Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind: A Year-Long, Experience-Rich Advanced Training in the Application of Intrapersonal Neurobiology
Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind: A Year-Long, Experience-Rich Advanced Training in the Application of Intrapersonal Neurobiology
Statement of need: At each meeting, we will address particular topics in ways that are designed to foster both right hemisphere and left hemisphere learning. There will also be the opportunity for in-depth consultation about your relationship with your clients and how it may touch your own inner experience. We will be accompanied by sand, miniatures, art, and embodied work, as well as reflection, contemplation, and conversation to cultivate embodiment of IPNB and support personal healing experiences. We will create Listening Partnerships for the year, a process that provides a unique depth of support. People are reporting that this way of exploring fosters a rich felt sense experience for making IPNB their own. This deepening awareness of ourselves and our clients can foster our capacity for nonjudgmental presence and build a foundation of solid understanding that leads to broad compassion.
