2024 BSP International Networking Consultation Group Schedule (formerly SoCal)

Date: Monthly, generally on the first Friday of the month

Time: 8am-10am Pacific Time

Pre-Requisite: Phase 1

There's no fee to attend these consultation groups & we'll use the same Zoom link each time! This group is generally the first Friday of the month. International friends are welcome!

You may have noticed that we’ve updated the group’s name from SoCal to International. What started as a local Southern California group in 2008 has blossomed into a global community since moving online in 2020. The new name better represents our international reach and the amazing members from all around the world. We’re excited for this new chapter!

In 2024, we will be using the RMBI resource library to review one Brainspotting related research article each month. You are welcome to join whether or not you have read the article beforehand.
