Tue, Sep 17 - Tue, Oct 29. Vital Mind Reset, 720-340-2710
Created by a psychiatrist, this program is designed to help people reclaim the health of their minds and bodies. It's a simple yet profound 44 day protocol. A lifestyle biohack with 3 basic elements: 1. A nutrition overhaul that serves to nourish your body and your nervous system. 2. Specific detox to help you let go of anything that’s getting in the way of your healing. 3. 3 minute daily meditations that bring you into a state of calm focus. You'll learn how to deeply nourish and nurture yourself. You'll send you body the signal of safety it needs to soften. And you will deal with the root causes of your symptoms. Radical healing comes in so many forms, but in order to access it, you have to establish a baseline of what it means to be present in a nourished and nurtured body. Unlike most holistic health diets and protocols, Vital Mind Reset has literally made medical history with a landmark, randomized, controlled clinical trial and 1000s of success stories that demonstrate the power of lifestyle interventions to significantly relieve symptoms and improve quality of life in as little as 44 days.https://www.vitallytransformed.com/vital-mind-reset For this first time, beta-run, I'm offering the program at a sliding scale. A special 50% off for any practitioners who want to try it before referring clients. I'd love to talk with you more about how the program can support your specific journey.

Coaching in a New Key: An Applied Existential Approach

Sat, Oct 18 2025 - 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.
