Come to rejuvenate your NADA spirit, connect with the NADA community, and learn about innovative & grassroots programming.
Join the North American NADA community as we come together to learn and be inspired by the creative ways in which NADA providers in the Southwest region have been using the NADA protocol. We will hear how the NADA protocol is supporting frontline healthcare workers living with trauma as a result of fighting COVID; how it supports people's healing from addiction & trauma on the Pascua Yaqui Nation and ways in which it has mitigated stress and fear for individuals in the criminal justice system.
This will be an interactive online gathering! We will have opportunities to connect with speakers and fellow participants. We will be in touch with registered participants about the tools and further details of the day. It will always be possible to simply join and listen in, as well.
During a lunch break attendees will have the option to participate in interactive workshops on how to self-administer beads & seeds to relieve stress and active NADA practitioners can focus on care for themselves as they provide care for others.
SLIDING SCALE TICKET COSTS
For our Southwest Virtual Regional Meeting we are piloting a new model of sliding scale meeting tickets. If you can afford the higher end of the fee scale, please offer that payment to allow room for a range.
We are offering two options:
- Ticket for CE credits ($30-75)
- Ticket without CE credits ($10-$30)
The true cost of putting on this event is about $20/person (without CEs) and $45/person (with CEs). If it is possible please consider making a donation to help keep these and similar events accessible to all our members and their wider communities.
