On Tuesday and Wednesday we launched the new Hope Reimagined Clinical Cohort with 2 days of connecting and orienting. I am so excited for they year of learning and growing together and for the support and holding these evolving clinicians will bring to children and families through out Oakland Unified. I feel so lucky to have such an amazing leadership team with @Shenaaz Janmohamed deeping your role and holding folks in practice of becoming embodied therapists and to @Julia Livesey & @Nirupama Lal for their leadership in creating a culture of reflection learning and support. Yesterday we got to be in nature as we stepped into our new shape for the 2026/27 school year and it was a gift to have the time together with the Redwoods. Thanks Shenaaz for taking the picots I was so locked in I didn't even think to document.

Starting book club September 15 - November 1 Better in Every Sense How the Science of Sensation Can Help Reclaim Your Life by Norman Farb PhD. Meeting times every 2 weeks 8:00 AM PST $15 | Optional CEUs Available Feeling stuck in the same old ruts? This fall, we're reading Better in Every Sense: How the New Science of Sensation Can Help You Reclaim Your Life by neuroscientist Norman Farb, PhD and clinical psychologist Zindel Segal, PhD. The book introduces "sense foraging" — a practical, science-backed approach to breaking free from autopilot and reconnecting with your senses to navigate life's challenges with more clarity and openness. Praised by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Judson Brewer, and Sharon Salzberg, it's an accessible blend of cutting-edge neuroscience and hands-on tools you can actually use. What's included: Every two weeks, we'll gather for a live discussion to dig into the chapters together — sharing insights, questions, and real-life experiments with the practices. Between sessions, the conversation continues in our community space, where you can post reflections and connect with fellow readers. Can't make a live call? Every session is recorded and available in the course section, so you'll never miss a beat. Continuing Education: For licensed professionals, CEUs are available for an additional $15 fee. As an approved provider with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS), we make it easy to deepen your clinical toolkit while earning credit. Why $15? We've kept the price low so it's accessible to everyone, but meaningful enough that you'll show up for yourself and the group. Your commitment is what makes this community work. Grab your copy of the book, join us in September to learn and grow together.

Hi Community I am so incredibly excited and honored to be one of the trainers, along with @Jessica Jurcak in New Hampshire with the Forest Therapy Hub in September. This is an amazing opportunity and I am thrilled to be back in New England to connect to the land and the international community that is growing a science based moevent! Check it out! https://foresttherapyhub.com/summer-school-2026-usa/ He @Kirk Ward promised I would share.
