Authentic Relating with Terry Baranski
When: Saturday September 14th
Time: 1pm to 3:30pm
Register here:
In this IFS-informed Authentic Relating workshop, Terry Baranski will provide a brief overview of Internal Family Systems (IFS), which is a revolutionary way of looking at the mind - as consisting of parts, rather than being a single thing - and getting to know ourselves in a deep/authentic way. We'll then split up into rotating pairs for various IFS-informed Authentic Relating exercises, which will focus on intimate relationships. These exercises will enable us to deeply relate to each other in a parts-aware way - by speaking to each other about, from, and for our various parts, and allowing our parts to be truly heard and witnessed by another.
This location is metro accessible, and street parking is available. Seating is a mixture of couches and floor space - yoga mats are available for those on the floor.
Doors open at 12:45. Please give yourself extra time for DC-area commuting - we'd like to start the event promptly at 1pm. Allergy Note: There is a cat in the house.
About your Facilitator:
Terry Baranski is an Internal Family Systems practitioner who works 1-on-1, and in groups, with people all over the world to address their mental health challenges. IFS is an approach to therapy and self-growth which offers a unique perspective on the mind - one that opens the door to self-compassion and self-understanding rather than judgment and shame. It's a wonderful technique to help us get in touch with our true selves, see the big picture, and get to know our minds in a more intimate way.

Circling with Rebo: All-Levels Circling
When: Thursday, September 25th
Time: 7pm, Doors open 6:45pm
Tickets are $15
Reserve yours by Venmo-ing @rebeccahassell
The goal of Circling is for a group of people to see the world through each other's eyes, and for you to see the world through other people’s eyes. We flourish under the influence of caring, curious, and non-judgmental attention – and so does the connection between us.
Your reflection is what you see in the mirror. To give someone a reflection is to tell them what you think they said – but like an old mirror, we often unintentionally shift, change, or distort their words. This is because our memories are imperfect, we may have expected them to say something different, or we might have leapt to a judgement without even realizing it. We don’t often reflect aloud, and so we reply based on what we think we heard, they reply on what they think we meant – and then we find ourselves in a confusing conversational funhouse.
At this all-levels circling session, we’re going to slow down and check in with what we think we heard and think the other person meant, with the goal of better understanding and intentionality.
This session is open to everyone, from first-timers to circlilng experts. If money is tight, please contact me for pay-what-you-can options.
