This Virtual eCPR Training needs a minimum of 10 participants and is limited to no more than 14 participants.

To receive your certification you must participate from the beginning to the end of training to receive your certificate. 

We are asking everyone to have their own computer and if you're training in the same building or house with someone else please make sure you are in separate rooms and in an uninterrupted quiet place to participate during this training. Also, you will need a good internet connection for Zoom audio and video.  We strongly encourage you to use your computer for a better experience, but could include your iPad (and perferably not your phone).

We are asking everyone to have on their camera and to fully be present as we take this special training journey together.

 

DESCRIPTION:

eCPR is a profound process of reclaiming our Connection (to self and others), embodying emPowerment, and ultimately feeling Revitalized. The certification training engages your heart and mind in an experiential and unfolding process that includes embracing mutual support. With over a decade of providing this training widely in the U.S with rapid expansion globally, the consistent feedback is that it helps us become better listeners and supporters, it changes our perception of not only ourselves but of the world around us; it teaches us how to tap into our well of compassion and enhance all our relationships.

Thriving in these times of uncertainty means we need to practice self-care and reclaim our ability to feel connected, empowered, and revitalized. Honestly, many of us were pleasantly surprised at how effective eCPR training has been in our new virtual training space; the energy, the safety, the sense of closeness and connection are all there. We invite you to join us on this deepening journey.

Those of us with lived experience of severe emotional distress have been well prepared for this global crisis because we have long known that our healing and resilience are enhanced by our connecting at a heart-to-heart level. eCPR certification training helps to alleviate the trauma of isolation and separation by laying a foundation for healing and wellness.
