Equine Brainspotting Intensive: Transform Your Practice, Expand Your Healing

June 11–15, 2026 | Idyllwild, California | Limited to 10 participants

This isn’t just a training. It’s a life-changing immersion.

Join Cynthia Schwartzberg, LCSW, for a five-day Brainspotting Intensive in the peaceful mountain town of Idyllwild, California. In a small, supportive group, you’ll deepen your skills, strengthen your attunement, and experience profound personal growth.

This unique intensive continues the tradition begun by Dr. David Grand, offering both classic Brainspotting practice and the option to include equine-supported sessions for expanded healing and awareness.

What Makes This Intensive Unique

Alongside giving and receiving Brainspotting sessions, you’ll have the rare opportunity to explore how horses can expand and enrich the process.

Equines naturally:

  • Enrich the Dual Attunement Frame
  • Deepen Focused Mindful Processing
  • Embody and expand the Uncertainty Principle
  • Magnify relational and neurobiological attunement
  • Offer powerful co-regulation
  • Provide a living lens into Limbic Countertransference

No horse experience required. All equine work is ground-based and fully supported.

 

Who This Intensive Is For

This program is designed for:

  • Therapists, coaches, and healers trained in Brainspotting (Phase 1 or higher recommended)
  • Brainspotting Practitioners seeking depth practice, supervision, and attunement refinement
  • Clinicians working toward Brainspotting Certification
  • Brainspotting therapists curious about equine-supported co-regulation

 

What You’ll Experience

Over five immersive days, you’ll:

  • Give and receive Brainspotting sessions in a small group setting
  • Participate in live demonstrations with Q&A opportunities
  • Observe, reflect, and integrate through group discussions
  • Explore equine-supported Brainspotting (optional, ground-based)
  • Build community, connection, and resources for your ongoing practice

 

See Equine Brainspotting in Action

Watch this short video of Cara Wilkerson and her daughter, Ash, as they experience equine-supported Brainspotting. Notice how each movement from Eva, the horse, mirrors and supports the inner processing, offering visible, real-time co-regulation.

Ash reflected after her session:

“I could see what was happening in me, in her (Eva).”
