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 In Nature
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is an opportunity to tend to your own health and well-being AND earn CE credits!\nMindfulness In Nature\nPresented by: Dr. Brenda Butterfield\, EdD\, MSW\, LMHC \nWhen: Friday\, July 10th\, 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 CEs | $199.00\nCome to ONE to explore and experience mindfulness in nature. This workshop is the confluence of mindfulness\, cognitive-based therapy\, and eco therapy\, creating an innovative paradigm for providing holistic\, client-centered care to support both client and clinician well-being.  Come\, learn about the Mindfulness Movement that continues to change lives worldwide by helping people wake up and discover new ways to live a more peaceful\, joy-filled\, and healthier life. This movement includes different clinical Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI’s) effective for helping people suffer less from insomnia\, chronic pain\, depression\, anxiety\, substance abuse\, suicidality\, and other painful conditions. \nWhile psychological interventions are typically knowledge-based and directed toward client change\, irrespective of the clinician’s health and well-being\, Mindfulness-Based Interventions (MBI’s) are different.  They require clinicians practice what they preach and teach from their practice. So\, let’s practice mindfulness together at the beautiful ONE Center on the South Salish Sea just outside Olympia\, WA.  ONE is a beautiful and special place created specifically for health care providers. And this day of learning is designed to support your health and well-being WHILE earning continuing education credits too! This workshop is retreat-style\, nature-based\, and experiential. We’ll be walking slowly for short distances\, pausing along the way in the forest and by the sea. This will allow participants to experience mindfulness by slowing down\, pausing\, and resting in moments of presence and awareness.  This supports deep learning through connection with oneself\, colleagues\, and the natural world. \nYou’ll learn about the research-based benefits of integrating MBI’s in clinical practice and what makes them unique from other interventions. You’ll develop an understanding of the autonomic\, sympathetic\, and parasympathetic nervous system so you can explain to clients the mind/body relationship to chronic stress (CBT thinking errors)\, mental health conditions (depression/anxiety/panic attacks)\, somatic symptoms\, and behavior patterns. Together\, we’ll practice simple breathing techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system to facilitate somatic\, cognitive\, and emotional regulation. You’ll learn research-supported simple practices you can teach clients to support their health and well-being\, while simultaneously supporting yours.  In addition\, we’ll explore questions including: What is mindfulness? What does it mean to BE mindful and to practice mindfulness?  What’s the difference between mindfulness and meditation? What does research suggest about integrating mindfulness in mental health care? \nWe hope you come\, explore\, and experience mindfulness in nature through invitations from the beautiful land\, gardens\, forest\, and waters of the South Salish Sea at The ONE Center. \nWorkshop Objectives:\nIn this workshop\, you will \n\nUnderstand the benefits of integrating MBI’s in clinical practice and the necessity to teach from one’s lived experience.\nLearn what mindfulness is and how to develop a daily practice for yourself and 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.\nPractice various breathing techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and facilitate emotional regulation.\nLearn formal and informal mindfulness practices for therapeutic use with clients (guided meditation\, mindful walking\, walking meditation\, body scan\, mindful eating\, STOP method\, etc.)\nBecome familiar with how to explain the relationship between CBT thinking errors and mindfulness to provide more holistic care to clients.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n
