmindful yoga \n\n\nself-reflective inquiry \n\n\n​You’ll be supported throughout the program to develop your own mindfulness practice to sustain you long after this class ends. \nMBSR Course Details\nSessions: This class consists of 8 class sessions\, a 6-hour retreat\, and daily home practices. Instruction materials for the class are emailed or sent via US Post. \nFEE & REGISTRATION\nTuition for the class is: \n$395 +tax and fees. \n$470 with CE +tax and fees. \nProfessionals can earn up to 26 Continuing Education Credits for an additional $75 CE Credits (therapists\, counselors\, social workers\, RNs\, CDPs\, NDs\, translators\, and WA court interpreters). \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

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.

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
