Monthly Seminar
Meeting live, online monthly.
Asynchronous participation is welcomed.
Reserved for graduates of Reclamation Ground, this monthly online gathering is an opportunity to explore the teachings with one another in a down-to-earth way. Relative to the highly structured format of its prerequisite course, the seminar is easygoing, interactive, and spacious. On-the-spot teachings are provided in response to whatever arises within the group. As a result of sharing our reflections and questions with one another, an unmistakable ‘mini-circle’ vibe has developed. If you’d like to get a sense of your fit for a circle, then this is the best opportunity to do so.
-
Seminar is appropriate for women of all ages, colors, backgrounds, disciplines, gender identities, and expressions.
-
The Annual Course must be completed prior to participating in seminar. The course establishes a foundation-level understanding of traditional ACT teachings and methods. It also provides a shared language (e.g., chessboard, self-as-context). The seminar is an opportunity to explore these concepts in a more relaxed, extemporaneous, and down-to-earth way; It aims to bridge conceptual knowledge toward subjective wisdom.
-
This event is suitable to any level of mastery –from the beginner to the seasoned ACT therapist. Everyone is welcome. Advanced practitioners are encouraged to ask any questions that may arise — it can only bring greater depth and vitality to our conversation.
Participation
Second Mondays, 4:30-6 p.m. PT.
Not available on Mondays?
Video recordings are provided.
Our 90-minute meeting starts with the introduction of a topic — typically, Kelly reading a book excerpt. From there, our time together is entirely extemporaneous and based upon whatever arises within the group (e.g., question & answer, one-on-one coaching, role play, small group discussion).
-
Enrollment is biannual. We meet on the second Monday of each month for six consecutive months (Oct-Mar, Apr-Sep). You can enter, participate, and exit if it’s not a long-term fit for you.
-
Live, online meetings take place on the second Monday per month (from 4:30-6 p.m. PT). In order to protect the sanctity of our meetings, please join live only if you can: 1) offer your undivided attention to all those present, including yourself; 2) maintain a distraction-free environment; and 3) protect one another's privacy. If you cannot uphold all three agreements on any given Monday, then opt to watch the video recording of that meeting.
-
Professional-quality video recordings are provided within 7 days of each meeting (not grainy Zoom recordings).

Clarissa Pinkola Estés on Valued Action:
“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires.”
