About Beyond the Textbook Conference

Join us for a transformative two-day conference diving into the real-world issues that impact our clients and ourselves but rarely make it into traditional training.

This event is designed for therapists, social workers, and wellness professionals ready to expand their practice and restore their purpose.

Featuring expert speakers, experiential wellness (sound bath + yoga), at a private club, this is not your typical conference.
