Welcome Back Certified SPTer!
Deadline to Register for the 4.5 Day Learning Retreat is November 30, 2026.
Did you know that as an esteemed alumnus of the Synergetic Play Therapy Certification program, you have the opportunity to return to the online learning retreats and join new cohorts of the Certification program – eager, possibly terrified, and ready to be inspired? (Remember that?)
- Be reminded of the power of the SPT Tenets
- Receive some of the most up-to-date and current understanding of interpersonal neurobiology and SPT theory
- Practice your Synergetic Play Therapy skills with play, sand, and art
- Have the opportunity to do your own personal work toward growth and transformation
- “Come home” to yourself and find even more ways to be fearlessly authentic
- Inspire the new cohort of aspiring Certified SPTers and share your own genius
- AND, meet FULL SPT Credential/Recertification requirements!
If you are ready to get back into community, refresh your SPT learning, and feel the excitement of the new SPTers on their own Certification journey, we would like to invite you back to join us for the 2026-2027 Synergetic Play Therapy Certification program online learning retreats!
“I am always excited to repeat the retreats as an alumni for three reasons. First, there is always new information to be had. Second, each time I hear the information that Lisa imparts, I hear it in a different way. Lastly, it is so wonderful to be in such a supportive environment with like-minded people. I can’t get enough!“ – Johanna Simmons, Certified Synergetic Play Therapist and Supervisor
You have the option of choosing to attend the 3.5 Day Learning Retreat, 4.5 Day Learning Retreat, or BOTH!
