Free Webinar: See What Your Clients Are Showing You - A Live Hakomi Demonstration for Therapists with Rob Fisher, MFT
2026-08-18 18:00 - 19:20
Have you ever sensed that something important was happening with a client—a shift in their voice, a fleeting expression, a sudden stillness—but weren’t quite sure what to do with it?
Some of the most important moments in therapy happen beneath the words.
In this free 80-minute session, you’ll watch a live demonstration of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy and see how subtle, present-moment signals can become doorways to deeper therapeutic work.
After the demonstration, we’ll slow things down and explore what happened: What did the therapist notice? Why follow one moment rather than another? How can a simple observation become an experiential intervention?
You’ll get a taste of practical Hakomi skills—including tracking, contact, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and Loving Presence—and see how they can help clients move from talking about themselves to discovering themselves in the moment.
Whether you practice IFS, attachment-based, psychodynamic, trauma-focused, somatic, or other approaches, Hakomi can add another dimension to the work you already do. Come see what becomes possible when we listen not only to what our clients say, but to everything they are showing us.

Hakomi Intro Workshop: A Mindful Path to Indigenous and Global Majority Healing
2026-07-24 10:00 - 16:30 | Online Via Zoom
In these turbulent times, the systems of oppression are literally pressing down on our clients in increasingly harmful ways. As clinicians, we have a powerful opportunity—and responsibility—to be a part of our collective healing. By showing up with cultural awareness, presence, and authenticity, we create the conditions for real transformation.
Come together to explore these questions and more!

How do we, as Indigenous people, members of the Global Majority, or committed Allies, meet suffering with compassion and skill?
How do we support the authentic unfolding of our BIPOC, Queer, and other oppressed populations/clients, in order to increase their felt sense of belonging?
How do we, as either Indigenous, Global Majority or Allies, support all who are suffering?

Through the lens of 3 particularly relevant principles of Hakomi, we will “study” our own experiences, translate this into practical skills to support others unfolding, coupled with an opportunity to witness a “live” demonstration of the Hakomi Method!
Join us for this experiential introduction to Hakomi. You’ll learn about the foundations of our 7-month training and walk away with tools you can begin using right away to foster connection, safety, and depth in your clinical work.

Community Event: Tribe of the Heart with Rob Fisher
2026-07-16 18:00 - 19:30 | Online Via Zoom
Tribe of the Heart is An Idea for a Difficult Time
This event is designed to create a place for us to inspire each other towards greater lovingness, kindness and compassion. We live in a difficult time. People and the planet are suffering in myriad ways, and I would like for us to co-create an oasis, a community of the heart. You know the magical feeling of being in a Hakomi training where you experience that there’s finally room for you to be more of who you really are, to blossom a little bit, and to extend your generosity to others?
Let’s cultivate that and bring it to a larger community. Let’s do it together! Let’s see if it catches fire!

Structure
We will do some internal and relational processes that will help nourish and explore our hearts. We can include times to share what inspires us to live more deeply from our organic selves: poetry, music, art, dance, stories of connecting with a clerk in Whole Foods, successes in repairing a rupture with your partner or the heartbreak of failing to do so, a poem that you read or wrote that touched something deep inside.
We can inspire each other. Maybe you can lead a movement piece or share a quote. Let’s create a place where we can support each other in gentle ways that inspire the best in each other. We can have times to sit in sacred silence together, to use mindfulness to explore the barriers to our own heartfulness, times for ritual, times to have our pain held by a tribe of the heart.
Together, we have a tremendous amount of talent, leadership and heart, that I believe we can use to create something wonderful for ourselves and others.
What You Will Learn

Explore what stops you from being more loving
Feel less alone
Bring more kindness to the world
Access your heart more deeply

Who Is This For
This event is open and relevant to Hakomi graduates and the general public.

Leveraging somatic intervention while addressing attachment wounds, ReParentive® Therapy is an intergenerational trauma healing model for clients who grew up in invalidating environments.

This approach has roots in therapeutic modalities that prioritize embodiment, mindfulness, liberation, and social justice; it is non-hierarchical and non-pathologizing.

A certified Hakomi Therapist, she utilizes experientially based modalities and a synergy of Buddhist and somatic psychologies to cultivate healing.

Pamela is a graduate of the Integral Counseling Psychology program at the California Institute of Integral Studies, where she is currently an adjunct faculty member.
This interactive and experiential introductory-level workshop will allow participants to:

– Learn tools to address attachment wounds and negative core beliefs for those raised in an invalidating environment
– Apply somatic + mindfulness principles for the therapist’s nervous system in order to promote co-regulation in clients
