This course explores consciousness through a cultural lens. Participants will join Rev. Dr. Karen Herrick to define and examine the Boggle Threshold, a cognitive concept influencing openness to new ideas. By analyzing Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) from diverse cultures, the course will investigate universal and culturally specific aspects of consciousness. Finally, we’ll delve into evidence for consciousness and memory beyond the physical body, considering cultural beliefs and practices related to death and the afterlife. *This webinar is live, real-time and interactive. Participants will earn 3 CE Credits – Cultural Competence.*

Increasingly, cultural sensitivity is of paramount importance in the clinical space. Current discourse, appropriately, has centered on marginalized groups finding a voice. In this workshop, Karen Landmann, LCSW aims to stretch the present dialogue into fascinating aspects of culture that mental health practitioners encounter in the clinical setting including immigration status, country of origin, subculture/tribe of origin, mother tongue, ethnicity, race, and skin color. Attendees will reflect upon their own culture, in which each of us is a unique individual, in order to understand processes that clients go through more deeply and to ascertain the impact of their own culture on the professional relationship, whatever it may be. *This webinar is live, real-time and interactive.
