Upcoming Workshops

Reimagining ACT | Arizona, USA in March 28-29, 2026

In this two-day workshop, Steven C. Hayes will invite you to reimagine ACT as a process-based therapy. You’ll explore how psychological flexibility processes connect to core human yearnings, and how to apply these concepts effectively in-session.

ACTBootCamp® | New York City in May 4-7, 2026

This ACT BootCamp was scheduled on a Monday through Thursday so that those who have religious observances that make our usual Thursday through Sunday schedule impossible to attend can join us this time! It's also our first ever BootCamp in New York City, so register soon. It's going to be a sellout event.

Process-Based ACT | Regina, Canada in May 29-30, 2026

Join Steve for two days of training, dialog, and hands on learning designed to expand your skillset as a provider while amplifying the impact of the evidence-based strategies you most like to use in your practice. For those in Canada who don't feel safe crossing the border right now, we're coming to you!
