Transportation is offered subject to minimum enrollment. Pickup location and travel schedule will be provided to registered riders prior to the Immersion.

Bring your dog along for Autumn Immersion!

We know that for some of us, an experience is simply better with our dog nearby. This optional package allows you to bring one dog for the full three-night Autumn Immersion stay.

Please select one Pamper Your Pup Package per dog. Dogs must be comfortable in a shared retreat environment and remain under their person’s supervision and care throughout the Immersion.

After booking, we’ll follow up with additional information so we can help make the experience comfortable for our human and canine guests alike.

Getting ready to dive back into the Fall? Create energy and invite possibility into your work^life by diving into the Developmental Transformations (DvT) playspace with Adam Reynolds!

This one-day workshop is suitable for players/playors of all experience levels, with those more familiar with the method able to take on leadership roles in group and individual work, and those who are new to the method get a chance to dip their toes in the mysterious, playful, and fun energy of the DvT practice. 

If the “heat” of the world — real and metaphorical — has you feeling spent and shut-down, finding some time to enter into the Developmental Transformations Playspace can help you rejuvenate, cool off, and let go of patterns that have you feeling stuck and stiff where things are most important to you.

Workshop counts for hours towards DvT Practitioner training, and CEs for RDTs, LCATs, and LMSW/LCSWs.

Wednesdays (virtually): 9/2, 9/15, 9/30, 10/21 (7pm-8:30pm)

Building on the foundations of Developmental Transformations, this advanced offering invites participants to deepen their relationship to play as both a personal and professional practice. In serious and uncertain times, returning to play can create flexibility, responsiveness, and renewed vitality. This course is designed for those who have prior experience with DvT and are ready to move more fully into complexity, nuance, and sustained engagement within the play space.

Over four Saturday mornings, participants will engage in more extended and layered group and individual DvT play, with increased attention to relational dynamics, form, rupture and repair, and moments of “stuckness” as sites of possibility. Then, across four Wednesday evenings, we will reflect together on the lived play experience, weaving in DvT theory and key writings to deepen understanding of what emerged in the play space and how it informs clinical work, creativity, and everyday life.

This hybrid course offers a supportive, playful community for practitioners seeking to expand their capacity for spontaneity, tolerance for uncertainty, and embodied joy, not by leaving seriousness behind, but by meeting it playfully.  This class provides 6 Level 1 Seminar Hours and 12 Embodied Play hours towards Practitioner Certification.

Cost: Tier 1 - $720, Tier 2 - $600, Tier 3 - $480

In moments of global uncertainty, our inner worlds don’t stay still—and neither does play. This one-day Developmental Transformations (DvT) workshop offers a deep, embodied exploration of instability as articulated by David Read Johnson: not as something to resolve or eliminate, but as a vital engine of creativity, meaning-making, and emotional truth.

Across six hours of play and didactic integration, participants will engage instability as it lives in the body, in relationships, and in our collective emotional landscape—grief, fear, rage, hope, and the longing for coherence in a fractured world. Together, we’ll explore how DvT allows us to stay present and responsive amid disruption, and how play becomes a way to metabolize chaos rather than shut down or over-control it.

Held at Ripley-Grier Studios—a space rooted in community, dignity, and lived experience—this workshop invites clinicians, artists, and helpers to reconnect with flexibility, curiosity, and aliveness at a time when none of us are untouched by what’s happening around us.

Bring your questions, your nervous systems, and your humanity. All bodies are welcomed!

This class provides 12 Embodied Play hours towards Practitioner Certification. This workshop can be used for 12 hours of Continuing Education for Licensed Creative Arts Therapists, Licensed Social Workers (LMSW/LSCW) and RDTs.
