Self, other, world:

A cultural immersion intensive

Mexico City, Mexico

October 30 - November 2, 2026

We had so much fun in 2025, we’re doing it again. Join us for a magical adventure in Mexico!

mEXICO CITY

“Self, World, Other is a cultural immersive intensive for helping professionals who take multicultural competence seriously.”

Stop learning about cultural competence from textbooks. Start living it!

What if your next CE requirements could transform not just your practice, but your entire perspective on the world? Our exclusive "Self, Other, World" retreats take you beyond theoretical multicultural training into authentic cultural immersion that changes how you connect with every client who walks through your door.

Picture yourself earning APA-accredited continuing education credits while navigating bustling markets in Mexico, sharing authentic meals prepared by locals, or participating in traditional ceremonies that textbooks can't capture. These aren't tourist experiences with training tacked on—they're carefully designed four-day, three-night experiential odysseys where real cultural encounters become your classroom.

With a limited number of participants per retreat, you'll dive deep into meaningful connections while having plenty of unscheduled time to explore, reflect, or simply absorb the transformative power of stepping outside your familiar world. Because the most profound cultural competence doesn't come from studying other cultures—it comes from discovering parts of yourself you never knew existed.

Ready to earn your CE hours while expanding your world? Secure your spot in our next "Self, Other, World" retreat.

your training

(what we’ll do, how we’ll do it)

Using Sue et al.’s (2009) well-established tenets of multicultural competence as a guide, our three-day training focuses on the following three domains:

  • Awareness

    Discover Your Cultural Lens

    What assumptions am I carrying into the therapy room?

    We’ll guide you through a transformative half-day journey of self-discovery using powerful insight-building interventions—CBT techniques, Internal Family Systems work, mindfulness practices, and reflective journaling. Together, we'll uncover the cultural worldview we bring to every session and examine how our personal ideologies and values shape what we see, hear, and feel with each client.

    This isn't just intellectual exercise—you'll experience real-time awareness of how your cultural lens influences your therapeutic presence.

  • Knowledge

    Step Into Their World

    How can I truly understand my clients' lived experiences?

    Learning about culture from textbooks only takes you so far. That's why we've designed an immersive afternoon "field trip" that places you directly in the heart of your host culture. You'll witness firsthand how this community views mental health, what they expect from helping professionals, and how historical and political contexts have shaped their relationship with healing.

    Experience becomes your teacher as you develop a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the worldviews your multicultural clients navigate daily.

  • Skills

    Bridge Worlds Through Practice

    How do I translate cultural understanding into effective therapeutic interventions?

    In our experiential processing groups, we'll work alongside you to develop the practical skills that make all the difference. You'll learn to think flexibly about mental health across cultures, discover how to communicate authentically with diverse populations, and master culturally relevant therapeutic interventions that truly resonate with your clients' experiences.

    This isn't theoretical—you'll practice, process, and refine these skills in a supportive environment designed to build your confidence and competence.

  • Grievance Procedure 

    The Crane and the Bull, CORP (TC+TB) is fully committed to conducting all activities in strict conformance with the American Psychological Association's Ethical Principles of Psychologists as well as the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics. TC+TB will comply with all legal and ethical responsibilities to be non-discriminatory in promotional activities, program content and in the treatment of program participants. The monitoring and assessment of compliance with these standards will be the responsibility of all staff and presenters representing TC+TB.

     
    While TC+TB goes to great lengths to assure fair treatment for all participants and attempts to anticipate problems, there will be occasional issues which come to the attention of the training staff which require intervention and/or action on the part of the training staff or an officer of TC+TB. This procedural description serves as a guideline for handling such grievances.

    1. When a participant, either orally or in written format, files a grievance and expects action on the complaint, the following actions will be taken.
    If the grievance concerns a speaker, the content presented by the speaker, or the style of presentation, the individual filing the grievance will be asked to put his/her comments in written format. The CE Chair will then pass on the comments to the speaker, assuring the confidentiality of the grieved individual.

    2. If the grievance concerns a workshop offering, its content, level of presentation, or the facilities in which the workshop was offered, the convention chair will mediate and will be the final arbitrator. If the participant requests action, the convention chair will:

    a) attempt to move the participant to another workshop or
    b) provide a credit for a subsequent year's workshop or
    c) provide a partial or full refund of the workshop fee.

    Actions 2b and 2c will require a written note, documenting the grievance, for record keeping purposes. The note need not be signed by the grieved individual.  

    3. If the grievance concerns TC+TB CE program, in a specific regard, the Owner will attempt to arbitrate.
