Precise scheduling to be arranged. No charge to registrants of Celebration XV.
PCI #1 EXAMINING RACE AND CULTURE IN COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE FROM THE INSIDE OUT
What is needed to change Collaborative Practice to a more inclusive
professional community serving a broad and diverse clientele? We
will look at how our own race, culture, and history affect our beliefs,
thoughts, reactions, and behaviors, the impediments to talking about
race and culture, and how the functioning of our societies and
systems within them impact us and our racial and cultural
relationships in the context of Collaborative Practice. Then we will
Catherine Conner, Gary J. Natalia explore the change to a more inclusive Collaborative community.

PCI #2 DOLPHIN ADVOCACY: FINALLY TRANSITIONING FROM LITIGATION TO AN ALL ADR PRACTICE
People – including lawyers – are good and wish to do good in the world. So many of us along the
way, however, lose connection with our better natures. We are trained to operate in an adversarial
model as “sharks”. Learn how to operate from a totally different paradigm as a “dolphin” and
finally transition from conflict to a peacemaking practice. Learn how to realign with your better nature,
do less harm in your practice and transition to an all ADR practice.
Shawn Weber,
JD
PCI #3 AGREEMENT READINESS
Incorporating recent findings from neuroscience, participants will
be guided through innovative techniques that can assist and support
clients, even high-conflict clients, to shift towards Agreement
Readiness early in the process. This program offers coaching skills
appropriate for each profession to manage even hidden obstacles
at the outset – an aspect that is missing from most general
collaborative trainings. Through the use of advanced worksheets
Carol Hughes, Cathleen Diana L. and new techniques, participants will learn to improve cost efficiency

their collaborative clients.

Eureka Honorees
The Eureka Award recognizes and honors those who “have made significant contributions and
demonstrated an abiding dedication to establishing and sustaining Collaborative
Practice in California.”
The Eureka Award is not limited to those in any particular practice or career. Previous honorees
include members of the core disciplines—mental health, financial, and legal—as well as those who are
not licensed in these professions.
The Eureka Award was established in 2006 as part of the very first Celebration of Collaborative Prac-
tice in Sonoma, California, and actually pre-dates the founding of CP Cal. In its first two years, the
Eureka Award Committee chose to play “catch up” and honored several recipients each year.
In 2008, the CP Cal Board chose to limit the Eureka Award to three to five Honorees.

Our Family in Two Homes is a comprehensive workbook that combines important
self-reflection questions and exercises with customized legal information,
for collaborative professionals and mediators to use with separating parents.
Our Family in A Few Homes uses the same approach as Two Homes, but
focuses instead on the unique needs of separating couples with adult children.
Designing Our Future Together is a resource to use with couples who are moving in
together, getting married, or looking for a relationship refresh or marital mediation.
All three resources provide clients with invaluable preparation to have the deeper
discussions that matter, enhancing the role of each professional, and providing a
structure, approach, and common language that improves communication at all levels.
