SUMMARY:EHNW Lunch-n-Learn with Chris Wilson\, PsyD
DESCRIPTION:Integrating a Humanistic/Existential Frame with the Science of Threat/Trauma\n\n\n\nFacilitated by: Chris Wilson\, PsyD\n\n\n\nDate: 8/09/2024Time: Friday 1om–2:30pm Pacific Daylight Savings TimeFee: $10 Hybrid Event via Zoom and in Portland\, Oregon at LiveTrue Counseling  \n\n\n\nThis presentation will share some of the science related to how our brains understand threat and try to predict it in the environment. We’ll discuss the concept of threat to status\, and how trauma intensifies our experience of threat. We’ll wrap up by looking at how we can integrate the science into a humanistic/existential frame\, specifically using the concept of negativity bias as an example. \n\n\n\nBio:Chris Wilson\, PsyD\, is a retired psychologist who studied for many years with Bob Edelstein\, LMFT\, MFT\, and worked therapeutically from a humanistic/existential frame. He also worked forensically doing evaluations for the State of Oregon\, ran groups for abusive men\, and spent many years working with inmates at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility. Six years ago\, he transitioned from clinical and forensic practice into a consultant and trainer for non-profit and criminal justice organizations\, focusing on how to understand the impact of psychological trauma on the brain. He was part of an effort to train every detective in the NYPD\, has trained judges from coast to coast\, and works locally with our non-profits serving those challenged with houselessness. \n\n\n\nRegistration and More Info >> \n\n\n\nPlease contact EHNW about this event  here via their contact form.

SUMMARY:EHNW: A Drama Informed Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by: Joaquin Lopez\, LPC\n\n\n\nEHNW in Portland Hybrid Lunch-n-Learn Event  \n\n\n\nDate: Friday 6/14/2024Time: 1pm–2:30pm Pacific Daylight Savings TimeFee: $10 General Hybrid Event in Portland\, Oregon \n\n\n\nWhat insights can we glean from adopting a drama-informed perspective on life\, enriching the human experience and our understanding of the world? How can a drama-informed perspective influence motivation and the ability to think creatively about healing? Above all\, how do we motivate clients to embody themselves and become the lead actors in their dramas\, work through the circumstances they have been given\, and move beyond their fate?Reflecting on his experiences and observations as an artist and mental health counselor\, Joaquin Lopez\, LPC\, will present ideas that construct what he coins as a drama-informed perspective toward life. This perspective is garnered from years of producing storytelling events about local community members and noticing common themes in their trials and tribulations. He explores the power of storytelling as a tool rooted in existential-humanistic theory for both community and personal healing. Joaquin will draw from real life examples in working with adults in and outside counseling office. \n\n\n\nBio:Joaquin Lopez is a mental health counselor whose therapeutic frame is Jungian-existential. He serves on the Existential-Humanistic Northwest Professional Organization (EHNW) board and\, in the fall\, will begin seminar at the Carl Jung Institute of Santa Fe. Selected to serve as a Creative Laureate for the City of Portland for 2021-2026\, he advocates for arts & culture\, and creativity. As a performing artist\, he blends music\, storytelling\, and language to inspire community engagement and healing. He has over twenty years of small business experience in the service industry. Joaquin managed professional leadership programs for grassroots and established Latino leaders at the non-profit organization Latino Network. He continues to serve as a leadership consultant for non-profit organizations. His private practice is in Theel House\, located in the historic district of Beaverton\, Oregon. \n\n\n\nRegistration & More Info >> \n\n\n\nPlease contact EHNW about this event  here via their contact form.

SUMMARY:Experiential Democracy Dialogue with Kirk Schneider
DESCRIPTION:Experiential Democracy Dialogue: Existential Approach to Conflict Mediation\n\n\n\nDate and time: Wed\, 22 May 2024 10:00 – 13:00 Pacific [GMT-7]\n\n\n\nHosted and Presented by: OnlineEvents.co.uk and The Existential Movement \n\n\n\nLink to Register: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/experiential-democracy-dialogue-existential-approach-to-conflict-mediation-tickets-900466789407 \n\n\n\nPre purchase access to the recording\, if you cannot make the event. \n\n\n\nJoin The Existential Movement in partnership with OnlineEvents.co.uk for a transformative workshop led by Dr. Kirk Schneider\, a prominent figure in existential-humanistic and existential-integrative psychology. In this session\, Dr. Schneider will unveil and demonstrate the Experiential Democracy Dialogue\, a pioneering method he has developed to counteract the deep-seated and perilous polarization affecting our societies and the wider world. This polarization is not only widespread but also represents one of the most pressing social and psychological challenges of our time. Dr. Schneider advocates for an urgent\, depth\, and existentially oriented approach to healing. \n\n\n\nThe Experiential Democracy Dialogue is designed to facilitate meaningful conversations between individuals who find themselves on opposing sides of ideological divides. During the workshop\, Dr. Schneider will introduce participants to his innovative approach\, followed by a live demonstration featuring two individuals representing differing perspectives on a current issue. Participants will then have the opportunity to engage in the dialogue themselves\, working in pairs to explore the method under Dr. Schneider’s guidance. The workshop will conclude with a group discussion\, allowing for reflection and shared insights. \n\n\n\nThis workshop aims not to spark debate but to foster a process of re-humanization\, encouraging us to view our ideological “opponents” with more of a sense of discovery than presumption. By doing so\, we hope to increase the chances of finding actionable common ground or\, at the very least\, expand our ability to coexist peacefully and respectfully. Whether you’re a professional in conflict mediation\, a student of psychology\, or simply someone interested in contributing to societal healing\, this workshop offers valuable insights into bridging divides and enhancing communal harmony. \n\n\n\nPRE PURCHASE the RECORDING\n\n\n\nThis workshop will be recorded and you can use the ticket function to pre-purchase the recording before the event. This will be useful for colleagues who are not able to attend the event live and also for those who attend the event live and want to watch it again. \n\n\n\nZOOM\n\n\n\nThis workshop will be hosted on the Zoom meeting platform where we will use our cameras and microphones to interact with each other as a group. \n\n\n\nSELF-SELECT FEE\n\n\n\nThe self-select fee is a radical inclusion policy to open learning for all colleagues. The guide price for this event is £20.00\, however\, we appreciate that income varies greatly in different locations and circumstances. Please contribute what you can to help us maintain inclusive professional training. \n\n\n\nThe Movement\n\n\n\nThe Existential Movement exists to reduce interpersonal conflict and psychological suffering and to enhance well-being in the community. It is a non-religious\, non-political movement\, using existential ideas derived from existential philosophy\, psychotherapy\, and psychology to achieve these aims. Its motto is to ‘bring wisdom to the world’. \n\n\n\nThe Existential Movement is composed of international members who wish to pursue the aims as the Existential Movement of enhancing emotional and spiritual health and well-being within the communities of each nation. \n\n\n\nThe movement is administered by a steering committee that directs and coordinates the Movement’s international activities. This is located at the Existential Academy\, in London. The Existential Academy is a not-for-profit community interest company\, whose motto is to bring philosophy to the community. \n\n\n\nThe movement is supported and given advice by an international advisory board\, of 24 outstanding professionals in the field of existential psychology and psychotherapy. The board meets three times per year and had its first meeting on 6th May 2023\, in Athens\, at the third World Congress for Existential Therapy. \n\n\n\nThe first President of the Existential Movement is its founder\, Professor Emmy van Deurzen\, who is internationally known as an expert in this field.

SUMMARY:The Society of Humanistic Psychology 17th Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:University of Michigan in Ann Arbor  \n\n\n\nTheme: Old Saybrook 3\n\n\n\n“Old Saybrook 3” commemorates the 60th anniversary of the original Old Saybrook conference in 1964\, where humanistic psychology was formalized. It also serves as a follow-up to the “Old Saybrook 2” conference in 2000\, which aimed both to rekindle the Third Force vision of psychology articulated at “Old Saybrook 1” and to re-vision humanistic psychology for the new millennium. Now\, almost a quarter-century later\, to keep humanistic psychology relevant for new and future generations\, it is again time to recontextualize our movement in and for the 2020s. How can humanistic psychology actualize itself today to meet the needs of a fast-paced\, distracted\, survival-focused\, experientially-avoidant\, interpersonally-isolated\, rating- and metric-centered\, systems-blind\, toxically-masculine\, xenophobic\, inequitized\, traumatized\, polarized\, technocratic\, post-truth\, post-pandemic society-in-transition? Paradoxically\, to accomplish that undertaking\, “Old Saybrook 3” also celebrates the wisdom of our elders and reminds us not to turn a blind eye to their rich and enriching intellectual and experiential contributions. How might we demonstrate that humanistic psychology is\, far from being a mere historical relic\, well-equipped in its core values and theory/philosophy\, pluralistic methods\, and robust\, decades-long canon of research/scholarship to resonate with the 2020s zeitgeist? And\, with that\, what can we do to promote an I-Thou way of being in an increasingly I-It world? We look forward to being with you in March! \n\n\n\n— Dr. Andrew Bland\, Division 32 President (2023-2024) \n\n\n\nKeynote Speakers \n\n\n\nHeidi M. Levitt\, PhD\, University of Massachusetts\, Boston  \n\n\n\nMichael Alcee\, PhD\, Private Practice and Manhattan School of Music \n\n\n\nRegistration Fees\n\n\n\nFull Conference: $250-$255; Single Day: $100Division 32 Community Dinner Saturday Eve: Register for dinner by March 11.

SUMMARY:Update: EHNW's "Supervision: An Existential Therapy Perspective" Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Postponed as of February 15\, 2024: This event has been canceled on March 9th due to unforeseen circumstances. Please check back with EHNW in Portland for updates as this workshop is intended to be rescheduled. New date still to be announced. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by: Professor Ernesto Spinelli \n\n\n\nVirtual Event:  EHNW will send Zoom login after registration \n\n\n\nThe supervision of therapists by their colleagues has become one of the primary requirements for continuing professional practice. Just about every Professional Body concerned with therapy emphasizes the importance of supervision and\, typically\, specifies that its members must engage in it under regular and ongoing approved conditions. Although existential therapy is no different in that its members adhere to these governances\, the very concept of supervision\, and in particular what its meaning and purpose might be understood to be\, has remained an ongoing source of debate. \n\n\n\nIn many ways\, the issues surrounding supervision have provided existential therapists with a focus through which to address the wider debate as to what constitutes and defines existential therapy and what may be distinctive about its practice. \n\n\n\nThis workshop explores what is distinctive about an existential approach to supervision. In attempting to do so\, it will address several key aspects in the practice of existential therapy that can be transposed to supervision from an existential therapy perspective. As well as lecture and discussion\, participants will have opportunity to take part in a live demonstration of this approach to supervision. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nProfessor Ernesto Spinelli was Chair of the Society for Existential Analysis (SEA) between 1993 and 1999 and is a Life Member of the Society. His writings\, lectures and seminars focus on the application of existential phenomenology to the arenas of therapy\, psychology\, and executive coaching. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS) as well as an APECS accredited executive coach and coaching supervisor. In 1999\, Ernesto was awarded a Personal Chair as Professor of psychotherapy\, counselling and counselling psychology. In 2000\, he was the Recipient of BPS Division of Counselling Psychology Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Profession. And in 2019\, Ernesto received the BPS Award for Distinguished Contribution to Practice. His most recent book\, Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World\, 2nd edition (Sage\, 2015) has been widely praised as a major contribution to the advancement of existential theory and practice. His previous books include: The Interpreted World: an introduction to phenomenological psychology\, 2nd ed (Sage\, 2005); Demystifying Therapy (PCCS\, 2006); Tales of Un-knowing (PCCS\, 2006); and The Mirror and The Hammer: challenging therapeutic orthodoxies (Sage\, 2001). Living up to the existential dictum that life is absurd\, Ernesto is also the author of an on-going series of Private Eye novels\, the third of which\, Everything Has A Price\, was published in 2023. \n\n\n\nPlease contact EHNW about this event here via their contact form.

SUMMARY:EHNW Lunch-n-Learn: "Future Minds: A Tapestry of Existentialism and Mental Well-being in the Age of AI"
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Christy Hey\, LPC & Arnaud Verstuyf \n\n\n\nIn-Person & Virtual Hybrid Event:  Live True Counseling 333 SW Taylor Street\, Suite 200 Portland\, OR 97204 and via Zoom \n\n\n\nThe advent of artificial intelligence (AI) brings both promise and peril to the core tenets of existential humanism. While AI has the potential to enhance individual freedom\, automate mundane tasks\, and contribute to a more interconnected society\, concerns arise regarding privacy\, autonomy\, and the erosion of personal responsibility. The collaboration between humans and AI may lead to meaningful synergies or\, if mishandled\, to a sense of alienation. Ethical considerations in mental health practices\, existential anxieties\, and the cultural shifts driven by AI further complicate the relationship between providers and clients. Navigating these complexities requires a careful balance between technological progress and the preservation of existing values and methodologies. In this presentation\, Arnaud will give a basic overview of AI history and where it might be heading; Christy will discuss the current and potential uses and ethical concerns in the field of mental health. \n\n\n\nBefore the ‘Lunch & Learn’\, we recommend watching\, or re-watching\, the movie “Her” from 2013 as a potential – but positive – example of humanity’s relationship with evolving artificial intelligence. \n\n\n\nBios (two speakers): \n\n\n\nChristy Hey\, LPC\, started her career in St. Louis\, Missouri\, as a music therapist working with young people with developmental disabilities and mental health diagnoses. Upon arriving in Oregon in 2009\, she worked at the Oregon State Hospital then Chemawa Indian School before starting her private practice in 2019. Her current practice as a therapist and coach primarily supports neurodivergent adults\, who are often exploring their relationship with social and technological worlds. Through her emerging identity as a digital nomad\, her interests lie at the intersection of culture\, mental health and technology\, traveling and working abroad as much as possible with Arnaud and their two dogs\, Otter and Ellie. \n\n\n\nArnaud Verstuyf’s varied career is marked by both public service and private sector success. He began his professional journey in the private sector\, supporting small businesses\, while pursuing and obtaining a Software Engineering degree from KU Leuven\, Belgium. Following that\, he moved into public service\, providing technological expertise on a pilot project for cultural communication. The next challenge taken was as a consultant\, offering the opportunity to navigate many large companies dealing with supply chain management and production. After meeting and subsequently marrying Christy\, he moved to another continent\, on a journey of personal flexibility while exploring his own community and business ventures. \n\n\n\nPlease contact EHNW about this event here via their contact form.

SUMMARY:Recommended: EHNW's August Lunch-n-Learn w/ Scott Kiser\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:The Way of Redemptive Suffering: Transforming Adversity into Growth \n\n\n\nPresenter: Scott Kiser\, PhD Adjunct Faculty\, Saybrook University\, Assc. Faculty\, University of Arizona Global Campus and Assc. Faculty\, Clackamas Community College \n\n\n\nThis Lunch and Learn will be hybrid \n\n\n\nRegistration ends at 10am on Friday\, August 11th \n\n\n\nThis presentation focuses on the experience of “redemptive suffering\,” that is\, psychological pain and suffering in response to adversity that become constructively transformative and growth-producing rather than only destructive. Through exploring the core dynamics of intentionality and meaning-creation\, participants will see how painful life experiences can be transformed into empowering sources of growth by reinterpreting their essential meaning for the suffering individual. Specifically\, this involves a critical choice to experience painful adversity in terms of an actively-thriving gratitude rather than a sense of passive victimization. The particular adverse experience of clinical depression will be utilized as a concrete example and guiding metaphor\, based on Scott’s own personal experience and doctoral dissertation research. The way of redemptive suffering will\, as well\, be presented as a necessary\, expanded and deepened model of resilience\, extending beyond a prevailing concern with merely reestablishing pre-crisis level functioning. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nScott Kiser holds an MA in Marriage & Family Therapy from George Fox University and a PhD in Psychology from Saybrook University. He teaches psychology at Clackamas Community College\, psychology/doctoral research courses and chair’s dissertation committees at the University of Arizona Global Campus\, and foundational/qualitative research courses at Saybrook University. Scott’s areas of academic expertise and specialization are existential-humanistic psychology/psychotherapy and qualitative (case study and phenomenological) research. He has worked as a professional psychotherapist in community mental health agencies as well as private practice\, involving extensive experience practicing individual\, group\, and family therapy. Scott is also a former EHNW board member.

IH is most challenging when individuals are confronted with existential threats. EH involves holding cherished beliefs regarding the meaning of suffering and life and death loosely enough to revise in light of evidence. \n\n\n\nThis salon discusses the need for existential humility\, which is the ability to confront the realities of life such as death and suffering\, and how to cultivate this humility. It examines the benefits and costs of holding beliefs humbly and explores potential moderating variables such as personality traits and spiritual practices. \n\n\n\nPresenter Bios\n\n\n\nPam Barela\, MA holds a Master of Art Degree in Human Services Counseling with an emphasis on Marriage and Families and completed first doctoral degree\, Clinical Sexology\, in the spring of 2023. Her dissertation discusses the intersection of religion and sexual shame\, purity culture\, and gender roles. In her free time\, Pam loves cooking\, camping\, hiking\, traveling\, and a good Netflix Binge. She is a wife\, mother\, and dog-mom. \n\n\n\nPam currently serves on the following boards: Existential-Humanistic Northwest\, Mormon Mental Health\, Clatsop Community Action (CCA) \n\n\n\nBob Edelstein\, LMFT\, MFT\, is an Existential-Humanistic psychotherapist with over fifty years of experience. He provides consultation\, supervision\, workshops\, and trainings for clinicians and students. He is a blogger for Psychology Today and has published articles on the existential-humanistic perspective\, including a chapter entitled Frames\, Attitudes\, and Skills of an Existential Humanistic Psychotherapist in the Handbook of Humanistic Psychology 2nd Edition.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn – Change Through Movement
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by EHNW Affiliate\, Lavinia Magliocco\, MS CRC NCC(supervised by Sarah Williams\, LMFT) \n\n\n\nFriday\, June 9th\, from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM \n\n\n\nVirtual by Zoom: (webinar details provided after registration) \n\n\n\nAll Tickets: $10.00 | Affiliates attend FREE \n\n\n\nAldous Huxley is quoted as saying “Consciousness is only possible through change. Change is only possible through movement.” Modern dance pioneer Martha Graham said “The body says what words cannot.” As clinicians\, how may we bring our and our clients’ attention to their fundamental human agency through movement? What interventions may open possibility towards greater freedom from pain\, fixation\, and limited choices? \n\n\n\nIn this presentation Lavinia will introduce fundamental principles of human movement\, teach experientally guided cues that can help us as clinicians\, as well as clients\, to uncover blockages and restore (and re-story) available potential. Lavinia will present a case history demonstrating how restoring movement to a client’s feet and thorax resulted in the cessation of chronic pain which allowed the client to stop using analgesics and anxiolytics. \n\n\n\nBio: \n\n\n\nLavinia is a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate recently graduated from Portland State University’s Clinical Rehabilitation counseling program. Prior to becoming a mental health clinician\, she worked as a therapeutic Pilates teacher and movement therapist at her studio\, Equipoise ~ enlightened exercise LLC. Since 1998\, she worked primarily with clients who had neurological challenges like CP\, CMT\, and Guillaume-Barre. She has a Master of Science in Clinical Rehabiitation Counseling and BA in English Literature and Creative Writing. Lavinia was also a professional ballet dancer at New York’s Metropolitan Opera Ballet (1992-1998) and a professional writer at the Cincinnati Enquirer and Antenna Magazine. Currently she works at Three Firs Counseling LLC where she brings her somatic and movement experience to her clients who have trauma\, chronic illness\, and disability. As a Registered Associated in the State of Oregon\, Lavinia practices under the supervision of Sarah Williams\, LMFT. \n\n\n\nThe Existential Humanistic perspective has been a part of her life since she can remember. Lavinia’s father was a psychiatrist at the Menninger clinic in Topeka\, KS. Her life-long interest in ontology\, human experience and potential\, and spiritual practices led her to study mutiple disciplines ranging from mystic Christianity\, Kabbalah\, Taosim (she studied QiGong in China)\, Advaita Vedanta\, and Tantra Shaivism (similar to Dzogchen Buddhism). Her article on her work with a sex offender was published in the ACA Counseling Today January 2023 edition: https://ct.counseling.org/2023/01/unexpected-lessons-and-connections-in-sex-offender-counseling/ \n\n\n\nLavinia is an avid Star Trek fan\, loves our magnificent planet and all its life forms\, enjoys playing keyboard\, writing\, cooking\, reading\, and traveling with her partner. \n\n\n\nPlease refer questions to Bob Edelstein at bob@bobedelstein.com.

There is no such thing as aseparate environment or a separate individual. [Or as Winnicott famously once said: “There isno such thing as a baby\, only a baby and a someone”] At every moment a person is part of afield. His behavior and development is a function of this field. \n\n\n\nIn this professional salon we’ll look at the following: \n\n\n\n\nthe organism as a whole\, which differs from the parts\n\n\n\nthe organism-environment field\, or person-world unity\n\n\n\nthe here and now focus\n\n\n\nthe significance of spontaneous non-verbal gestures\n\n\n\nthe therapy situation as a genuine encounter of human to human and not with a “case”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The world is the natural setting of\, and field for all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions.Truth does not inhabit only the inner man\, or more accurately\, there is no inner man\, man is inthe world\, and only in the world does he know himself.” \n\nMaurice Merleau-Ponty\n\n\n\nFacilitator\n\n\n\nCarol Swanson\, LCSW\, ACSW has been in private practice in Portland\, OR for over forty years.She cofounded the Portland Gestalt Therapy Training Institute and has trained therapists inEurope\, Australia and the US. Her current interests are studying philosophical resources forhumanistic clinicians. Although semi-retired\, clinical work is still rewarding work along withliving outdoors in her garden\, on her bike\, her kayak or on the trails. \n\n\n\nCo-Facilitator\n\n\n\nBob Edelstein\, LMFT\, MFT\, is an Existential-Humanistic psychotherapist with over fifty years of experience.

SUMMARY:EHNW Lunch-n-Learn: Fostering Authenticity
DESCRIPTION:Fostering Authenticity: Character Analytic and Somatic Interventionsin Contemporary Orgone (Reichian) Therapy \n\n\n\nFriday\, February 10th\, from 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM \n\n\n\nVirtual by Zoom: (webinar details provided after registration) \n\n\n\nAll Tickets: $10.00 | Affiliates attend FREERegister here!  \n\n\n\nAll humanistic and existentially based therapies share the understanding that many of the symptoms that clients bring to therapy stem from their inability to live an authentic life.  The fostering of authenticity is therefore one of their primary goals.  Contemporary Orgone (Reichian) Therapy\, a humanistic/existential therapeutic approach based upon the integration of Wilhelm Reich’s character analytic and bioenergetic therapy\, gestalt therapy\, person-centered therapy and self psychology\,  approaches this endeavor through addressing the cognitive\, emotional\, behavioral and somatic defenses that prevent one from making full contact with their authenticity.  It is this interlacing of defenses which Reich termed armor.  Armor is a literal somatic and psychological wall which\, though formed as a means of protection in the process of development\, unfortunately prevents one from making direct contact with self and other and thus prevents one from living an authentic life.  In this talk Daniel will present the basic theoretical and therapeutic principals which guide Contemporary (Orgone) Reichian Therapy practice and through a case presentation portray some steps taken on the therapeutic road to authenticity.   \n\n\n\nDaniel Schiff\, PhD is a psychologist in private practice in Portland\, Oregon with 45 years of clinical experience in the practice of somatic psychotherapy from a Reichian/Gestalt perspective.  He was first exposed to the work of Wilhelm Reich\, Fritz Perls and Carl Rogers in the early 1970’s and has incorporated Reich’s character analytic and somatic focus\, gestalt therapy’s ‘here and now’ process orientation\, and the humanistic/existential approach in his clinical work and teaching ever since. Formerly on the adjunct graduate faculty at Antioch University and Argosy University\, he currently teaches somatic psychology in Lewis and Clark’s graduate school of counseling.  As director of the Somatic Psychotherapy Training Institute-PNW he teaches an introductory course in somatic psychotherapy\, a four-year training program in Contemporary Orgone (Reichian) Therapy\, and provides clinical supervision for both therapists seeking licensure and licensed practitioners.

The cost of a “Friday-Only” ticket is $50. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE WORKSHOP:\n\n\n\nExistential-phenomenological approaches continue to attract more and more mental health professionals from diverse orientations to enliven their work with this experiential way of understanding the human experience of their clients. \n\n\n\nA wide-range of practitioners with different therapeutic orientations are exploring this approach as a way to reach their clients in a deeper way. At the same time\, its potential is sometimes not easily recognized\, and is even seen as a challenge to more “traditional” approaches. An existential-phenomenological approach is an invitation to more deeply understand the experience of another from an inter-relational stance that not only values\, but admires the mystery of persons as well as existence itself. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will explore the main themes of this existential-phenomenological approach in a way that is accessible and in close contact to our subjective experience. At its root\, this approach invites us to begin the journey from our own subjective experience. \n\n\n\nParticipants will also deepen our understanding to the varying levels of contact involved in this approach and gain a better understanding of the worldview\, attitudes\, and methods that makes up this approach. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will be of help for mental health therapists of any orientation that wish to widen their scope of more deeply understanding another person. It will also be helpful for seasoned as well as newer therapists that are looking to deepen their comprehension and application of the existential-phenomenological approach. \n\n\n\nWORKSHOP SCHEDULE\n\n\n\nDay 1: Friday\, October 7th\, 2022 6pm-9pm \n\n\n\nInspired by Gabriel Roth’s five rhythms\, on day one we will explore existence as being made of encounters\, relations and dialogues with the world\, as well as with ourselves and others. \n\n\n\nThis will consist of a reflection with movement accompanied by meaningful music and the energy generated by the attendees. \n\n\n\nThis will be an experiential work where attendees are invited to bring comfortable clothing to dance or move around the room. Please note that there is no obligation to participate in any particular way\, in the spirit of this approach\, honor your subjective experience as it unfolds. \n\n\n\nThis evening session available as stand alone module. \n\n\n\nDay 2: Saturday\, October 8th\, 2022 9am-5pm \n\n\n\nThis day will mainly consist of lecture from Dr. Martinez-Robles where he will integrate various experiential exercises and reflections conducted in small groups. \n\n\n\nThis day will also include a live therapy demonstration where Dr. Martinez-Robles and a volunteer will carry out a full therapy session from this existential-phenomenological perspective. \n\n\n\nDay 3: Sunday\, October 9th\, 9am-12pm \n\n\n\nIn our final day of this workshop\, Dr. Martinez-Robles will conclude the lecture portion and we’ll also focus on questions from the attendees. Question themes can be related to the theoretical\, professional applications\, and/or related to the previous days’ demonstration. Through the Q&A\, we hope to further deepen different aspects of this vibrant approach to being with another person.

SUMMARY:3 Key Frames\, Attitudes\, and Skills of Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by: Bob Edelstein\, LMFT\, Founder of EHNW and Former President \n\n\n\nThis presentation will define\, discuss\, and demonstrate these three key frames\, attitudes\, and skills of existential-humanistic psychotherapy. They are: \n\n\n\nBeing versus DoingBeing drives the therapy – not doing. Doing is secondary; it is the result of what emerges from being.Cultivation of the I-Thou RelationshipThe I-Thou relationship refers to the sacredness of the relationship\, experienced by both client and therapist\, that goes beyond any overt transaction.Deep Listening Deep listening is the ability to listen with a deeply attuned sensitivity to the clients’ experience.\n\n\n\nThese frames\, attitudes\, and skills can be applied to any modality to better enhance your support and engagement with your clients.

SUMMARY:EHNW July Salon on Internal Family System (IFS)
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Internal Family System concepts and interventions from an Existential-Humanistic perspective\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Via Zoom \n\n\n\nFacilitated by EHNW Affiliate\, Frank Canepa\, Professional Counselor Associate \n\n\n\nJoin EHNW for an informal discussion about Internal Family Systems and how this model relates to the E-H perspective. \n\n\n\nInternal Family Systems is a therapy model that conceptualizes all people as having an “inner family” made up of parts and the Self. These parts are considered full personalities\, not one dimensional characters\, that each have their own story and may need healing/unburdening. The “Self” is an inherent inner healer that does not get damaged in the same way as parts; it is resilient. We will discuss IFS concepts and interventions. \n\n\n\nMaterial to be discussed: \n\n\n\nWhat is Internal Family Systems?

SUMMARY:Radical Authenticity Lunch-n-Learn Hosted by EHNW
DESCRIPTION:Radical Authenticity with Ken Bradford\, PhD\n\n\n\nThis talk clarifies the nature of Inauthenticity and distinguishes between Psychological Authenticity: daring to live one’s own life rather than someone else’s by sourcing oneself from one’s true desires\, aversions and indifferences; and Radical Authenticity: which observes that even when we acknowledge and live true to our personal loves and hates\, we remain bound to those inclinations-compulsions. (This is the Buddha’s 2nd Noble Truth.) Beyond self-centered authentic presence is naked\, spontaneous\, non-self-centered presence. \n\n\n\nKen Bradford\, PhD is an author\, teacher and contemplative yogin integrating Buddhist\, Dzogchen and Existential thought and practice. Formerly\, he maintained a psychotherapy practice in the San Francisco Bay area and was Adjunct Professor at John F. Kennedy University and California Institute of Integral Studies. Publications include Opening Yourself: The Psychology and Yoga of Self-Liberation (2021); The I of the Other: Mindfulness-Based Diagnosis & the Question of Sanity (2013); and Listening from the Heart of Silence: Nondual Wisdom and Psychotherapy\, Vol. 2 (2007\, with John Prendergast); as well as numerous professional articles intertwining psychology and spirituality\, such as “Radical Authenticity.” Website: www.authenticpresence.net \n\n\n\nFacilitator: Ken Bradford\, Phd \n\n\n\nDate: Friday\, June 10\, 2022 \n\n\n\nTime: 1:00pm – 2:30pm\, Pacific Time via Zoom \n\n\n\nRegistration Fee: $10 \n\n\n\nPresentation Host: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) \n\n\n\nFind out More and Register With EHNW Here>> \n\n\n\nPlease Note: this event is not being hosted by EHI.

SUMMARY:Join Our Friend Ken Bradford for a Meditation Inquiry
DESCRIPTION:Effortless Presence: A Meditation-inquiry\n\n\n\nAn online meditation-dialogue Benefit attuning the mind to its innately free\, unfettered nature. \n\n\n\nThis contemplative hour or so is devoted to releasing mind-proliferating worries and despair into their unconditioned nature; in which nothing is lacking and whatever is happening – good\, bad or indifferent – is experienced as already being complete and perfect as it is. Within the lucidity of presence as such\, no effort to attain enhanced clarity\, compassion or delight in being is necessary or even desirable. What is necessary is to open ourself to the luminating nature of mind that is otherwise obscured by everyday mindfog. \n\n\n\nThis occasion will include an introduction\, guided practice and open dialogue. \n\n\n\nParticipation is by donation\, as you are so moved. Details on how to donate will be given with your registration confirmation and also during the meditation. \n\n\n\nAccess to the meditation is free with pre-registration.
