SUMMARY:EHNW's Fall Workshop with Theopia Jackson: Presence Under Pressure
DESCRIPTION:Presence Under Pressure: Existential-Humanistic and Multicultural Practice in Trauma-Informed Care\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker: Theopia Jackson\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nCost: $50 – $195 \n\n\n\nIn-person & Virtual \n\n\n\nIn-person at George Fox UniversityPortland Center12753 SW 68th Ave.Portland\, OR 97223 \n\n\n\nOnline Via Zoom \n\n\n\nMaintaining an existential-humanistic stance when a client’s safety may be at risk requires balancing rigorous legal duties with deep phenomenological presence\, and few situations test that balance more severely than those in which the law asks the clinician to act. Clinicians and supervisors must cultivate a high capacity for “presence” and “holding space\,” allowing them to sit with the existential dread\, powerlessness\, and terror (the person of the therapist) that such cases evoke without prematurely rushing to clinical detachment or intellectualization. This tension between the humanistic commitment to the client as the primary expert in their own healing and the mandates of the institutions within which clinicians practice is not particular to any population; it arises wherever a practitioner sits with suffering inside a system. \n\n\n\nDrawing from an existential-humanistic\, multicultural\, trauma-informed framework\, this interactive full-day workshop with Theopia R. Jackson\, Ph.D.\, will utilize critical discourse\, vignettes\, experientials\, and videos to engage participants in expanding their conceptualization and treatment when safety concerns arise\, in addressing the clinician’s vicarious trauma as an existential encounter with suffering\, and in synthesizing philosophical depth\, cultural humility\, and trauma science into actionable clinical practice. \n\n\n\nCase material will draw on potential child abuse situations\, among the most demanding contexts in which these questions present themselves\, through the skills\, the stance\, and the ethical reasoning developed over the day translate directly to work with adults\, adolescents\, couples\, and families across settings. Practitioners at every stage of career will find value\, with particular relevance for clinicians-in-training\, early career professionals\, and those who supervise them. \n\n\n\nAbout Theopia Jackson\, Ph.D. \n\n\n\nTheopia Jackson\, Ph.D.\, is a licensed clinical psychologist who received her master’s degree in clinical psychology from Howard University\, Washington\, DC\, and her doctorate from the Wright Institute in Berkeley\, California.  Dr. Jackson has held several leadership roles in higher education and is the immediate past Chair of the Department of Humanistic Clinical Psychology degree program at Saybrook University in Pasadena\, California.

The E-H approach is based on core ways of being and working with clients that help facilitate greater awareness\, greater sense of choice\, increased agency and adaptiveness and a deeper connection to self and others – all in the service of healing and growing. There are core capacities and skills an E-H therapist uses to help clients effectively explore and work through their existential predicaments so they can more fully access what deeply matters to them. \n\n\n\n Topics covered include: \n\n\n\n\nThe cultivation of presence as both the ground of therapy and one of its primary objectives\n\n\n\nThe focus on the “living moment” in working with the “here-and-now” experience of clients – staying with what presents itself phenomenologically rather than employing theoretical interventions\n\n\n\nThe differentiation between primary\, direct experience and secondary\, interpretive experience – and the emphasis on working with phenomenological experience\n\n\n\nThe meaning-making process and the formation of the Self-and-World Construct – helping client and therapist understand identity construction and de-construction\n\n\n\nHow to work with the client’s ways of being in the world and how to utilize the therapist-client relationship to help shift unhelpful ways of being\n\n\n\nHow to identify and work through clients’ inner battles in order to support their longings to emerge\, and feel more choice-ful and psychospiritually whole\n\n\n\nIntegrating and embodying your theoretical beliefs and authentic sense of self in your work as a therapist\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWho is this training for? \n\n\n\nThis training is ideal for those who have not yet had any intensive training in E-H therapy and does not require any didactic preparation. The workshop is also an excellent refresher for those who have had prior training and are seeking reinforcement of what they’ve learned. \n\n\n\nAm I eligible as a practitioner? \n\n\n\nWe offer this to licensed and pre/licensed professionals who work in clinical therapeutic settings\, no matter the modality.

SUMMARY:Scott Gibbs at EHNW-Toward the Turning: Rethinking the meaning of 9/11\, the clashof civilizations\, and a postmodern world
DESCRIPTION:EHNW Online Lunch-n-Learn \n\n\n\nToward the Turning: Identity\, Groundlessness\, and the Roots of Group Conflict\n\n\n\nFacilitated by: Scott Gibbs\, LMFT\n\n\n\nDate: Friday\, September 11th\, 2026Time: 1pm–2:30 pm Pacific TimeFee: $0-20 \n\n\n\nOnline Only: via ZoomRegister HereHost: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) \n\n\n\nWhat if the deepest engine of group conflict is not fanaticism or tribalism\, but a mistake in how we see ourselves and our “worlds”? \n\n\n\nFalling on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and in the year of America’s 250th anniversary\, Scott Gibbs draws from his new book\, Toward the Turning: Rethinking the meaning of 9/11\, the clash of civilizations\, and a postmodern world\, in a quest to find the deeper source of group conflict. Using 9/11 and the “War on Terror” as a touchstone\, examined through an existential lens\, he will explore the dynamics of identity—national\, religious\, political—and identification\, and discuss how our sense of self narrows\, hardens\, and intensifies\, particularly under threat\, and how we try to make our “worlds” follow suit; how groups become locked in self-reinforcing “deadly dances” feeding off and into these self and social extremes; and how these dynamics ultimately rest on a misapprehension.  \n\n\n\nThe talk invites participants to consider what becomes possible when “who we are” and our corresponding “worlds” are understood not as fixed and given\, but as lived\, constructed\, and vulnerable. Said differently\, what becomes possible when groundlessness is met and accepted rather than denied\, cast as a problem\, or even pathologized? The presentation offers an existential-humanistic way of seeing group tension differently and makes a case for openness to and tolerance of groundlessness as the path to greater collective tolerance. Twenty-five years after 9/11\, and in a country—indeed\, a world—deeply divided\, that case is as urgent as ever. \n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator \n\n\n\nScott Gibbs is a psychotherapist in private practice\, working in the existential-humanistic and psychodynamic traditions\, and serves on the board of the Existential-Humanistic Institute. His earlier article\, published in the Journal of Humanistic Psychology\, trained an existential lens on Islamism and Islamic thought more broadly\, and laid the groundwork for his book Toward the Turning. Before becoming a clinician\, he spent years working in private equity. He holds degrees from Princeton and Northwestern\, and writes “The Existential Moment\,” a monthly column on applied existential thought for The Existential-Humanistic Institute’s blog.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions? Please note that this is hosted by our friends at Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) in Portland. For any questions\, contact them at event-host@ehnwpdx.org. \n\n\n\nEHNW Vision Statement: Existential-Humanistic NorthWest is here to impact the world through our commitment to and passion for existential-humanistic values of authenticity\, integrity\, responsibility\, inter-connectedness\, inclusion\, and awe.

SUMMARY:Online Reading Group with Kirk Schneider\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:First of a Series of 4 Reading The Vibrant Center: A New Consciousness for Our Broken Age \n\n\n\nParenting and Education Re-visioned: A Vibrant Centered Approach\n\n\n\nFacilitated by: Kirk Schneider\, PhD\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday\, September 3\, 2026Time: 10AM – 11:30AM Pacific Time | 6PM – 7:30 PM (BST)Fee: Pay What You Can for Live Access the Guide Price is £20.00; Recording Access is separate at £9.99 \n\n\n\nOnline Live Access via Zoom & Recorded for Later ViewingHosted by: UK Online Events \n\n\n\nRegistration >> \n\n\n\nThe series opens with the chapters closest to home: parenting and education. Kirk explores the “grace points” in family life\, the small openings where awe\, rather than anxiety\, can take root\, and asks what it really means to raise children who are present\, open\, and able to think critically without losing their sense of wonder. In the classroom\, he turns to what he calls an “experiential democracy dialogue”: a way of teaching that trusts young people with complexity rather than shielding them from it. He’ll offer a brief introduction to these ideas before opening the floor for a conversation open to parents\, educators\, therapists\, and anyone raising or shaping the next generation. \n\n\n\nIn The Vibrant Center: A New Consciousness for Our Broken Age\, Kirk makes an urgent case: that the extremism and polarisation fracturing our politics\, our workplaces and our closest relationships can’t be healed from the top down alone. It has to be built from the ground up\, in how we parent\, how we teach\, how we work\, worship\, and govern. Wendy Smith\, author of Both/And Thinking\, has called it ‘one of the most important calls to awareness I have encountered in years.’ Rather than a call to a mundane middle ground\, Kirk’s ‘vibrant center’ is dynamic and alive to complexity: a practical\, hopeful vision for shifting from a fear-based world to an awe-based one. \n\n\n\nThis autumn\, Kirk joins UK Online Events for a four-part online reading group to explore that vision together. Across four sessions\, spanning parenting and education\, work and spirituality\, government and politics\, and a closing vision of an awe-based world\, Kirk offers a brief framing of each part of the book before opening the floor to discussion and questions. Although it is recommended\, there is no requirement to have read the book in advance\, and no need to attend every session: each stands alone\, though together they trace the full arc of his argument. Sessions run fortnightly on Thursdays at 6pm UK / 10am Pacific\, and are open to the public on a pay-what-you-can basis\, with a recording ticket also available for anyone who can’t join live. \n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator \n\n\n\nKirk J. Schneider\, Ph.D. (USA) is a leading spokesperson for existential-humanistic and existential-integrative psychology\, an adjunct faculty member at Saybrook University and formerly Teachers College\, Columbia University\, and a cofounder and current president of the award-winning Existential-Humanistic Institute. Dr. Schneider is the author/co-author of 16 books\, including his latest The Vibrant Center: A New Consciousness for Our Broken Age.

SUMMARY:The Vibrant Center Online Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:A note from author\, Kirk Schneider\, EHI’s President: \n\n\n\n“I am delighted to announce that my latest book The Vibrant Center: A New Consciousness for Our Broken Age has just published and is now available at Amazon [https://shorturl.at/Q1ICW]\, University Professors Press\, and other outlets.  \n\n\n\nHere is a recent comment on the book by musician and Humanistic therapist Joe Vanderhoff at Goodreads: “An absolutely seminal text for our times! Kirk Schneider boldly faces the anxiety provoking questions of our culture and what we can do about it. I was especially moved by the conclusion!” \n\n\n\nThere will also be a book launch for The Vibrant Center sponsored by Online Events with panelists Emmy Van Deurzen\, Alfried Langle\, Nathaniel Granger\, and Nisha Gupta asking questions about the book along with an audience Q & A on July 6th\, from 10:30am-12pm\, Pacific Standard Time. Here is the link to register: https://app.onlinevents.co.uk/events/oe-74495406 \, and I hope you can join us. \n\n\n\nWarm Regards\, \n\n\n\nKirk Schneider \n\n\n\nPS: For those interested\, here is a summary of the book along with a link to a recent podcast featuring the book: In brief: the vibrant center is a call for a dynamic presence-based approach to life aimed at stemming the hate and destructiveness that is tearing our world apart. It is also a call for those of us in the helping professions to unite\, along with the critical mass of people in our society who are sick and tired of the present state of our world. In this context\, I provide practical\, available strategies to carry out these aims.Finally\, here is a link to a “Through Conversations” Podcast where I discuss the book at some length: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s01zk3HKUc \n\n\n\nWarm Regards\, \n\n\n\nKirk Schneider

SUMMARY:EHNW Lunch n Learn
DESCRIPTION:The Body’s Wisdom: Somatic Pathways to Presence\n\n\n\nFacilitated by: Jenny Daugherty\, LPC LMHC\n\n\n\nDate: Friday\, June12th\, 2026Time: 1pm–2:30 pm Pacific TimeFee: $0-20 \n\n\n\nOnline: via ZoomRegistrationHost: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) \n\n\n\nExistential-Humanistic therapy places presence at the center of healing and connection. We aim to inhabit that presence in our work—and we also know there are moments when it’s harder to access or sustain\, both with our clients and in our own lives beyond the therapy room. \n\n\n\nThis experiential session is designed to increase your access to presence in real time through somatic awareness—supporting more reliable regulation\, deeper attunement\, and greater relational impact in your clinical work. Through guided practice\, you’ll engage the lived body as a steady\, responsive resource—strengthening your work with clients and naturally extending into the relationships you value most. \n\n\n\nDesigned for clinicians at all stages\, this work builds on what you already know while inviting a deeper trust in your body’s innate wisdom. This embodied presence increases clinical effectiveness and enhances how you engage\, respond\, and stay connected across the full range of your relationships. ”  \n\n\n\nAbout the FacilitatorJenny Daugherty is a psychotherapist and coach with over 20 years of experience helping people create meaningful change in their relationships. Her work bridges Existential-Humanistic therapy and somatic practice\, with a focus on cultivating presence as a lived\, embodied experience. She is the creator of the Self in Relationship program\, where she teaches a practical\, relational approach to lasting transformation. Jenny is also a founding board member of EHNW and served on the board for many years. \n\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Recommended: EHNW's May Professional Salong
DESCRIPTION:Sitting in the ‘Not- Knowing’: Uncertainty as Clinical Practice\n\n\n\nCo-facilitated by: Carol Swanson LCSW\, ACSW\, & Sofia Elias\, MA\n\n\n\nDate: Saturday\, May 16th\, 2026Time: 10 am–12:00 pm Pacific TimeFee: $0-20 | Free for EHNW Affiliates & $20 for General \n\n\n\nOnline: via ZoomHost: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) \n\n\n\nIn this salon\, participants explore the role of uncertainty in therapy – not as something to eliminate\, but as something to tolerate\, and to work with. “What does it ask of us to stay present when we don’t yet know what’s happening? What capacities are required to hold that space without rushing to closure? And how might our willingness to remain in ‘Not-Knowing’ deepen the therapeutic process?” \n\n\n\nThe facilitators will begin with a few framing thoughts\, with most of our time together devoted to conversation and experiential engagement. \n\n\n\nThe facilitators are excited about being open and curious with everyone as participants explore this topic together!  \n\n\n\nAbout the FacilitatorsCarol 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 in Europe\, Australia\, and the US. Her current interests are studying philosophical resources for humanistic clinicians.

SUMMARY:EHNW's March Online Lunch n Learn
DESCRIPTION:Focusing on Process is Key to Effective Existential-Humanistic Therapy\n\n\n\nPresented by: Bob Edelstein\, LMFT\n\n\n\nDate: Friday\, March 20th\, 2026Time: 1 pm–2:30 pm Pacific TimeFee: $0-20  \n\n\n\nOnline: via ZoomHost: Our Friends at Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) in Portland\, OR \n\n\n\nProcess is how the client expresses themselves in a session. This reveals how the client lives in the present moment. Through focusing on the client’s process\, the client can expand and modify their present identity to discover more of who they are and who they want to become. This is fundamental to effective Existential-Humanistic therapy. \n\n\n\nThrough lecture\, demonstration\, and Q&A\, participants will gain an understanding of the importance of focusing on intrapsychic and interpersonal processes and see how they can apply working with process with their clients. \n\n\n\nAbout the PresenterBob Edelstein\, LMFT\, is an Existential-Humanistic psychotherapist with over fifty years of experience.

SUMMARY:EHI Salon: The Many Faces of Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Developed & Facilitated by: Sonja Saltman\, EHI Core Instructor and Joshua Diliberto\, EHI Teaching Assistant \n\n\n\nDate: Thursday\, February 26\, 2026 \n\n\n\nTime: 11 am – 1 pm Pacific Time (2pm-4 pm ET; 7pm-9pm UTC) \n\n\n\nOnline: via Zoom. Link access is sent via your registration email. \n\n\n\nFormat: Group Discussion\, demonstration\, small group\, or dyad engagement. This is not intended to teach specific skills like our Core Skills workshop\, but there will be exposure to E-H skills used in the demos. \n\n\n\nCameras On Salon: We offer experiential humanistic engagement and ask that people who enroll attend with their cameras on. You do not have to engage\, but we do ask you to have your camera on. \n\n\n\nFee: $25. We do not want a lack of funds to be an issue to your engagement. Please reach out to Michelle via program@ehinstitute.org to get a code for a $10 economic inequality or hardship registration. For anyone\, no judgment. Michelle will assist you! \n\n\n\nContinuing the Experiential Salons\n\n\n\nOn February 26\, EHI is hosting a two-hour virtual community space for exploring The Many Faces of Resistance. We will spend the initial hour identifying the types of resistance and then demonstrate how to work with one or two of them\, if anybody has an example they want to bring to us. There will be a group discussion\, a practical demonstration\, and we will stay flexible to follow emergent wishes from the group. \n\n\n\nEHI is excited to continue the series of experiential salons into the new year. The intention for these salons is to honor EHI’s commitment to experiential learning as well as the time-honored group process of discussion and integration. \n\n\n\nAs we acknowledge that the word “salon” implies a more free-flowing structure this is a flexible outline that will be modified by Sonja and Josh to work with what is happening in the moment. \n\n\n\nConceptual frames for our topic\, “The Many Faces of Resistance .”Sonja and Josh offer conceptual definitions:We use energy to make good contact with our environment. Without obstacles\, this energetic effort results in positive outcomes. However\, if this effort does not get the desired returns\, we end up with a list of negative feelings\, anger\, confusion\, resentment\, disappointment\, etc. \n\n\n\nThere are five major channels of resistant interactions: \n\n\n\n\nIntrojection: Passively and indiscriminately absorbing the environment without explaining one’s preference.\n\n\n\nProjecting: Disowning parts of self and ascribing it to the other or the environment.\n\n\n\nRetroflection: Disowning parts of the environment by becoming a separate unit\, investing energy back to an intrapersonal system.\n\n\n\nDeflecting: Investing energy without focus\, getting little in return.\n\n\n\nConfluence: Means yielding energy to the environmental trend that carries little personal expenditure.\n\n\n\n\nThe identification of the various faces of resistance is the pathway to working with these resistances to restore good contact with the environment in which we live. In other words\, these various types of resistance are for the therapist to utilize with our clients to tap into the many distressing feelings evoked when the client does not have unimpeded access to what he/she wants\, such as anger\, confusion\, resentment\, disappointment\, etc. These feelings\, expressed in resistance\, reduce the possibilities of productive contactual interactions with the environment and express the powerlessness over the outcome of these interactions. Being fully present to these ways of avoiding the negative feelings when we are not getting what we want can restore ownership of these feelings without having to resist them. Awareness\, acknowledgment\, experiential exercises\, and acceptance can begin the necessary healing process. \n\n\n\nFor a little more background on resistance in E-H therapy\, Scott Gibbs has written two companion articles for this salon in our blog series\, The Existential Moment\, entitled “Why “Resistance” Matters—The Existential Cost and the Therapeutic Aim” and Working With Resistance. \n\n\n\nGeneral Outline (2 hours): \n\n\n\n\nWelcome and Introductions\n\n\n\nIntroducing The Many Faces of Resistance\n\n\n\nAttendees are invited to share their own perspective.\n\n\n\nDemo — We may ask for a volunteer “client” for a demo. Guiding the client to the inevitable next moment\, which can then unfold freely.\n\n\n\nExperiential Dyad Exercise\, or Deepened Group Discussion: We will decide in the moment as a group\n\n\n\nFinal Large Group Process\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWho is This Event For?Anyone with a foundation in clinical work or completing hours. MFTs\, social workers\, counselors\, psychologists\, psychiatrists\, nurse practitioners\, doctors\, Master’s or Doctoral students in internships\, and pre-licensed therapeutic professionals are all encouraged to attend!

SUMMARY:EHNW Workshop - Supervision: An Existential Therapy Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Supervision: An Existential Therapy Perspective\n\n\n\nKeynote Speaker: Professor Ernesto Spinelli\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nCost: $29 – $69 \n\n\n\nOnline via Zoom \n\n\n\nThis workshop explores what is distinctive about an existential approach to supervision\, including lecture\, discussion\, and live demos. \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\n\n3 CE’s (PENDING) are available from NASW. CE’s for this workshop cost $20 to handle the administrative fees and labor. See the Q&A below for more information.\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Facilitator: \n\n\n\nProfessor Ernesto Spinelli was Chair of the Society for Existential Analysis 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. \n\n\n\nIn 1999\, Ernesto was awarded a Personal Chair as Professor of Psychotherapy\, Counselling and Counselling Psychology. In 2000\, he was the Recipient of the 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 therapy 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). \n\n\n\nLiving up to the existential dictum that life is absurd\, Ernesto is also the author of an on-going series of Private Eye novels. His most recent standalone novel\, Moments – A Greek Island Tale\, will be published in 2025. \n\n\n\nPlease Note this workshop is hosted by Existential-Humanistic Northwest\, EHNW in Portland\, not EHI.

SUMMARY:EHNW's December Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Everyday Moments That Matter: Bringing Love and Meaning Back into Therapy \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Justin Rock\, LMFT\, LPCOnline via ZoomHost: EHNW (www.ehnwpdx.org)Cost: $0 – $20What if the most important moments in therapy are the ones that never make it into the notes? \n\n\n\nIn this Lunch and Learn\, Justin invites attendees to slow down and rediscover the ethical and transformative power of everyday moments that matter. Together\, participants will explore how existential love\, understood not as emotion but as a way of being with\, calls us into deeper responsibility\, presence\, and care. \n\n\n\nJustin will also invite participants to notice how they experience time in their work\, the difference between the clock time of our profession and the living time that opens when connection deepens. These shifts in time can guide both clinical practice and renewal in our own lives. \n\n\n\nThrough story\, reflection\, and brief experiential exercises\, participants will attend to the subtle hauntings that accompany our work: the clients who linger\, the futures we hope for\, and the love that quietly shapes everything we do and the world we live in. \n\n\n\nCome ready to pause\, reflect\, and reconnect with the living heart of therapy. Our world could use it. About the facilitator:Justin W. Rock\, LMFT\, LPC\, is a therapist\, AAMFT-approved supervisor\, educator\, and writer\, grounded in existential-humanistic and relational-ontological practice. He teaches in the Marriage\, Couple\, and Family Therapy and Art Therapy programs at Lewis & Clark College and maintains a private practice in Portland\, Oregon.Justin’s work explores ontological haunting\, kairos\, and existential love as ways of understanding presence and responsibility in both leadership and therapy. He is a past president of Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) and a doctoral student at Antioch University\, where his research examines knowledge generation\, epistemological justice\, and phenomenology as they shape relational healing and the tension between liberation and oppression. \n\n\n\nThis event is being hosted by our friends at Existential-Humanistic Northwest. For any questions\, contact EHNW at: event-host@ehnwpdx.org .with any questions. \n\n\n\nEHNW Vision Statement: Existential-Humanistic NorthWest is here to impact the world through our commitment to and passion for existential-humanistic values of authenticity\, integrity\, responsibility\, inter-connectedness\, inclusion\, and awe.

SUMMARY:Salon: The Path to Being in Contact With Others
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by: Sonja Saltman\, MFT – EHI Core Instructor\, and Joshua Diliberto\, LCHC\, NCC\, RYT- EHI Teaching Assistant\n\n\n\nLocation: Online Via Zoom \n\n\n\nHost: Existential-Humanistic Institute (EHI) \n\n\n\nRegistration: https://ehi.ticketspice.com/the-path-to-being-in-contact-with-others \n\n\n\nRegistration fee: $25 for General tickets. To promote effective discussion\, we are limiting registration to 30 people. We do not want cost to be an issue. We offer economic inequality/hardship tickets for $10. Please contact Michelle via our contact form to get a code for this ticket level. \n\n\n\nOn December 2nd\, EHI is hosting a two-hour virtual community space for exploring “The Path to Being in Contact with Others.” Personal\, relational\, and cosmological aspects are considered in group discussion\, practical demonstration\, possible dyad or small group engagement—we will be flexible to follow emergent wishes from the group. \n\n\n\nWe are excited to be continuing the series of experiential salons and to hold one more before the end of the year. The intention for these salons is to honor EHI’s commitment to experiential learning as well as the time honored group process of discussion and integration. \n\n\n\nGeneral Outline (2 hours):  \n\n\n\n● Welcome and Introductions \n\n\n\n● Conceptual frames for “The Path to Being in Contact with Others”:   Contact is vitalizing. Contactful experiences center around our senses and involve being touched. Seeing is being touched by light waves\, hearing happens via sound waves\, smelling and tasting is being touched by various substances. Talking and moving are also ways to create contact. Once contact has been fully established through one of these functions\, a sense of full engagement is the result.In contrast\, diminished contact can be the result of personal distancing such as inertia\, disinterest\, environmental hindrances\, or psychological overload causing distress. For example\, looking away to lessen the impact of potentially impactful experiences. A person can also selectively choose what to say or hear and ignore listening to more than just the words. \n\n\n\n● Attendees are invited to share their own perspective \n\n\n\n● Demo \n\n\n\n● Experiential Dyad Exercise or Deepened Group Discussion: We will decide in the moment as a group \n\n\n\n● Final Large Group Process \n\n\n\n As we acknowledge that the word “salon” implies a more free flowing structure this is a flexible outline that will be modified by Sonja andJosh to work with what is happening in the moment for the group.

SUMMARY:EHNW Student Salon
DESCRIPTION:How do you know you’re actually helping? \n\n\n\nFacilitated by: Clare Knudsen\, BS\, and Sara J. Smith\, MA\, LMHCA\n\n\n\nDate: Saturday November 15\, 2025Time: 10am–12pm Pacific TimeFee: $20 for non-affiliates. $15 for students. $0 for EHNW affiliates \n\n\n\nOnline: via ZoomHost: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) \n\n\n\nIf you’re a student or professional in the helping field\, chances are this question brings up some amount of anxiety in you. In a world run by insurance and the managed care framework\, we are primarily taught that the measure of helping clients lies in results. Did the client’s depression improve? Is the client maintaining sobriety? Have you achieved their initial goals?  \n\n\n\nIn this salon designed for those old and new to the field\, we’ll have a collective conversation about this and alternative understandings of what it means to actually “help” someone. Through an Existential-Humanistic framework\, we will consider aspects of helping that expand on and diverge from the dominant managed care model. These may include emphases on the values of presence\, process\, and the dialogical. In sum\, perhaps we will find that “help” is more complex and relationship-oriented than reductionistic and results-oriented.  \n\n\n\nAbout the FacilitatorsClare Knudsen is a student in Western Seminary’s CACREP-accredited master’s program in clinical mental health counseling\, currently interning at Charis Counseling in Vancouver\, WA. She received additional training in Existential-Humanistic psychotherapy core skills from the Existential-Humanistic Institute (EHI) and joined the board of EHNW in 2024. As a counselor and human\, she believes in the power of presence and safe connection. Outside of counseling\, she enjoys gardening\, spending time with people\, playing on the pottery wheel\, and learning new things.  \n\n\n\nSara J. Smith\, approaches therapy from an Existential-Humanistic framework\, emphasizing authenticity\, presence\, and meaning-making in the therapeutic relationship. Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, experiential methods\, and relational approaches\, Sara tailors therapy to each person with respect for their lived experience. With a background in Community Mental Health\, Sara is committed to social justice\, cultural humility\, and honoring the inherent worth of every individual. Outside of work\, Sara enjoys creative writing\, TTRPGs\, spending time with friends and family\, and engaging in a variety of creative activities. Sara holds an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Fox University.

The E-H approach is based on core ways of being and working with clients that help facilitate greater awareness\, greater sense of choice\, increased agency and adaptiveness and a deeper connection to self and others – all in the service of healing and growing. There are core capacities and skills an E-H therapist uses to help clients effectively explore and work through their existential predicaments so they can more fully access what deeply matters to them. \n\n\n\n Topics covered include: \n\n\n\n\nThe cultivation of presence as both the ground of therapy and one of its primary objectives\n\n\n\nThe focus on the “living moment” in working with the “here-and-now” experience of clients – staying with what presents itself phenomenologically rather than employing theoretical interventions\n\n\n\nThe differentiation between primary\, direct experience and secondary\, interpretive experience – and the emphasis on working with phenomenological experience\n\n\n\nThe meaning-making process and the formation of the Self-and-World Construct – helping client and therapist understand identity construction and de-construction\n\n\n\nHow to work with the client’s ways of being in the world and how to utilize the therapist-client relationship to help shift unhelpful ways of being\n\n\n\nHow to identify and work through clients’ inner battles in order to support their longings to emerge\, and feel more choice-ful and psychospiritually whole\n\n\n\nIntegrating and embodying your theoretical beliefs and authentic sense of self in your work as a therapist\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWho is this training for? \n\n\n\nThis training is ideal for those who have not yet had any intensive training in E-H therapy and does not require any didactic preparation.

SUMMARY:EHNW Fall Workshop: Kirk Schneider "Awakening Life-Enhancing Anxiety in our Profession and World: An Existential-Depth Approach"
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speaker: Kirk Schneider\, PhD \n\n\n\nHost: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW)Date/Time: Saturday\, October 4th\, 2025 | 9am-5pm Pacific Time Zone \n\n\n\nThis workshop will explore how anxiety is hitting the roof in our practices and world precisely because we so often fail to address the underlying or primal anxiety that fuels greater and more destructive anxiety. That which Kirk terms “life-enhancing anxiety\,” is a level of anxiety that enables us to live with and make the best of the depth and mystery of existence. Or to put it more concretely\, it fosters our capacity to live more on the edge of wonder and discovery rather than terror and overwhelm.  \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, Kirk will elaborate on the above and provide a series of exercises that can optimize our capacity for life-enhancing anxiety both in our practices and in the communities in which we live. He will also provide a demonstration of such optimization both at the level of therapy and bridge-building dialogue between people who are culturally or politically estranged from one another. Kirk will raise the huge problem of how to really “meet” each other and ourselves in the encounter with differences within ourselves and others\, and underscore “presence” as key.6 CEUs pendingHybrid EventVirtual via Zoom In-Person Location: George Fox University\, Portland\, OregonRegistration Options >>For further information contact Beth Swain at beth@ehnwpdx.org \n\n\n\nKirk J.

SUMMARY:EHNW Lunch-n-Learn: Psilocybin Sessions for Existential and Death Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Lindsey Lerner\, PhD \n\n\n\nPsilocybin Sessions for Existential and Death Anxiety\n\n\n\nDate: Friday\, September 12\, 2025Time: 1pm–2:30pm Pacific TimeFee: $20 for non-affiliates. $15 for students. $0 for EHNW affiliates \n\n\n\nOnline: via ZoomHost: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) \n\n\n\nParticipants will gain a better understanding of Oregon’s psilocybin service model\, including the roles of preparation\, administration sessions\, and integration\, while also appreciating the sacred indigenous roots of psilocybin usage- gaining a better understanding of how meaning\, presence\, and authenticity can guide this work. Through case examples\, participants will examine how a single psilocybin session can help a client move toward greater acceptance and aliveness\, and how\, as therapists\, we can ethically and skillfully provide support throughout this process. Participants will also reflect on our own views of life\, death\, and meaning-making. \n\n\n\nIf you are curious about the clinical use of psychedelics or interested in opening your mind to the use of new avenues of care to help with existential despair\, then Lindsey and EHNW invite you to join them for this workshop.  \n\n\n\nFrom Lindsey\, “I come to you humbly as a teacher\, but also as a lifelong student and hope that we can all learn from one another during this lunch and learn presentation.”” \n\n\n\nAbout the presenter: \n\n\n\nDr. Lindsey Lerner is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist\, Licensed Psilocybin Facilitator\, death doula\, and psychonaut working and residing in Portland\, Oregon. She has been working in mental health for the past 18 years and has been part of the psychedelic world for half her life. She has been curious about consciousness\, death and dying (and near death experiences)\, non-ordinary states\, existential thought and meanin-making since she was a young child\, and utilizes the intersection of her personal and professional experiences to guide her work and advocacy\, with a deep reverence for the originators of medicine\, for the medicine\, and the seekers of medicine. \n\n\n\nRegistration Deadline: Registration for EHNW’s event will close 24hrs before the event starts.

SUMMARY:Philosophical Resources for Clinicians
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by: Carol Swanson\, LCSW and Gestalt Practitioner\n\n\n\nDates: September 2025 – May 2026. Meeting first Friday each month. First Meeting is September 5thTime: 1:15pm–2:30pm Pacific TimeFee: $300 for for full seminar \n\n\n\nOnline: via ZoomHost: Existential-Humanistic Northwest (EHNW) \n\n\n\nThis is the 3rd year this seminar is being held. It is designed for psychotherapists\, psychoanalysts\, and clinicians who are interested in deepening their work through philosophical reflection and dialogue. We will explore ethical\, hermeneutic\, and humanistic dimensions of clinical practice by reading Donna Orange’s The Suffering Stranger: Hermeneutics for Everyday Clinical Practice.In this profound and accessible text\, Orange brings together five influential clinicians—Sándor Ferenczi\, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann\, Donald Winnicott\, Heinz Kohut\, and Bernard Brandchaft—and places them in conversation with two major philosophical figures: Hans-Georg Gadamer\, representing the hermeneutic tradition\, and Emmanuel Levinas\, with his radical ethics of responsibility to the Other.  \n\n\n\nIf you’re a clinician who finds yourself hungry for deeper reflection\, who enjoys rich conversation\, and who is curious about how philosophy can illuminate and support your practice—this seminar is for you. \n\n\n\nRegistration Page >> \n\n\n\nPlease contact EHNW about this event  here via their contact form.

SUMMARY:Salon: Our Life’s Narrative and Meaning Making
DESCRIPTION:With Sonja Saltman\, MFT – EHI Core Instructor\, and Joshua Diliberto\, LCHC\, NCC\, RYT- EHI Teaching Assistant\n\n\n\nDate/Time:  Tuesday\, August 26th\, 2025 at 11am-1pm Pacific | 2pm-4pm Eastern Location: Online Via Zoom Registration fee: $25 for General tickets. To promote effective discussion we are limiting registration to 30 people. We do not want cost to be an issue. We offer economic inequality/hardship tickets for $10. Please contact Michelle via the form to get a code for reduced ticket. Host: Existential-Humanistic Institute (EHI) \n\n\n\nOn August 26th\, EHI is hosting a two-hour virtual community space for exploring “Our Life’s Narrative and Meaning Making.” Personal\, relational\, and cosmological aspects are considered in group discussion\, practical demonstration\, possible dyad or small group engagement—we will be flexible to follow emergent wishes from the group. EHI is excited to be continuing the series of experiential salons and to hold one more before the EHI team takes their summer break. The intention for these salons is to honor EHI’s commitment to experiential learning as well as the time honored group process of discussion and integration. \n\n\n\nGeneral Outline (2 hours):  \n\n\n\n● Welcome Introduction and check-in  \n\n\n\n● Conceptual frames for Our Life’s Narrative and Meaning Making:  The concept of self calls for the person to transform the pronoun I into a recognition of essential qualities with which the person may be identified. Real self\, nuclear self\, narcissistic self and false self all refer to essential qualities of the person.They are representative of the person and this patterning process organizes personal characteristics into coherent clusters from which we form our inner sense of self. Based on this sense of inner self we form our “life stories”. They are the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves and that are sometimes small work of fictions we believe to be true. Any new experience then might be filtered through this belief about our coherent self\, might therefore be distorted.Meaning making can be the process of restructuring of the patterns of the self and thus confronting myths that were created by parts of ourselves. The person is invited to examine incoming new information without filtering it through already preexisting faulty assumptions to reemerge with a new sense of meaning for ourselves. \n\n\n\n● Demo on Our Life’s Narrative and Meaning Making  \n\n\n\n● Group Discussion\, Attendee/EHI Demo\, or Experiential Dyad Exercise: we will decide in the moment as a group \n\n\n\n● Final Large Group Process \n\n\n\n As we acknowledge that the word “salon” implies a more free flowing structure this is a flexible outline that will be modified by Sonja and Josh to work with what is happening in the moment.

SUMMARY:Recommend: EHNW Lunch-n-Learn
DESCRIPTION:Clinician Self Care – Suicide Prevention Awareness\n\n\n\nPresenter: Michaele P. Dunlap\, PsyD  \n\n\n\nJune 13\, from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm \n\n\n\nLocation: OnlineRegular Pricing: $20 for Professionals\, $15 for Students\, and $0 for EHNW affiliates \n\n\n\nDr Dunlap’s description:  \n\n\n\n“That human beings sometimes commit suicide is a fact. As mental health professionals we are required to understand suicide risks and do our best to avert such events as adeptly as we can.I hold acute awareness that medical and mental health clinicians are human and have a very high incidence of suicide and suicide ideation\, as do first responders trained to intervene in grim and often ghastly situations: firefighters\, police\, and EMTs. When I talk with colleagues about the fact that our own and our colleagues’ suicide risks need to be a topic for suicide prevention education\, the sort of response I get is\, “I’ve never heard a presentation on clinicians’ suicide risk.” I’ve been stumbling toward the development of a 3-hour CE presentation on this topic for 3 years and hope to have it online in September 2025. In this brief lunch and learn presentation\, I will offer a smattering of data and some personal stories\, share assertions reflected upon in-depth\, and offer resources.I would like to engage with you in a discussion about medical and mental health clinicians’ suicide risks and self-care strategies\, as well as those of others working in this muddy\, hazardous space.” \n\n\n\nPresenter Bio\n\n\n\nMichaele Dunlap\, PsyD\, completed college at Reed\, earned a master’s in counseling at Lewis & Clark and a Psy.D. at Pacific University. Michaele is licensed in Oregon and Washington and practice at Mentor Professional Corp. in NW Portland (503-227-2027).Michaele has been an organizer and presenter of professional continuing education events since 1989.
