In-person training events offer a unique opportunity for close interactions with experts and networking with like-minded peers.  Come join an internationally renowned selection of Portland Institute faculty for systematic training in both in-person workshop and multi-day residential Learning Retreat formats.

All training offered by the Portland Institute uses principles of experiential learning to engage participants emotionally, intellectually and actively in mastering models and methods on the cutting edge of grief counseling and therapy, fostering reflection, conceptualization and active experimentation with practical tools and techniques adaptable to a broad range of issues and populations, often in an arts-assisted participatory format.

If you are interested in certification, you can supplement in-person events with Live Online Training lessons and an extensive list of Recorded Training lessons already available in our curriculum in any sequence.
