3-Core Integrative: ONLINE Certificate Course
Available starting May 3rd
3-Core Integrative (3CI) offers extensive theory, research, and evidence surrounding Mindfulness, Movement, and Nutrition in relation to social work practice and the overall mental health and wellbeing of clients. Students of 3CI will be educated on how to ethically and practically work these complementary components into clinical practice while understanding and addressing barriers clients may face. This course acknowledges the impact that often-overlooked factors have on clients' lives and health, and on their ability to access these integrative components- chronic stressors such as pollution, racism, poverty, etc. 3CI is taught through a variety of self-led instruction- video, ebook, audio, and guided practices- and also includes a comprehensive workbook for follow-along learning. Students will leave this course with a collection of handouts, worksheets, and other resources to use in session, Integrative Mental Health Professional credentials, and access to guided practices for both client and clinician.

Virtual U: Do They Call It Praying:
May 4, 2022, 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
via Zoom
We see people performing what seems to be devotional acts, and we may wonder: do they call it “praying”? It’s not a simple question to answer. Our focus in this session is to offer you our virtual audience, the cosmologies that overlap in the multifaith neighborhood and our neighbors’ understanding of and names for the Ultimate. Take a multi-religious illustrated tour of devotional acts of prayer, supplication, meditation, veneration, blessing, chanting, puja, arthi, jashan, yoga, qigong, and other possibilities.

Faith in the Neighborhood Series: Clothing, Cuisine, Clocks and Calendars
May 18, 2022, 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
via Zoom
Religions are, by nature, “boundary-setters”. In a multifaith neighborhood, we’ll find many overlapping (or crisscrossing) boundaries – territorial, bodily, and temporal. This session takes the audience on a tour of the clothing, diet, calendars and time that are a boundary for multifaith conversations and connections.
