Advanced Embodied Cultural Humility for Certified SPTers

WOW! We can’t begin to describe just how powerful the Advanced Embodied Cultural Humility for Certified Synergetic Play Therapists/Providers program was. Deep appreciation to Liliana Baylon and Mili Sarmiento-Shoemaker for the program they built and for sharing such an important training with our Certified SPTers and Consultants! Your insightful teachings, grounded presence, and raw vulnerability were unmatched.

And to all of our Certified SPTers and Consultants who attended this 2-day program, THANK YOU for showing up for you and your communities! To becoming instruments of change!
