What's the monthly Lunch 'n Learn Trainer Series?

The Lunch N Learn Trainer Series is a monthly recurring event where any CBS-trainer (peer reviewed or otherwise) can volunteer to host a 60-minute Zoom session. Target audience of these one-hour sessions are ACBS-members who are trainers themselves and/or who have an interest in training others in CBS-related approaches (ACT, RFT, CBA, etc.).

The guest trainers can choose one of two formats:

1. Pure Q&A (attendees are advised to come with questions)
2. A 30-minute presentation or mini-workshop on a training-related topic the trainer is passionate about, followed by 30-minute Q&A with attendees afterwards.

When and how often will there be an event?

We aim to present you (at least) one guest trainer every month. We do not have a regular date and time for the sessions as these are chosen individually by our guest trainers. Please note, that sessions are displayed in the trainer's local time - be sure to convert those to your own local time zone.

Who can attend?

Anyone who has an interest in training others based on a CBS-related approach. All sessions are free of charge thanks to the generous support of the guest trainers. All sessions are limited to ACBS-members only.

How do I get access to the sessions?

We will publish the Zoom-links to all events 1 week in advance on the child "Zoom" page (available to ACBS members only), to which there's a direct link at the bottom of this page, or you can click on the "Access Zoom link" just under the event, which will also take you to the child page.

Will sessions be recorded?

Some of the sessions will be recorded, some not. To find out whether a session recording is (yet) available of a past event, scroll further down to the event in question and check for "Access recording" followed by a link to the recording (available to ACBS members only). The direct link to this child "recording" page can be found at the bottom of this page.

Hank Robb: A Train-the-Trainer session on "Forgiveness & Reconciliation"

Description: Forgiveness can be conceptualized as no longer holding the facts against someone or something in contrast to excusing, forgetting, explaining, or understanding the facts. Reconciliation can be conceptualized as giving the chance for the same painful thing to happened again. The approach presented allows for forgiveness without reconciliation. It will provide physical metaphors as well as consider the role of acting willingly and grudgingly when forgiving or reconciling. Please note: It will be useful for attendees to have the facts of one or more unforgiven grievances written down on a piece of paper when attending the session. (No public sharing needed, just to maximize the experiential part of the practice).
