SUMMARY:Introduction to Nature Therapy: More than a Walk in the Park
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs!\nIntroduction to Nature Therapy: More than a Walk in the Park\nPresented by: Becky Robbins\, MA\, LMHC\, CEAT\, CYT\, NBT \nWhen: Friday\, October 2\, 2026 | 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live\, In-Person event at Shoreline Center – at 12pm\, we will break for an hour lunch\, and will then reconvene at Hamlin Park\, located at 16006 15th Ave NE\, Shoreline\, WA\, at 1:00 for the remainder of the workshop\, which will be outdoors.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs – 2 Law & Ethics CEs | $199.00\nAll 2026 Sessions of This Workshop:\n\n\nFriday\, March 13th\, 2026 MORE INFO & REGISTER >>>\n\n\nFriday\, June 5th\, 2026 MORE INFO & REGISTER >>>\n\n\nFriday\, July 31st\, 2026 MORE INFO & REGISTER >>>\n\n\nFriday\, October 2nd\, 2026 MORE INFO & REGISTER >>>\n\n\nThis Introduction to Nature Therapy: More than a Walk in the Park workshop allows participants to become familiar with nature-based therapy\, specifically\, what is involved in a “walk-and-talk” therapy session outdoors in a natural setting. 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 into 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! \nWORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:\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\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.
