Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind

Start close in,

don’t take the second step

or the third,

start with the first

thing

close in,

the step

you don’t want to take.

To find

another’s voice,

follow

your own voice,

wait until

that voice

becomes a

private ear

listening

to another.

Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind

in 2014

year-long training in interpersonal neurobiology coming to Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA

solid learning about the relational brain and deeply supported personal exploration in a small group - nutrition for both hemispheres

Our experience is teaching us that three days seems to be the optimal amount of time for each module, so in 2014 we will offer the year-long experience in 4 3-day gatherings.

The dates are set and we're opening registration.  Here's the brochure!

The Inspiration Behind These Offerings

In recent years, Bonnie's work has increasingly focused on supporting those who support others on the many paths of transformational healing to deepen their capacity for nonjudgmental presence. 

While this is no easy task, the wisdom of interpersonal neurobiology points the way toward processes we can undertake together to secure our own attachments and take steps toward comforting and healing our implicit world.

In 2011-2012, Bonnie had the privilege and pleasure of working with 24 therapists in Portland, Maine.  What began as an IPNB training has blossomed into a year-long transformational journey.

 Inspired by this experience, in 2013, Bonnie is offering two similar year-long experiences at her home and garden in the Portland, Oregon/Vancouver, Washington area. Those have quickly filled and have now begun with people from all over the US and Canada, so now it is time to prepare for 2014!
