Building a Culture of Love & Compassion in a Divided World
Scarlett Lewis
​
NO CE Hours Level: All
​
Scarlett’s story opens hearts with the inspiring message her 6 year old son left on their kitchen chalkboard, "Nurturing Healing Love," just days before his murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Realizing this was a path forward, she decided to provide solutions that address the root cause of the suffering that leads to diseases of despair. Follow Scarlett’s journey of turning pain into passion with a powerful formula that enables people to thoughtfully respond in their full power with love in any situation. Dive into the Choose Love Mindset and discover the neuroscience of overcoming the fear that limits us.
Scarlett Lewis founded the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement after losing her six-year-old son in the Sandy Hook tragedy. She, along with education and psychology experts, developed the Choose Love Movement, a comprehensive social-emotional development program offered at no cost to schools, homes, and communities worldwide. Her evidence-based curriculum, now implemented in all 50 states and 120+ countries, equips educators and students with tools to build resilience, connection, and emotional intelligence.

Dream Transfer: A Powerful Mode of Imaginal Healing
Robert Moss
​
NO CE / Level: All
​
We can bring a dream to someone who needs a dream – a healing image, a vision of life possibility, even a road map to the afterlife. We can help them to step out of a tired, self-limiting story into a braver and bigger one. We can share one of our own dreams of power, adapting its content for their circumstances, and invite them to receive any part they can use and discard the rest. We can draw from our life experiences and those of others, from literature, from movies. Robert guides us on a conscious dream journey to a place in the imaginal realm where can find a dream that we – and those we are called to help – may need today.
​
Robert Moss has been a dream traveler since doctors pronounced him clinically dead in an Australian hospital when he was three years old. He created the School of Active Dreaming, his original synthesis of modern dreamwork and ancient shamanic journeying practices. Robert has led popular workshops globally, including a three-year training for Active Dreaming teachers and online courses for the Shift Network. Robert is a New York Times bestselling novelist, poet, journalist, and scholar. His many books on dreaming, shamanism, and imagination include Conscious Dreaming, Dreamways of the Iroquois and Growing Big Dreams. Robert has lived in upstate New York since he received a message from a red-tailed hawk under an old white oak.
Beyond Energy: The Power of Stacked Clinical Skills in Energy Psychology
Robert Schwarz
​
1 CE Hour** Level: All
​
For the last 20 years, most of the papers and discussion of energy psychology (EP) have focused on the “energy” part of the term. While this focus has been valuable, it has unintentionally hindered EP’s integration into mainstream therapy. It makes EP more “other” from the viewpoint of more standard therapies. EFT and most EP approaches “stack” multiple therapeutic skills used by different types of therapy while engaging the body. These skills are rarely articulated. This skill stacking contributes a considerable amount to the effectiveness of EP approaches. Bob will map out these skills, making it easier for you to communicate with others and helping you improve your skills as an EP practitioner.
OBJECTIVES
-
Articulate at least 3 psychological skills embedded in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and energy psychology (EP), highlighting their contributions to therapeutic effectiveness.
-
Discuss the psychological components that EP shares with other therapies such as EMDR, ACT, and mindfulness, thereby reducing barriers to mainstream acceptance.
​
Robert Schwarz, PsyD, DCEP, ACAP-EFT, has been a licensed psychologist for over 35 years. He was the executive director of ACEP for 17 years. Bob has organized over 30 conferences on Ericksonian hypnosis, trauma treatment, and energy psychology, ACEP’s Science of Energy Healing online programs and ACEP’s EFT training program. He has authored 3 books, including: Tools for Transforming Trauma, one of the first books on trauma to include energy psychology. Bob has taught internationally on energy psychology, trauma, and Ericksonian hypnosis.

Breathing is the center of life. Modern science increasingly validates ancient wisdom about the breath's profound ability to integrate physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and relational aspects of being and personal/collective love. Experiencing conscious breathing as our primary language with each other can unify energy, deepen self-care, and open groundbreaking clinical applications. Through theory, case studies, science, and experiential exercises, explore pathways to enhanced mirroring, attunement, integration, flow, and expanded consciousness; as well as pathways to deep intrapsychic material, memories, and potential. Experience a transformative breathwork process for personal empowerment and client facilitation. Learn three orientations of clinician breathing that can enrich the therapeutic relationship—fostering greater trust, insight, and healing transformation.
OBJECTIVES
-
Describe 5 ways that conscious breathing can enhance therapeutic impact.

A Glimpse into the Future of Frequency Medicine
John Stuart Reid
​
1.5 CE Hours* Level: All
​
A new, expanded medical model is beginning to emerge, heralded by photobiomodulation —frequency medicine in the domain of light—as well as the clinical term music medicine. This new approach is distinct from music therapy, in that the music is given directly to patients without a therapist, purely for its ability to benefit the patient’s physiology.
At the cellular level, information is exchanged through electromagnetic signals, biochemical signals and sonic frequencies. At the atomic level, biological complexities and energy-information flow can be viewed in terms of vibrational energy.
Since the body is comprised of vibrational energy, a wide variety of vibrational and energetic modalities are available to support the patient’s physiology. It is in this context that frequency medicine has its roots: the energetic interconnectedness of the mind-body system. We will explore these ideas and get a glimpse into the future of frequency medicine, in which John believes light and sound will reign supreme.
​
OBJECTIVES
-
Describe how photobiomodulation can reduce oxidative stress, inflammation and pain in the body.
-
Describe at least 2 frequency medicine techniques currently available to support a clients physiology and well being.
-
Discuss how frequency medicine can be used as part of an integrative approach to mental health.
​
John Stuart Reid is an acoustic physics researcher. He has studied the physics of sound for four decades and is a respected authority in the field of cymatics. He is one of only two people to have studied the acoustics of the Great Pyramid and in 1997 he conducted a series of ground-breaking experiments in the pyramid’s King’s Chamber, which led him to invent the CymaScope instrument, a new type of device that makes sound visible. Having experienced a significant healing of his lower back during his acoustics study of the Great Pyramid, John began research into the field of sound healing, which continues to the present day.

Personality & Wholeness in the Cultivation of Well-Being
Daniel Siegel
​
1.5 CE Hours**​ Level: All
​
Explore an interpersonal neurobiology approach that harnesses the insights of developmental neuroscience to illuminate how early temperament interweaves with attachment experiences in the cultivation of nine personality patterns. Agency, bonding, and certainty are deep motivations that combine with an attentional orientation of inward, outward, and dyadic to form nine personality patterns that shape the developmental pathways of our lives. These patterns mold how we: experience and express emotion, focus our attention and find meaning in life, and even how we interact with others. These nine patterns offer us ways to grow toward wholeness, a lifelong journey.
Inspired by tens of thousands of narratives from the Enneagram personality system, this framework helps us gain insight into how we became who we are and offers practical steps for how we can intentionally open what may have become a prison of personality into a playground of possibility. Discover approaches that can be effectively integrated into your clinical assessment and treatment plans.
​
OBJECTIVES
-
Describe the interplay of temperament and attachment in the development of personality and human flourishing.
-
Identify 9 Patterns of Developmental Pathways (PDPs) that help illuminate distinct growth-edges for lifelong development.
-
Explain how an individual’s insights into their own PDP and those of others can give powerful avenues for understanding life journeys and personal relationships and the many ways we can be at risk of burnout and stress.
