Alternatives to Addiction and Shame

Monday October 28, 2024- 12-2pm

As I have learned from my own teachers, shame lives in family systems not as an individual entity, but rather as a part of the collective ecosystem. Shame may exist without addiction, but addiction is usually accompanied by shame.

According to Family Constellations expert Suzi Tucker, addiction is a resource. (An unhealthy resource, but a resource nonetheless.) It is often cultivated to cope with shame, grief, or a whole host of equally difficult circumstances. Like shame, addiction lives in family systems not in isolation, but permeates multiple spheres.

In this workshop we’ll explore the relationship between addiction and shame. We’ll look at addiction as a resource for both individuals and family systems, and identify more generative alternative resources that come from deeper in the ancestry as well as from the present moment.

The Power of Reciprocity: Balancing Giving and Taking in Partnerships

Monday December 2- 11am-1pm

All relationships between peers are maintained through a balance of give and take. When one party gives (or takes) more than the other for an extended period of time, the relationship inevitably falls apart.

Whether our relationship is with a spouse, a friend, or a colleague, we form both overt and covert agreements with each other. As people grow over time, it serves both the individuals and the relationship to update these agreements. When this doesn’t happen, the relationship suffers. 

In this workshop we’ll explore: How the balance of give and take protects our love for eachother, and how we can bring balance to our relationships that feel imbalanced.
