Your Washington, DC Getaway

Pair with the 2027 Psychotherapy Networker Symposium! Walk from one to the other without repacking a bag!

Tucked beside Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, the Omni Shoreham Hotel offers a different pace than the typical DC trip, away from the crowds of the National Mall, though still just minutes from it when you want museums or monuments. It's also easy to get to, close to the airport, and a short Metro ride from everywhere else you'll want to be.

Between sessions, you'll find terrace dining, garden paths, and quiet space to process the material you're learning, details that matter for a training built around nervous system regulation and reflective work. And since Dr. Schwartz's training is held at the same hotel as the 2027 Psychotherapy Networker Symposium, you can go straight from one event to the other without changing hotels.

Whether you're attending solo or with colleagues, it's a setting built for focus during the day and genuine rest at night.

Washington, DC 20008
