Starting book club September 15 - November 1 Better in Every Sense How the Science of Sensation Can Help Reclaim Your Life by Norman Farb PhD. Meeting times every 2 weeks 8:00 AM PST $15 | Optional CEUs Available Feeling stuck in the same old ruts? This fall, we're reading Better in Every Sense: How the New Science of Sensation Can Help You Reclaim Your Life by neuroscientist Norman Farb, PhD and clinical psychologist Zindel Segal, PhD. The book introduces "sense foraging" — a practical, science-backed approach to breaking free from autopilot and reconnecting with your senses to navigate life's challenges with more clarity and openness. Praised by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Judson Brewer, and Sharon Salzberg, it's an accessible blend of cutting-edge neuroscience and hands-on tools you can actually use. What's included: Every two weeks, we'll gather for a live discussion to dig into the chapters together — sharing insights, questions, and real-life experiments with the practices. Between sessions, the conversation continues in our community space, where you can post reflections and connect with fellow readers. Can't make a live call? Every session is recorded and available in the course section, so you'll never miss a beat. Continuing Education: For licensed professionals, CEUs are available for an additional $15 fee. As an approved provider with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS), we make it easy to deepen your clinical toolkit while earning credit. Why $15? We've kept the price low so it's accessible to everyone, but meaningful enough that you'll show up for yourself and the group. Your commitment is what makes this community work. Grab your copy of the book, join us in September to learn and grow together.

I’ll be leading a live, online forest bathing walk at 10:00 AM PST today. If you join, you’ll need access to the internet and a bit of nature—this can be your backyard, a nearby park, or any outdoor space where you can move slowly and safely. The walk and Q&A will last one hour and will not be recorded, so this is a chance to be fully present, embodied, and in connection with the natural world in real time. If you’re feeling called to slow down, breathe, and reconnect—come join us. 🌿

I am thrilled to be an approved CEU provider for the BBS through CAMFT and we will be launching the Neuro-SOmatic Integration Framework Continuing Education soon Rooted in Science. Guided by Nature. Embodied in Practice. Why This Framework Now - We live in an era of collective dysregulation and disconnection. - Educators, clinicians, and leaders are seeking tools that restore balance to the nervous system and to our relationships—with self, others, and the Earth. - The Neuro-Somatic Integration™ Framework offers a practical path for healing, learning, and leading grounded in science and rooted in nature.

Healing is connecting, being fully me in my unique embodying of who I AM. Healing is my body, mind and soul open to grounding, dancing and elevating. Healing is being free of pain physically, mentally emotionally and spiritually. Healing is feeling and hearing my heart as it pounds in my chest. Healing is sharing space breathing, gathering truths, burning lies, watering seeds, opening to the power in me and others to reciprocity, love and wisdom.💚🦅🌀
