Intended Audience
The retreat is for all Mental Health Professionals who want to learn about Mindfulness, EMDR and Body Awareness.
You do not need to be trained in EMDR to attend this workshop but you will come away from it knowing more about it – when to refer clients, how to use it in your own experience or possibly decide to become an EMDR trained therapist, yourself.
“Attending Retreat Only” – This option is for friends or partners of full retreat attendees, who will be coming to the retreat but will not be attending the workshop portion of the retreat. They are welcome to share in meals and are invited to the campfire on Saturday evening but otherwise, they will not attend the workshops either as a participant nor as an observer. The workshop attendee will register as a “Double” and the friend or partner will register as “Attending Retreat Only.”

Workshop Abstract
This workshop offers mindfulness strategies to integrate to techniques from EMDR therapy and Body Awareness.
The mindfulness strategies can be effective when incorporated with strategies from EMDR therapy; this is especially beneficial for clients who need to increase their affect tolerance. Participants will learn about current research on mindfulness and EMDR therapy. Additionally, participants will learn about the hypothesized mechanism of action for EMDR and mindfulness.
Non-EMDR therapists and Mental Health Professionals will be given ways to use EMDR strategies without the use of bilateral (Eye-Movements) stimulation.
The format of this workshop is a retreat, this means participants will practice these strategies to self-attune. Come to be refreshed and to enhance your EMDR skills!
Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Strategize how to integrate EMDR Techniques, Body Awareness, and Mindfulness to help clients manage their affect in between sessions and increase distress tolerance
- Describe the current literature on mindfulness, EMDR, and neuroscience
- Apply and demonstrate EMDR therapy, body awareness, and mindfulness integration
- Summarize strategies implemented during lecture and practicum, and integrate phases of EMDR and mindfulness into practice
Event Days and Times
Attendees will arrive on Friday evening in time for dinner and for the Friday evening meeting, which will be a welcoming-orientation and safe/calm place meditation.
Saturday will consist of teaching, discussion and practicing both mindfulness meditation and ways to incorporate EMDR type strategies with that. Saturday will be all day, including the evening campfire.
The retreat will end on Sunday at 3:00 pm, giving attendees time to drive home refreshed, relaxed and ready to add some new mindfulness tools and strategies into their practice.

Payment Information
The charge for the retreat includes the tuition, and room and board for two nights. The meals that are included are for Friday evening, 3 meals on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. Vegan and vegetarian meals can be provided but we will need to know that ahead of time so they can be ordered and prepared.
The rooms are like simple motel rooms. They are clean with linens and towels and a TV. Not fancy but suitable.
Sleeping options are to have your own room (Individual) or room with another (Double). Each person in a double will register separately using the “Double” option. If you plan to room with someone, be sure to let us know who that is in the comments section when you register. It is okay to register as a “double” and not have a roommate in mind, in which case they will be assigned.
