Deep River groups have grown out of Abby Seixas's experience (and that of many others) that women in a circle of support are a source of untapped power. When this power is nurtured, it can fuel personal growth and help counter the effects of our speed-obsessed culture. This day-long training is offered to encourage the start of Deep River groups as places for women to learn how to separate themselves from the culture's drumbeat of go-go-go, and to make conscious choices about their own pace and priorities.
The day will include didactic training, discussion, experiential exercises, and some practice facilitation. Helping professionals in all fields are encouraged to attend (including but not limited to: psychologists, social workers, counselors, nurses, doctors, clergy, teachers, coaches). If your work falls outside of these categories and you would like to attend, please contact Abby to discuss participation.
Pre-registration required.
PLEASE NOTE: Attendance at the daylong Deep River workshop on November 5, or another Deep River group, is a prerequisite for this training.
12 Category I CE credits pending (for Nov. 5 and 6, six CE's each day) for LMHCs.
