Rebodying the Self of the Healer (2027-28)

Rebodying the Self of the Healer

One registration enrolls you in the entire nine-month program, September 2, 2027 through May 13, 2028. Attendance is required at all nine meeting blocks: five three-day in-person gatherings in Austin and four virtual days (19 days total). Individual dates are not offered separately. Please review all dates below and discuss any conflicts with the facilitators before registering.

Facilitators: Marshall Lyles, LMFT-S, LPC-S and Abby Esquivel, LCSW

Description: There is a reason you are a therapist. Beyond certifications and CEUs. Beyond the person-of-the-therapist. Beyond the limitations of the language of our field. Beyond what you were taught about “doing” therapy. Beyond the dance of good enough, magic word sentences in attempt to achieve perfect documentation. For this nine-month experience, we invite you to co-journey with us in a process that isn’t traditionally offered in grad school and professional trainings.

We will be building up the part of you that is Healer, not just Therapist, and will be working with the reason you chose this field. Join us as we Re(un)visit, Re(un)claim, Re(un)body, and Re(un)member the sacred space where reason, intuition, spirituality, Self, and hope intersect and Re(un)shape our relationship to ourselves and our field. These endeavors will be supplemented by moments of discovering deeper parts of relational neuroscience, attachment theory, and parts work that ask our whole selves to be involved in healing work.

We will be welcoming experiences for our right-brains throughout our nine months together. This includes engaging expressive writing, music, movement, sandtray, collage, paint, nature, and clay, as we go to the root place that fills the well of our healing potential. While this program is only available to therapists, this is not a continuing education offering. This is a program that hopes to nurture the parts of you that preceded any “professional” knowledge. This is a program that aims to support you in coming to trust your intuition and honor your spirit. If you read all that is asked of you below and it both sounds like what you need and what you can do, we’d love to have you join!
