J.L. Moreno (1889-1974), the originator of psychodrama, once said: “The body remembers what the mind forgets.” During this one-day, introductory-level workshop, we explore ways the embodied brain can rewire itself to promote recovery and healing through psychodrama and related experiential methods. Key concepts from the field of relational neuroscience that give new credence to Moreno’s insights are explained, including: neuroplasticity, the role of secure attachment, and the Window of Tolerance. Techniques from sensorimotor psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, yoga as therapy, and other body-based and creative approaches are integrated with psychodramatic role-play. Participants leave with ideas and techniques they can apply in their work settings, as well as renewed appreciation for the profound resiliency of the human body, mind, and spirit.

Subject: Unlocking the Advantages of Virtual Group Supervision for Maryland Graduate Professional Counselors
Dear All,
I hope this email finds you well. As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of professional counseling, I wanted to highlight the numerous benefits of virtual group supervision for Maryland graduate professional counselors, available both during the day and evening sessions.
1. **Flexibility:** Virtual group supervision provides the flexibility that suits the diverse schedules of graduate professional counselors. Whether you're an early bird or a night owl, these sessions accommodate your availability.
2. **Accessibility:** By eliminating geographical constraints, virtual sessions make it easier for counselors across Maryland to participate. This fosters a more inclusive and diverse learning environment.
3. **Cost-Efficiency:** Virtual supervision minimizes travel expenses, allowing participants to allocate resources more efficiently. This cost-effective approach benefits both individual counselors and institutions.
4. **Technological Integration:** Embracing virtual platforms enhances counselors' technological proficiency, a crucial skill in today's digital age. This exposure prepares them for the evolving landscape of counseling services.
5. **Enhanced Collaboration:** Through virtual platforms, counselors can collaborate seamlessly, sharing insights, experiences, and resources. This collaborative environment contributes to a richer and more comprehensive learning experience.
6. **Adaptability to Remote Work Trends:** With the growing trend of remote work, virtual group supervision equips counselors with the skills needed for effective remote collaboration, ensuring they stay ahead in their professional journey.
Fee: $65.00 for 1.5 hours group supervision
We believe that embracing virtual group supervision not only addresses the current challenges but also positions Maryland's graduate professional counselors for success in the future. If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Did you know? A GTLYW workshop is the equivalent of about 3-6 months of couples therapy!
Imago teaches that relationship power-struggles are an opportunity for healing and growth and can establish a deeper connection for couples. When you learn how to move through conflict with compassion and empathy, disagreements in your relationship evolve into something deeper and more fulfilling.
Based on the theory and exercises described in the NY Times Bestselling book by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D. and Helen LaKelly Hunt Ph.D, the Getting The Love You Want® Couples Workshop teaches you and your partner how to transform your relationship into a fulfilling partnership. It's a transformative journey that guides couples with practical tools and strategies to create satisfying and long-lasting relationships.
You will be guided through exercises that explore the history of your relationships and how it influenced you to choose one another, and also look at the reasons you may struggle.
The workshop is designed as an educational experience. It may be therapeutic in terms of healing, and may even be transformative, but it is not therapy or group therapy. You are welcome to share your experience with the group, but it is not required. Most exercises are done between you and your partner.
$895 for the entire weekend workshop (not including accommodations). Requires a $100, non-refundable deposit to hold your spot. Balance is due one week prior to the workshop. Includes a GTLYW workbook for each participant and snacks throughout the weekend. Plus you get two experienced Imago couples therapists leading you through this educational experience which will transform your relationship!
Register by 3 weeks prior to each workshop and take $100 off your registration!
We offer 2 discounted spots per workshop for counselors & clergy -
$500 ($450 if registered by 3 weeks prior to workshop)
**A block of discounted rooms at the Graduate Hotel in downtown Annapolis will be available for each workshop.

Assessing and treating hormonal imbalances can be a powerful tool in an integrative, whole body approach to mental health care. Stress, addictions, nutritional deficiencies, menopause, medications and many other factors can impact hormone levels. Additionally, hormone levels directly and indirectly affect mood, energy levels, sleep and overall resiliency. In this presentation we will be exploring the specific ways in which hormones can play an important role in mental health treatment.
