Communities of Practice
Communities of Practice are specialized groups of CASC/ACSS Members who come together for mutual support, education and research.

Supervisor-Educators
This Community is meant to educate, support and encourage its members in the art and science of effective supervisory education.
Art & Spirituality
This Community is meant to build a supportive, knowledge sharing community of interdisciplinary practitioners/students. We hope to allow members to experience immersion and praxis in arts-based spiritual practices and encourage shareing and discussion of resources.
Eating Disorders
Spiritual Professionals interested in exploring interventions and approaches for those living with eating disorders are welcome to join.
Sacred/Entheogenic Medicines & Psychedelic Therapy
The purpose of this community is to advise on, and support the CASC/ACSS Board and commissions with: 1. advocating for the spiritual (a.k.a. “entheogenic”) and cultural use of sacred and psychedelic medicines in relation to the professional scope of spiritual care, psychospiritual therapy, and spiritually-integrated psychotherapy; 2. actively guiding the emerging clinical fields of psychedelic-assisted therapies towards safer, ethical and effective practices.
