News and networking opportunities for members of the BPI community. https://boulderpsych.com/nlf/ en-us Sun, 23 Aug 2026 02:54:41 MDT 240 https://robynchauvin.com BPI-NL-051336-20260823010000 Sun, 23 Aug 2026 01:00:00 MST The exploration of dreams can be a playful vehicle for transformation. A dream group has the advantage of amplifying your communication with dreams through consistent contact with your own dreams and the dreams of other group members. Often the dreams of others become part of the language of our own dreams, resulting in a deepening of relationships between group members.
The approach used in this group is derived from Applied Existential Psychotherapy (AEP), the method developed and taught at the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute. Instead of interpreting and analyzing your dreams, you will play the dream’s characters (every person and thing in the dream) as a way of allowing the dream to communicate its existential message. The basic assumption is that “every part of a dream is you.” And the dream is a vital communication from you to you. The ability to hear that communication becomes amplified and expanded in a dream group.
We will meet on the first Saturday of each month from 10am Mountain Time until 1pm, starting in March. Please feel free to contact Robyn for further information. Her email is Robyn3899@gmail.com, or you may text her at 720 841 1836. Any phone calls must be made through either the WhatsApp or Signal apps.
This is a practice process group. You will also have the opportunity to explore the dreams of other group members while being coached by the group facilitator. You will learn how to facilitate dream exploration from an AEP perspective. You can receive credit toward AEP certification for the Dream Class after 48 hours of attendance.
Cost for each three hour session is $90. There is a four-session initial commitment. The group meets once a month and begins on 05/03/2026 You may receive a 10% discount by paying for all 10 groups a year in advance.

There’s a moment many therapists recognize when individual sessions start to feel like one piece of a much bigger picture.  Renee Shannon is a therapist who responds. Individual therapy matters. But the conversations, the breakthroughs, and the practices clients are discovering want room in workshops, retreats, and shared experiences with others.

Renée Shannon, MA, LPC, founder of Mindful Creation Counseling works in Lafayette and Denver. www.renee-shannon.com Renée supports individuals, couples, and families moving through anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. Her approach blends research-backed therapy with mindfulness, body awareness, and honest self-reflection in a way that feels warm and real. As her practice has grown, so has interest from clients and community members looking for experiences and learning outside the traditional therapy office.
Aligned & Awakened is an educational and experiential weekend for anyone wanting to go inward. Participants will move through meditation, breath-work, journaling, sound healing, chakra-based teachings, and group reflection designed to build self-awareness, reconnect with the body, and come away with practices that benefit everyday life.

MSSS [Media Services & Strategic Services] works alongside Renée by providing media and business support.

You are invited to join our upcoming FREE webinar, Somatic Soul-Based Trauma Healing Roadmap, where we’ll delve into this topic. In this experiential session, Katie Asmus will be sharing the core roadmap she’s developed over the past 25+ years to support people in healing from trauma and attachment wounding—and in restoring their ability to shift their nervous system states with more ease, choice, and resilience.

What You'll Get:

The roadmap I use with both clients and the clinicians I train — the order I move through, the considerations I hold, and the reasoning behind each step when working with trauma from a somatic soul-based perspective

How teaching clients somatic awareness, resourcing, and resilience — along with continuously providing safety, choice, and consent within your sessions — sets them up to effectively work somatically at their own pace

What's happening in the brain and body during trauma, and the keys to shifting these habituated states over time, so clients can regain more ease, efficacy, and freedom in their lives

Greater confidence and clarity to support your clients through trauma from a holistic perspective
