Conscious Living Workshops

Conscious Living Workshops offer ways of bringing higher consciousness to everyday life. The workshops provide interaction with leaders in global consciousness, address an array of interests, and focus on bringing new knowledge into practical use – at home, in the workplace, in the world.
This signature workshop series offers an affordable retreat experience where people can become familiar with the research and education programs of IONS while enjoying life-deepening conversations, freshly prepared meals and reconnecting with nature on the 194-acre campus.
Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for Conscious Living Workshops are available for RNs, LCSWs and MFTs. CECs for psychologists may be available for specific offerings. For more information, please contact Dylan Schneider at dschneider@noetic.org.
