Embodied Community Model (ECM) an SE Based Group Therapy Model

The Embodied Community Model of group therapy is grounded in somatic-based approaches to group intervention. Group therapy is as effective as individual treatment. However, many health professionals receive limited training in group therapy techniques and skills.

Please take advantage of this opportunity, as the investment for future trainings will reflect the enhanced value and rising costs. This initial pricing acknowledges our early adopters, and we invite you to join us at this foundational stage for a unique educational experience at a uniquely accessible price.

• Enhance existing skills in embodied group treatment and facilitation

We will offer three tiers of pricing. Our three-tiered pricing model is inspired by the Green Bottle Sliding Scale Method, which embraces the diversity of financial situations and strives to offer access to services across the economic spectrum. Developed by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, this approach eschews a one-size-fits-all model in favor of economic justice and inclusivity, allowing participants to self-select the price that aligns with their financial capacity.

This recognizes that all people have differing levels of capacity to pay. For those who have good resources, please consider the rebalancing price of $160 to support others. We are grateful for those who can pay the full fee; at $120, it would be impossible to offer the training without payment. For those who can pay only $40 at this time, your skills and insight are an important part of our learning community!
