Registration closes on October 5th. \nWhere: Live in person at the ONE Center or live via Zoom. \nContinuing Education Credit Hours: Professionals can earn up to 26 Continuing Education Credits for an additional $75 (therapists\, counselors\, social workers\, RNs\, CDPs\, NDs\, translators\, and WA court interpreters) | Cost: $395.00 plus taxes & fees for NO CEs; $470.00 plus taxes & fees for 26 CEs\n“I’m ready to be done worrying and feeling stressed out all the time.” \n“I want more peace of mind.” \n“I suffer from chronic pain\, and I want to learn how to manage it better.” \nIf any of these sound familiar\, you may be ready for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). 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: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.
