Following on from the live presentations of this workshop over 4 individual sessions, Onlinevents will be presenting this workshop in a 2-day online format in October 19. We are excited about the opportunity to present the workshop in this way as it most closely resembles the format in real life.
In this interview, Maggi and John shared the experience of the first two presentations of the workshop: what we've learned, the feedback from the participants about the online format, and how we may develop other workshops in the future.
We were able to give some practical pointers about how to prepare for the 2-day workshop and things to consider during the workshop. If you're considering the 2-day format, tune into the interview for further information.
Course Content
Presenter
Maggi McAllister-MacGregor is a highly experienced counsellor, supervisor, and trainer in private practice, with over 25 years of working in the field. With a strong foundation in neuroscience and biology dating back to her first degree in the 1970s, Maggi has developed a particular passion for Polyvagal Theory and its role in understanding how we navigate life’s experiences.
Her expertise in bereavement work is rooted in years of hands-on work in hospices, where she provided compassionate care to individuals nearing the end of life as well as bereaved families and friends. In addition, she has served as a supervisor for Cruse Bereavement, further deepening her understanding of grief and loss.
Maggi’s approach integrates scientific insight with therapeutic practice, helping professionals better understand how bereavement impacts the autonomic nervous system— both psychologically and physiologically. Her workshops offer an engaging, informed, and compassionate perspective on working with grief through the lens of Polyvagal Theory.
