Education
"To educate is the practice of freedom." -bell hooks
Clinical workshops offer more than knowledge—they create space for meaningful learning through connection, reflection, and active engagement. We've partnered with a variety of groups, including psychotherapy practices, government agencies, medical offices, and community organizations, tailoring each workshop to your group's unique needs, goals, and context. Whether you're focused on professional development, capacity-building, or strengthening internal resources, our workshops are designed to foster connection, empower learning, and promote growth.
​When you choose a workshop with us, you can expect:
​
-
Relational approach: An intentionally cultivated space grounded in respect, support, and genuine connection is key to our workshops. We recognize that people learn best when they feel heard and valued. This approach not only enhances learning but also fosters meaningful integration into participants' personal and professional lives.
-
Structure meets interaction: Our workshops blend structured, didactic teaching with interactive elements like discussion and experiential activities. This balance encourages deeper engagement and supports participants to apply concepts to real-world situations in a way that feels relevant and practical.
-
Safety and inclusivity: We believe that how we learn is just as important as what we learn. By working together to foster a safe, inclusive environment, we make space for open discussion, critical thinking, and a shared commitment to improving practice.
How do our workshops work?
​
To meet your group's logistical needs, we offer both in-person workshops for dynamic, face-to-face engagement, and virtual workshops for increased flexibility. Workshops typically run between 3 and 6 hours, depending on the topic depth and breadth.
