Dr. Gordon Neufeld in Nelson

Event Date: May 25 Location: Selkirk College 10th Street Campus - Mary Hall
Contact: neufeldinnelson@gmail.com

The Student - Teacher Relationship
In this seminar, Dr. Neufeld presents a working model of attachment that can be used by educators and professionals alike and that applies to children of all ages, including those who have trouble learning and behaving. By spelling out the science of relationship, Dr. Neufeld reveals why it matters so much how and to whom a child attaches. The bottom line is that students need to be in right relationship with those responsible for them, for both their own good and the sake of the adults involved. Dr. Neufeld will provide some suggestions on how educators can harness the power of attachment to make their work with students easier and more effective.

Dr. Gordon Neufeld in Nelson

Multi-day Event: May 26 - May 27 Location: Selkirk College 10th Street Campus - Mary Hall
Contact: neufeldinnelson@gmail.com

Working With Our Kids When They Get Stuck

Not everyone grows up as they get older. The construct of psychological immaturity has been with us as an intuitive concept for ages, but only recently has developmental science advanced to a state where it can now yield effective strategies and interventions to address learning and behavioural challenges.

Dr. Neufeld presents an integrated developmental approach to reaching troubled kids, using the constructs of attachment, vulnerability and maturation. Here he takes the best that developmental science has to offer and delivers it in a usable form to the educators and supporting professionals who work with these children or those responsible for them.

Traditional Japanese Reiki Class

Event Date: May 26 Location: Winlaw, BC
Contact: Call Whitney at 250-226-7437 to register or for more information.

Gendai Reiki Ho is a method of traditional Japanese Reiki which I have studied and mastered over the past eight years.
Reiki is a universal energy, which resonates with the same vibrations as light, and love. When we become attuned to this energy, it can help to align us with our highest path in life. Deep healing also occurs. Reiki has a profound balancing effect on our biofield and can be used to cleanse rough vibrations from our aura and chakras, as well as healing our body and bringing us back to wholeness.
The class cost is $175.00 which includes attunement, class manual, hands on practice and organic lunch. Call 250-226-7437 to register. We are close to the bus from Nelson, and a carpool can be arranged as well.
