In the face of climate change, the scale and severity of this global crisis can leave you overcome with a sense of despair and impending doom. This overwhelming feeling is called climate anxiety and can manifest as paralysis, panic, apathy, and hopelessness.

Come find calm in the storm at this workshop led by IIHW steering committee members Pamela "Tobi" Fishel, PhD and occupational therapist Camille Dieterle, OTD, OTR/L.

Yoga is an ancient behavioral practice that develops the skills of mind-body awareness or mindfulness, self-regulation of internal physiological and psychological states, and physical fitness. This presentation will review the scientific evidence for the underlying mechanisms of yoga practice as well as the evidence for yoga in workplace settings, with an emphasis on yoga for burnout in healthcare workers.

An introduction to a full training in psychedelic psychotherapy for clinicians!

About this Event

Join us for a three-hour discussion on how to provide psychedelic psychotherapy in a mental health setting using cannabis and ketamine. Denver-based clinic Innate Path has been testing and providing psychedelic treatment using these readily available or FDA-approved medicines for years. Combined with a non-ordinary state somatic therapy that changes the processing pathway from cognition and insight towards the autonomic nervous system, these medicines generates a clear psychedelic, therapeutically useful response.

Serving as an introduction to a full training in psychedelic psychotherapy for clinicians, this talk:

Discusses the legal and licensing considerations of implementing these medicines into a private practice.

Details a therapeutically useful map of the autonomic nervous system & how the body serves as a processing pathway for psychedelic medicine.

Discusses the transference dynamics of working in psychedelic states

Provides an opportunity to view sample video sessions
