The Green Phoenix
Empowering creativity, connection, and self-expression through art.
Experiential Training
Where lived experience shapes how we learn, listen, and connect.
Designed for organizations, providers, and communities seeking deeper understanding and more human-centered approaches to mental health.
Experiential training uses lived experience as a powerful teaching tool. Through personal stories, hands-on workshops, and keynote sessions, these experiences build understanding, strengthen connection, and foster meaningful dialogue around mental health.
What Is Experiential Training?
Learning by Doing
Experiential training emphasizes learning through direct experience rather than observation alone. While reading or hearing about a topic can be informative, engaging with lived experience adds depth and understanding that words alone cannot capture.
Perspective That Sticks
Just as seeing photos of the Grand Canyon differs from standing there in person, lived experience offers context that goes beyond description, leaving a lasting impact.
Engage and Reflect
These trainings provide space for reflection and insight. Participants explore new perspectives through guided activities, discussion, and real-world examples drawn from lived experience.
