PIETA HOUSE IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES EMPLOYER

Are you an IAHIP Accredited or Pre-Accredited member interested in integrating nature into your therapy practice or taking therapy sessions outside? If so, my highly interactive and practical Autumn 2021 courses will be of interest to you.

Course 1: Experiential Outdoor CPD Workshop for Therapists

When:        Sun. 29^th August 2021 :10am-5pm IST

Price:          €120 (6Hrs CPD)

Where:       Delivered In-Person in The Glen, Ennistymon, Co. Clare

Places:       Max number of participants 10

Visit JoanneHanrahan.ie or Contact JoannePsychotherapy@gmail.com for Details

Join me in exploring your own process outdoors, engaging with the natural world and with other like-minded professionals.  This workshop will compliment another longer CPD training in outdoor therapy or could give you a taster of how it may be to work outdoors prior to considering a further training. If you are already seeing clients outdoors this will provide a space for you to discuss your practice and gain more experience of being a client in the outdoors.  Also, very importantly this will be a day to give yourself time to ‘just be’ in nature.

Course Structure:

* This workshop will be experiential and will be held entirely outdoors in a rich natural space in Ennistymon Co.Clare

* Participant numbers will be limited to enhance the personal experience and processing time.

* The day will include a number of nature-based exercises and reflection.

* Time will be given to peer counselling (dyad work) so that you can experience both being therapist and client outdoors and process that experience in the group.

* The venue site contains a waterfall, meandering river, woodlands with a path and a wilder woodland area. 

* The Falls Hotel is situated which is where we will meet in the morning for outdoor coffee/tea and will have access to toilet facilities etc.

* Participants will be required to wear suitable outdoor clothing and bring sit mat/portable camping chair – more detail will be given on booking.

This Course has now been run 2 times and has had great feedback.  I take participant feedback very seriously and continually look to improve the content and delivery.  My first session had an average 4.6 Star rating while the June session earned a 5 Star average review.

Course 2: Online Outdoor Psychotherapy CPD Training

When:         Sunday 12^th, 19^th and 26^th September 2021: 08:30am – 2:30pm IST

Cost:           Price: €300 (15 Hours CPD)

Where:        Delivered Online Via Zoom with Experiential Exercises Outdoors at Home

Places:        Max Number of Participants is 10

Visit JoanneHanrahan.ie or Contact JoannePsychotherapy@gmail.com for Details

This course will help you learn of the background, theoretical underpinnings, and practical implications of seeing clients outdoors. You will gain knowledge of clinical vignettes and explore how you might consider integrating nature more into your practice. It will be held fully online but will be very interactive and include group discussion, breakout rooms, and nature-based exercises in participants’ own gardens.

This Course has now been run 4 times and has had great feedback.  I take participant feedback very seriously and continually look to improve the content and delivery.  My last 2 sessions have both earned 5 Star average reviews.

Course Structure:

* This unique course is developed to allow participants to engage in a very interesting and blended learning experience.

* It is designed as a highly interactive small group training which will include periods of outdoor time.

* Participants will engage with natural environments local to them during the course – this may be a garden, local park, country road etc.

* Further outdoor experiences will be encouraged between workshops

Check out my recent article in the Spring Edition of Inside Out or on the Nature Therapy section of my websitefor some insight into the theory and practice of working outdoors. While the article is more academic than the workshop, it will provide some background into this growing area of practice. 

The Art of Wanting

'to be running breathlessly toward, but not yet arrived is itself delightful, a suspended moment of living hope...'

Anne Carson

with Emma Philbin Bowman and Simon Courtney

a comprehensive course on Teachable, with 8 live sessions on zoom

Saturday mornings, 9-11am, October 16-Dec 11 2021

The Art of Wanting offers a rare opportunity to engage with a theme that touches all of us deeply: how we may live in more authentic, healthy dialogue with our longings and desires.

Psychotherapist, Writer and Facilitator, Emma Philbin Bowman created this course in response to how easily we can neglect this crucial element in our lives. She and Simon are delighted to be offering a new live group on Saturday mornings from mid-October.

We have found wanting is a particularly valuable theme to explore in a safe, contained and intentional group. This deepens our sense of the range of each theme and expands our empathy with ourselves and others.

The course is carefully designed to support each participant's unique journey. Each week contains:

• a fresh module on teachable organised in brief, digestible kernels
• our live meeting where we work with the material in the full group and smaller breakout sessions
• thematic guided meditations for a slower, more embodied process
• 'Optional Deepening' section for a more comprehensive treatment of the theme

More info – full curriculum and testimonials here. Book in August for Early Bird IAHIP discount. The code is CARPEDIEM, or use this direct link

 This course aims to deepen and enrich our engagement with the deep value of wanting as a natural and healthy source of energy and creativity.

We explore wanting as a capacity that can be developed and deployed with increasing skill, flexibility, genuineness and intimacy. (This is not a course about entitlement or success - more a recovery training for those of us who feel muted, vague or hesitant to honour our needs, longings and desires).

The Art of Wanting is carefully structured to support each participants’ unique journey. We offer an optional 20 minute 1:1 session at the commencement of the course and during the integration week:

“Brilliant, inspiring, warm, engaging...I loved the theme of the course. It met all my expectations and more. I love the style of Emma's facilitation, the quality of teamwork, videos and writings, the generosity of engagement.”

Ebru Nuhoglu Reilly, Participant

“I found it an excellent course and it far exceeded my expectations in terms of its richness, content delivery and engagement with other participants. It has opened up new forms of discovery...”

Wayne Dignam, Participant

“The live sessions are what made the big difference… I loved the group element and the noticing of similar and different themes and the way they all seemed to add to the richness of the theme - the “we” element was very powerful.”

Ciara O’Neill, Participant

YogaSOMATICS Experiential Online Programme

YogaSOMATICS was founded by Ateeka whose work has been inspired by Continuum Movement founder, the late Emily Conrad, Gestalt psychotherapist Ruella Frank, Danish spiritual teachers, Jes Bertelsen and Madhurima Rigtrup and is currently a student of Helen Gamborg, author of the “Invisible Aspects of Healing”, inspired by Bob Moor’s teachings about the subtle body, energy medicine and healing. 

YogaSOMATICS is a contemporary blend of ancient yoga and modern somatics. It is an experiential bodywork practice using sensing and deep listening to make inner contact with oneself and the energetic body. The practice offers spaces of containment and exploration through aware movements, breathing, relaxation, mindfulness, meditation and contact bodywork. It is a return to connect to one’s own bio energy, through slow and subtle movement in a first-person relational experience. 

It is a non-competitive, non-linear practice which has been designed to align with one’s own natural rhythm, honouring each individual to make contact with your own embodied wisdom; and may appeal to those who are new to yoga. 

Term 2: Connecting to Breath and Solar Plexus Energy is open for booking until midnight 16^th August. Some aspects explored will be Creating awareness of the Breath, Facial Massage, Ungripping and the Jaw, Streaming Bio Energy through the 5 Spheres, Solar Plexus Energy, Unwinding through the Arms, Music as a Nervous System Reset.
