Will You Be Your Loving Parent?
2026-02-14 10:00 - 12:00
Will You Be Your Loving Parent?
A Valentine Workshop for Adult Children
This Valentine’s Day, we turn inward.
Many of us grew up longing for safety, care, and attunement that were inconsistent or missing. As adult children, we often look for that love outside ourselves—hoping someone else will finally give us what we did not receive.
In this workshop, we pause and ask a different question:
Will We Be Our Own Loving Parent?
Together, we will explore what it means to show up for ourselves with compassion, protection, and consistency. Using ACA principles, Loving Parent work, and gentle reflection, we will practice offering ourselves the care our inner children have always needed.
This workshop is an invitation to:
• Deepen our relationship with our Loving Parent and inner Children
• Strengthen emotional safety and self-trust
• Reclaim Valentine’s Day as a moment of self-commitment and care
You are warmly welcome exactly as you are.
No prior experience is needed—only a willingness to show up for yourself.

Honor Your Pet Day
2026-02-22 13:00 - 14:30
In ACA we spend a lot of time talking about our “relationships” – relationships with our families, friends, coworkers, partners…but what about our non-human relationships?
The connections that we make with our pets are some of the most heartwarming, joyous, helpful, and heartbreaking relationships we will have in our lives.
We invite you to join us to spend a few minutes talking about and celebrating any of the animal friends you have had in your life. We’d love to hear a little bit about them and the love, joy, and comfort they’ve given you.
All are welcome – hope to see you there!

Inner Family Time Workshop: Connecting the Loving Parent & Inner Child Workshop
2026-04-15 21:30 - 23:30
An ACA Workshop on Zoom sponsored by the ACA Arizona Intergroup (IG #9)
During this 2-hour workshop we will practice connecting with higher power, expressing the inner child or inner teen, and embodying the inner loving parent.
After a meditation to guide you to connect with your higher power, loving parent, and inner child or teen, you will have 30 minutes to play, create, dance, journal or whatever else your inner child would like to do, while witnessed and affirmed by your loving parent. Following a visualization to integrate all of these parts within you, time is open for those who wish to share what the experience was like for them.
To prepare for the workshop you may want to ask your inner child or teen what supplies they would like to have available during the Inner Family Time. If they aren’t sure, you can select some art supplies, a favorite plushie, a device to listen to music, and anything else your inner child has enjoyed in the past. There is no wrong thing to do during Inner Family Time. Our purpose is to create a safe space for our inner child or inner teen to express themselves and to be witnessed and supported by inner loving parent and higher power.
