It’s back - and we’re so excited to open the doors again. ✨

Earn your 0.65 CEUs and 0.65 PCCs!

Our Introduction to TR Private Practice workshop returns on December 12, and if you’ve been curious about what TR could look like beyond the traditional path… this day is for you.

This continuing education session content is pre-approved by both Therapeutic Recreation Ontario and the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification.

✨ Open to all
✨ Date: December 12, 2025
✨ Time: 9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. EST
✨ Location: Virtual (Zoom link will be provided upon registration)

A full day to pause, explore, map possibilities, and get real about the next steps in your TR journey.

This workshop has become a community favourite because it gives TR professionals and students something rare: space to ask questions, imagine new directions, and learn from real practice.

✨And here’s the best part - after completing this introductory workshop, you’ll be ready to join our next-level session, Business Mechanics for TR Private Practice, where you can earn 0.75 CEUs and dive deeper into building and sustaining your own practice.

We brought this course back because so many of you asked for it — and because we believe in growing what’s possible in TR, together.

If you’ve been feeling that pull toward private practice… here’s your sign.
Let’s learn, grow, and reimagine what’s possible in TR together!

Painting by Intuition

Jessie Jones is a London Ontario based Contemporary Abstract Artist. Jessie enjoys creating thought provoking artwork that conjures self reflection and connectivity to nature.

Much of Jessie's work is inspired daily by mood, intentions, femininity and lessons being taught by the universe. Using various mediums to execute her work, Jessie loves to experiment and allow herself to enjoy the process without paying particular attention to the final product.

Jessie uses her artwork as a tool to ground herself and slow her pace down from her otherwise busy lifestyle as a full time Chef, mother of two daughters and Wife.
