Practitioner Monthly Training Series

Our practitioner training series is designed to be a moderately low-cost way of receiving structured pedagogy in Autonomics. This series is ideal for practitioners who are interested in understanding Autonomics in such a way that they can apply it to working with clients or patients, and want the primary learning engagement to take place in a group context monthly on Zoom.

WHAT IS IT?

The practitioner series has access to all of our educational and training films on the learning platform. In addition, every month on the third Saturday, from 9 to 11 am PDT/PST (12 pm to 2 pm EDT/EST) (-7 or 8 hours GMT) Gabriel will host a 90-minute training session focused around a particular film or video. This assignment will be shared a week before class. You can watch the film, and then come to class to discuss it.

Our educational film and interview series includes conversations with 25 of the world's leading experts in connection and wellbeing. We will draw from this library, as well as Gabriel's lectures, keynotes, and other topical videos. Our curation will be based on making sure that we cover the fundamentals of autonomics, its application to work with patients and clients, and subjects that are topically relevant to modern life.

We might therefore assign, for example, an hour long film on the intricate relationship between autonomic state and mindful awnareness one month, and the next month assign Gabriel's interview with Dr. Vincent Felitti, Co-Principal Investigator of the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES study). In class, each of these films would be our jumping off point into a guided co-learning deep dive. We'll strive to make the conversation relevant to those of you in the class.

OTHER BENEFITS?

You will find yourself in class with a global trans-disciplinary group of colleagues studying autonomics. There will be opportunity for relevant professional and personal connections. There are students of this work in North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. You are likely to meet interesting people with similar interests applying autonomics in all kinds of ways around the world.
