NEW Training for 2025
Moving from Trauma-Informed to Healing-Centered Practices
When stress becomes prolonged or intense (trauma), the body and brain enter a stress-based state. This can lead to ongoing stress symptoms like trouble sleeping, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, chronic tension, stress-related ailments, or learning challenges. These effects can have a cascading impact across the lifespan.
Healing-centered practices help the body and brain return to a balanced, restorative, or high-performance state. Central to this process is the care of the brain, nervous system, and stress-related patterns held in the muscle memory. Advances in neuroscience and epigenetics inspire powerful habits to relieve stress and improve well-being
Course Objectives:
- Integrate healing-centered and restorative practices into trauma-informed care.
- Take care of your brain and central nervous system to feel better and perform at your best throughout the day.
- Understand the connection between stress and disease and learn techniques to reconnect with your body’s strong foundation for wellbeing.
- Activate and strengthen your social engagement and learning systems.
- Use co-regulation as a tool for growth and healing.
- Develop a mindset and habits to support your goals.
- Gain actionable insights to boost your health at the cellular level.
- Recognizing the deep connection between culture, identity, and healing.
The 4-part experiential learning series helps people create efficient self-care practices.
Part 1 sets the foundation for the series: We get our witness in play to reveal our dynamic and adaptive body. We take care of our spine, brain, and posture to support brain health. We discover our stress-reflexes, relaxation-reflexes, and comfort signals.
Part 2 cares for the organs including our brain. Our brains love oxygen and nutrients and are just waiting for us to create the foundations for wellbeing. We explore four key aspects of restorative breath. We learn about the triune nervous system and what helps us restore balance and ease.
Part 3 activates our Social Engagement System: We discover the superpower of Co-Regulation and the importance of mirror neurons. We learn how to claim and share our calm with others as we reconnect with the world around us.
Part 4 inspires action and application: We see beautiful anatomy details to help us understand how to work with our smart bodies. We plan for our next steps for ourselves and our community.
Advanced Predictive Processing
If learning about the Predicting Brain has enriched your trauma-informed journey, this advanced training will elevate your understanding. Part of the Transformative Leadership Series, it explores how the brain blends sensory input with experience creation, revealing insights into perception, behavior, and public health challenges. Whether in education, healthcare, social services, or leadership, this course equips you to drive meaningful change, strengthen teams, and lead with clarity and purpose.
Neuro Belonging: Building a Culture of Connection
Neuro Belonging empowers leaders to create a workplace culture where everyone feels valued and connected. This training explores belonging cues – subtle behaviors that the brain interprets as signals of safety and connection – and teaches how to send and receive them effectively. Understanding how the brain creates trust and unity equips participants with practical strategies to foster genuine connections and transform their workplace culture from the ground up.
The Neuroscience of Authentic Leadership
This training equips leaders with neuroscience-based strategies to foster trust, collaboration, and innovation. Participants will explore how vulnerability, clear communication, and intentional practices shape team dynamics and create psychological safety. Through engaging discussions and practical exercises, leaders will learn to model vulnerability, deliver feedback with candor, embrace discomfort for growth, and foster collaboration through techniques like flash mentoring. By the end of the course, participants will have actionable tools to transform their leadership and empower their teams for meaningful results.
Mental Health and the Predicting Brain
This training explores the predictive processing framework, uncovering how the brain’s predictions shape mental health and influence conditions like anxiety. Participants will learn how misaligned predictions and faulty sensory inputs contribute to altered realities, sustained symptoms, and cycles of distress. The course provides actionable insights into targeting prediction mechanisms to realign expectations, enabling more effective, personalized treatment strategies. By the end, participants will understand how to apply this holistic framework to promote prevention, adaptation, and improved outcomes in mental health care.
