Participants will survey the empirical evidence in support of ecotherapeutic practices, discuss the triadic relationship of therapist, client, and nature, and discuss ethical considerations associated with ecotherapy.

Hakomi experiential psychotherapy is grounded in mindfulness, non-violence, the somatic expression of psychological material, an unwavering faith in the client's own inner wisdom, and the awareness of the importance of lovingness for growth and transformation. The Re-Creation of the Self (R-CS) model delineates the organization of the Self and offers mechanisms for shifting states of consciousness from painful to preferred. Both modalities are supported by today's understanding of how our sense of Self arises from relationships, the body/brain, and experience. This introductory daylong workshop offers an experiential glimpse into M.E.T.A.'s training environment, staff and clinical orientation, and offers therapists, counselors, social workers, mental health practitioners, other helping professionals, and those interested in deep personal growth immediately applicable skills for facilitating change. It can also serve as a prerequisite for M.E.T.A. professional and personal growth trainings. Topics will include: the application of mindfulness to clinical processes, unique techniques to engage and explore bodily and emotional experience, a framework that offers relational, historical and state shifting options for responding to client needs, and information about META professional and personal growth trainings.
