"Just one glimpse of the inner smile,
and walls of desperation tumble down"
-Rumi
The momentum of the retreat will afford the practitioners who participate to go even deeper in Part 2.
They will attain a more embodied skill in remaining in the centered place of Being while serving their
clients.  I have been serving on the Network teaching staff for the past 20 years, often working with the
hands-on groups and helping them to not only learn the techniques Dr. Epstein has
  taught; but to find
the flow within, which informs the technique.  This portion is open to anyone who works with clients in a
helping profession.
"Lawrence creates an engaging and comfortable group
setting which is conducive to softening easily into one's inner
world. With his guidance I readily found a way to be present
with personal pain, which I had been fearfully denying.
Within the comfort of my own embrace, I discovered a way
to self-soothe and nurture. The work has directly translated
to daily courage and confidence in facing with dignity, the
challenges which were previously terrifying. Lawrence
teaches the tools for independent growth; but I never want to
miss the opportunity to be in his grace-filled presence and to
share in the glowing group dynamic, as we all share the
others' experience with profound appreciation and depth."
-Marlena Rich
"I have a whole new level of presence while entraining.  I have access to a level of certainty that I didn’t know was possible.  
Entraining has become far more organic than it had been.  Of course, the changes that my practice members are making
are phenomenal.  I have a whole new ability to stay connected to myself which affects all of the relationships in my life.  But
most importantly, working this way is so, so satisfying. "  ---Jay Uecker D.C
