NEW EDITORIAL
BY LISA WEINER & NEUFELD FACULTY
As we begin another not-quite-usual holiday season we wanted to share with you, once again, some seasonal offerings from our homes to yours. In looking at the writings that Neufeld Institute faculty submitted this year, it became clear that what I had in front of me was a collection of togetherness rituals— annual activities that weave together attachment (being known, being significant, love and closeness) and play (expressive, safe, engaging and not outcome-based) making for treasured winter family touchstones. I hope you enjoy reading about the faculty’s togetherness rituals as much as I did . . . perhaps you will see some of your family rituals in a new light and perhaps you will be inspired to create new rituals this season– ones that have connection and joy at their heart. ...

What's included with a Scheduled Online Class registration?
In addition to a weekly live class with a Neufeld faculty member, you receive a 4-month study pass (or 8 months for Intensive courses) to our Virtual Campus featuring Dr. Neufeld's video material, discussion forums, study guides, supplementary resources, and much more. Participants view Dr. Neufeld's recorded presentations prior to the scheduled support session with a faculty member.

Not able to attend the live class due to a scheduling conflict? No problem! Classes are recorded so you can catch up later in the week when it works best for you.

Have you completed Intensive I and been hoping to start Intensive II? Now is the time! Building on the foundations of our Intensive I flagship course, the Intensive II course sheds light upon the profound impact of separation on a child's personality and behaviour. Special attention is given to the problems of aggression, resistance, oppositionality, bullying, distractability, impulsiveness, anxiety, alarm problems, alpha problems, attachment problems, and more. Read the full course outline HERE.

We’re excited to let you know about the Kid-Lit Book Club, which will kick off in February 2022. Join hosts Tamara Strijack and Sara Easterly, together with other members of the Neufeld Institute Book Reviewing Team, to read and discuss middle-grade and young-adult literature from a Neufeld perspective.
Honouring Gail Carney, who founded the Children’s Literature & Neufeld’s Approach collection on campus, book club discussions will centre around how various attachment dynamics are presented in the selected novels written for adolescents, and how they work (or don’t) from both a developmental and literary perspective.
Meetings take place via Zoom on the first Thursdays of each month from 4:30-5:30 p.m. Pacific Time. Open to anyone on our Virtual Campus (current students and subscribers). Free, but pre-registration is required. You don’t have to read the books to participate, but it will be more meaningful (and spoiler-free!) if you have.
To learn more about the Kid-Lit Book Club, including our reading schedule, and to register for our first discussion on February 3, 2022 of Mighty Inside by Sundee T. Frazier, visit this page on campus*.
*Are you interested in joining this book club, but don't have access to our Virtual Campus? Ongoing membership to the campus is available to all those who have been to a Neufeld conference or taken a Neufeld course – online as a campus course, onsite as a videocourse, or live from Dr. Neufeld or one of our faculty. Annual subscriptions are $150, discounted to $120 if initiated or renewed while on campus. Click HERE to read details about our Virtual Campus.

CREATING FAMILY RITUALS
FOR EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
BY JODI BERGMAN
In our fast-paced world, performing simple family rituals helps us pause for a moment and reconnect with ourselves and our loved ones. Daily, weekly, and seasonal rituals can assist us as we identify and carve out time for what matters most in our family unit.
In this session from Neufeld Conference 2021, Jodi Bergman explores what it means to put our core values into practice in a fun, meaningful way and how to create family rituals that are in service of our emotional health and well-being.
Our 2022 conference will take place online from May 12-14, 2022. Be sure to save the date!
