Come join fellow IFS nerds as we talk about the current state of IFS research, and our visions and desires for its future.

As part of this program, I’ll be giving a presentation on my dissertation research, on IFS meditation, self-compassion, and decentering in a trauma exposed sample.

This program is part of the larger IFS Conference. If it becomes possible to participate in this program virtually, or separately from participating in the larger IFS conference, I will post that information here!

This is a split-bill dance + movement performance, featuring choreography by Krista Jansen and Lou Sydel. Rakhel Shapiro is performing in Krista Jansen’s work.

Krista Jansen plays with a dance that floats and curls around a seesaw. As Nina Simone musically sets up a structure and then absolutely tears it down to play all over it, and buttoned shirts multiply, Annie Wang has described “Seeing a person wholly realized through movement, revealed in the whirlwind.”

Gesture Theater presents a dance-theater-clown piece complete with masks, linguistics, and big suits. In a testament to queer futurity, we “admit that … ‘transsexual is not identity but desire is to admit just how much of transition takes place in the waiting room of wanting things.” (Andrea Long Chu).

Studio Time is a half-day creative retreat.

We’ll start with some facilitation for connecting with yourself and your creative practice.

Then we’ll have a solid block of open time where we’ll all experiment and create. Choose your medium, choose your setting, we’ll do it alone-together — the adult creative version of parallel play.

Then we’ll come back together and share about the process and experience.

This is time to engage in whatever creative project your heart desires. Write some poetry, choreograph a dance, draw, sew, decorate a room you’ve been neglecting. Whatever you’ve been wanting time for, this is the time for that — with the support of others creating by your side, but without interrupting you.

This program is on Zoom, and you’ll get the link when you register.
