Join us at Synergia Ranch

Located in the beautiful high temperate grassland/juniper ecosystem a half-hour south of Santa Fe and an hour from Albuquerque, in the foothills of the historic Cerrillos Hills. An ecological and cultural oasis enriched by decades of ecological restoration, over a hundred species of migratory birds are attracted to its shade and bounty. 

This workshop is designed for all professionals dedicated to providing care and service to others.

This event is specially tailored for mental health providers seeking CEUs, while remaining open and welcoming to all who are dedicated to caring for others. If you work in any related field and this retreat sounds like what you need for self-care and burnout prevention, we would love to host you.

Held in a beautiful setting, immersed in nature, this training moves beyond lecture-based ethics instruction and into lived experience. Participants will have slow-moving time to engage in guided mindfulness practices, nervous system regulation exercises, reflective dialog, and nature immersion. Together we will reflect on how our internal states influence duty of care and clinical decision making.  Through experiential learning, participants will explore how rest, regulation, and mindfulness are foundational to quality ethical care.

Through the framework of the Self-led therapist from the Internal Family Systems model, we will explore how to address ethical interactions.  Working with reflection practices and self-inquiry tools the group will learn how to identify, investigate and unblend with parts that interfere with our clinical presence.  Mindful attunement with our system will allow for engagement with the wise discernment of supportive Self-led boundaries.  Techniques of self-compassion will guide the focus on maintaining a critical mass of Self during the clinical interactions.
