Registration Details:
We are offering a number of registration options to accommodate different forms of participation over the holiday weekend. Friday's events are free to all parties interested in psychoanalysis, however, we do ask attendees still register for Friday's events, as space will be limited. Saturday and Sunday's events at NCP are accompanied by a fee and will also offer CEs to clinicians at the master's level​​​​ (LMFT, LCSW, and LPCC). Additionally, registration for Saturday and Sunday will be available at a discounted rate until March 18th, one month prior to the beginning of the series.

Online Participation:​​
This is primarily an in-person event, however online participation is being considered for out-of-state attendees. For now, online participation is being treated in the fashion of LA Dodgers radio broadcasts: the more in-person attendance we have, the more we will open up additional channels for online participation.​​
