A quote from Diane Ackerman.
I hoped that when readers closed the book they would feel a blend of rapture and responsibility — the sense that our little lives and the vast lives of other worlds are made of the same dust, bound by the same laws, and therefore implicated in one another’s fate. I hoped for a lingering awareness that the “cosmic” is not elsewhere: the calcium in our bones, the iron in our blood, the mold on bread, the storms on Jupiter, and the quiet in deep space are all chapters of a single ancestral story, and once you feel that kinship it becomes harder to treat other lives or other landscapes as expendable scenery.
I also hoped readers might feel a bridge between awe and stewardship: the knowledge that we are latecomers in an ancient universe who nonetheless possess a frightening and beautiful power to scar or to shelter the only world (at the moment) we know to be alive. I wanted that double sensation to persist—a childlike wonder before the everythingness of everything, and braided through it, the mature realization that wonder alone is not enough, that love of the cosmos must express itself as care for this particular planet, with all its ordinary (though often overlooked) natural miracles.
Supervision Group — Emotional Integration of Patient and Therapist With Jon Frederickson & Yuval Alon
Two groups : basic before - during core training and advanced therapists teachers group
THURSDAY GROUP For therapists before or during core training 🕘 9:00 AM EST · 3:00 PM CET
This group is for you if you have not yet completed — or are currently in — your core training. It is a place to develop your clinical presence from the inside out, while you are still building your foundations.
We work with real cases to explore what happens when a patient's past enters the room, and what your own reactions as a therapist are telling you. You will learn to use yourself as a therapeutic tool, build a working alliance, and become the kind of therapist whose patients feel less alone.
What happens each session (1 hr 50 min): · 20 min — Thematic learning with Yuval. Yuval introduces a theme drawn directly from the cases brought for supervision that session, grounding the learning in what is alive in the room. · 60 min — Live supervision with Jon. A therapist brings a case. Jon works with the therapist to explore the dynamics: the patient's history, the therapeutic relationship, the therapist's reactions, and how to move forward. · 30 min — Group discussion with Jon. The group reflects on the themes that emerged and on what each therapist is taking from the session.
📩 After every session: a written summary + full video recording sent to you.
Dates: Feb 26 · Mar 5, 12 · Apr 10, 17, 30 · May 14, 28 · Jun 4, 11, 18, 25 Fee: $600 USD Lower fees available for therapists from Iran or other lower-income countries — contact us directly.

FRIDAY GROUP For therapists who have completed core training · and for teachers 🕘 9:00 AM EST · 3:00 PM CET
This group is for you if you have completed your core training — and for therapists who teach. Knowing something and living it are different things. This group works in that space.
The focus is emotional integration: bringing together what you know intellectually and what you carry as a person and as a clinician. For teachers, this group develops the skills to help your students not just understand the work, but feel it.
What happens each session (1 hr 50 min): · 20 min — Thematic learning with Yuval. Yuval introduces a theme drawn directly from the cases brought for supervision that session, grounding the learning in what is alive in the room. · 60 min — Live supervision with Jon. A therapist brings a case.
