IFS x Desire - You Get to Have a Life You Actually Want!
This half-day retreat is all about connecting with a life you actually want.
Using tools from Internal Family Systems and mindfulness meditation, we’ll connect with what pleasure and enjoyment feel like for you. We’ll learn more about any internal and external obstacles to you moving towards what you enjoy in your life. And we’ll support you to bring clarity and agency into the life you’re building for yourself in this new year.
I can’t wait to help you connect with what you want, what you don’t want, what feels good, and anything that needs to be healed to move towards this.
Note: This program is currently only open to folks in New York State
Introduction to IFS for Meditators
I’m super excited to be offering an introductory workshop on Internal Family Systems (IFS) — specifically for meditators!
I’ll be co-leading this workshop with dear friend and Level 3 Certified IFS Therapist Michelle Barsky, LMHC, LPC.
You may remember, Michelle and I facilitated this program a few months back. People loved it, and I’m so happy to have the opportunity to share it with more of you.
In this workshop, you’ll get an introduction to the IFS model, an experiential taste of IFS work, and specifics on how IFS and meditation intersect and enhance each other — and diverge.
Plus, time to ask me and Michelle all your questions — nerdy, neurotic, nit-picky, enamored, ask us anything!
Sunday, November 9, 12-2pm ET
On Zoom
P.S. Everyone who registers will get a recording of the Zoom session that you can listen to on your own time anytime
Gesture Theater + Krista Jansen
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).

IFS Research Meeting: Connection, Collaboration and Mapping Next Steps
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!
Studio Time: Half-Day Creative Retreat
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.
