Events for therapists who want more than another boring CE
Join Once Upon a Practice for intentional learning experiences, retreats, and gatherings designed to help therapists grow, connect, and come back to their
work with more clarity.
Once Upon a Practice events are created for therapists who want education that feels practical, engaging, and connected to the work they do every day. Whether it’s a continuing education experience, retreat-style gathering, or future workshop, these events offer more than information. They create space to learn, reflect, connect, and return to your work with more clarity.
Learning feels better when there’s room to breathe
Featured events
Regulated & Rested Cruise
Regulated & Rested is a 4-night continuing education experience designed for clinicians who work with, and often are, neurodivergent assigned female at birth individuals.
Fandom & Feelings
Fandom & Feelings is a 2 day continuing education conference exploring how our beloved stories can deepen clinical connection and therapeutic work. Join us May 13–14, 2027, in Avon, Ohio, for engaging trainings that bring fandom out of the background and into the therapy room.
What to expect when you show up
Once Upon a Practice events are designed to feel useful, welcoming, and worth your time. Whether you’re joining a retreat, workshop, or continuing education experience, the goal is to create space for real learning, meaningful connection, and practical takeaways you can bring back into your work.
Practical education
Learn from topics that connect directly to the work you’re already doing with clients, practices, and systems of care.
Intentional connection
Gather with therapists and helping professionals who understand the work, the nuance, and the need for support.
Space to reset
Step outside the usual pace of clinical work with experiences that make room for reflection, regulation, and rest.
More ways to gather are coming
Once Upon a Practice events are continuing to grow, with future workshops, retreats, and community-centered experiences created for therapists who want support that feels practical, connected, and human.
