Add Nature to Your Nurture:
Turning Resistance into Resonance
Saturday April 9, 2011
9am - 5pm
In clinical practice, resistance is a natural part of the ebb and flow; however there are times when it can become a significant impediment - foreclosing on exploration, blocking forward movement, and interfering with our capacity for reverie and attunement. Learning to effectively manage resistance, in ourselves and our clients, is essential to quality clinical work.
In this small group experiential workshop we will use the horses' intuitive ability to mirror and reflect invaluable feedback about what is being "said" and what you may be missing in your communication both in and out of the office. And the coolest part? You won't have to wait until your next session to move from resistance into resonance!
Come and experience how shifting resistance into resonance can move ourselves, the client, and the work forward. This program is designed to offer mental health professionals an opportunity to:
* Bring more joy and resonance to your life and your practice - and have a good time while you are doing it.
* Participate in experiential exercises and discover how working with horses can quickly illuminate dynamics and provide immediate opportunities for growth and change.
* Increase capacity for self-refection and use it to increase your clinical effectiveness. This includes identifying ways in which past training, personal issues, or needs may influence your work with
*Process, through facilitated dialogue, increased self-awareness and ways of shifting resistance into resonance.
* Experience a day of learning and rejuvenation in a natural, healing setting.
All horse activities are conducted on the ground- there is no riding.

Using Embodied Mindfulness to Enhance Clinical Practice
Saturday January 29, 2011, 9 am - 4 pm,6 CEs
In clinical practice, our capacity for embodied mindfulness is an essential element of reverie and attunement. Yet, working with difficult and/or traumatized clients can strain our ability to be present and centered. By adding Nature to our Nurture we can enhance our embodied awareness and experience its benefits in our clinical work and in life.
In this small group experiential workshop we will use horses' intuitive ability to mirror and reflect their experience of us. Through their invaluable feedback about how congruent and aware we are, horses can enhance our effectiveness as clinicians.
Come and experience how embodied mindfulness can move ourselves, the client, and the work forward.
