NASAP 2026: Brainspotting Early Recollections
In the world of psychotherapy, we are constantly seeking ways to help our clients move from surviving to thriving. At the NASAP 2026 Conference later this month, I will present on the powerful intersection of two profound modalities: Adlerian Theory and the NeuroExperiential Model of Brainspotting (BSP).
Summer in Motion: Step Outside with Open Floor Movement
There is something transformative about the St. Croix River Valley in the summer. The air is thick with the scent of flowers and prairie grass, the sun lingers late into the evening, and our bodies naturally yearn to shed the layers of winter and move.
At Coriander Living Collective, we believe that a life well lived requires us to be intentional about our connection to ourselves, others, and the world around us. This summer 2026, we are taking that mission literally—by taking our practice outside on the 3rd Tuesday evenings of each month.
Art in Motion: Reclaiming Your Creativity on the Dance Floor
Art in Motion (AIM) is a specialized program within the Open Floor movement curriculum. While "Open Floor" is a conscious dance practice that uses movement to explore what it means to be human, AIM takes it a step further. It blends our movement resources with writing, theatre, and visual arts.
The Landscape of Loss: Understanding the Multi-Dimensional Impact of Grief
At Coriander Living Collective, we believe that healing from grief isn't about "moving on," but about integrating the loss into a life well-lived. Whether it’s through Brainspotting (to process the deep-seated loss), Open Floor Movement (to let the body speak when words fail), or Bibliotherapy, we are here to help you navigate these seven dimensions.
If you are feeling unmoored, remember: your system is doing exactly what it was designed to do—it is responding to a profound change. You don't have to carry the weight alone.

ANNOUNCING: Goodwill Donation Based MOVEMEANT: Open Floor Moving Meditation Cycle + Self-Brainspotting!
At Coriander Living Collective, we often talk about resourcing your body and engaging the rhythm of regulation. Whether we are in a Brainspotting session or dancing Open Floor, we are working directly with the intricate, brilliant wiring of your nervous system.
While most people think of the nervous system as just the brain, it is actually a vast, multi-layered network. Understanding the eight key subsystems of this network can help you make sense of why you feel stuck, on edge, or disconnected—and more importantly, how you can find your way back to a life well lived.
Here is a breakdown of the eight subsystems that keep you moving, sensing, and surviving.
Inherited Wisdom, Embodied Healing: Brainspotting for Pre-Natal and Ancestral Trauma
When we think about our personal history, we often start the timeline at our first clear memory—perhaps a birthday party at age five or the first day of school. But at Coriander Living Collective, we look at the "whole-person system," and that system has a history that stretches back much further than your conscious mind can remember.
In fact, your story began long before you took your first breath. It began in the womb, and in the lives of the ancestors who came before you.
