Thu, Sep 18 - Thu, May 28 2026. Release and Empower: A Group Program for Women Moving Through Change, see website
A group program for women-identifying folks who spend much of their time in helping roles, whether that be as psychotherapists, healthcare practitioners, mothers, elder caregivers, or the friend that everyone goes to in need. This is a good fit for self-aware women who may be experiencing: Burnout and compassion fatigue People pleasing, impostor syndrome, and perfectionism Motherhood challenges Changes in relationship and/or career Anxiety and/or a harsh inner critic Health challenges or hormonal transitions Trouble with saying no and setting boundaries This isn't an interpersonal processing group or a "follow the leader" sort of program--this is you being supported in doing life your way. We use expressive writing and movement practice as well as sharing to help you release the pressure and find your own answers. It's a supported structure with a lot of creative freedom. Many therapists and moms attend, but anyone who relates to being a helper is welcome. “Julia really gets the need we have as caregivers and sensitive folks for SPACE- to show up as we are and be 100% with our own experience, rather than tending to the needs of anyone else.“ "I am setting clear boundaries in a way I have never done before. Having this carved out, intentional time has made such a difference!" "No one is trying to fix me in this group, and it’s amazing how liberating that is." "The whole process is cathartic and sacred."

Coaching in a New Key: An Applied Existential Approach

Sat, Oct 18 - Sat, Dec 19 2026

Betty Cannon and Robyn Chauvin, BPI - 303 494 0393

This class offers a thorough 60-hour certification training in Applied Existential Coaching. At the request of students who took our first class in 2022, we have added much more experiential work and breakout practice so that you leave with a thorough grounding in basic principles and interventions. If you have found that you like working online and would like to add coaching to your repertoire, this may be the class for you. Unlike therapy, which is limited by state laws, coaching can be done across state lines or actually anywhere in the world. But it is important to know the difference and to have training in coaching if you are going to do this legally and ethically. The training we are offering is an in-depth approach to existential coaching. We will talk about principles and techniques, demonstrate them, show examples from videotapes, introduce experiential exercises, and ask you to practice the approach with other students. The workshop offers a thorough grounding in theory and fundamental interventions along with a taste of what existential relational and group coaching look like. Both coaches and therapists are welcome. Participants completing the training will receive a 60-hour Certificate of Study in Applied Existential Coaching.
