In Person Fellowship by The Lake in Oakland
2022-11-12 16:30 - 18:30
In- Person Bay Area ACA Fellowship by Lake Merritt
When: Saturday, November 12th, 2022 from 1:30 to 3:30
Where: Lake Merritt, on the grass near Lake Merritt Amphitheater
Why: ACA recovery and fellowship! The loss of many in person meetings over the last few years has deprived many of an in-person place to work an ACA program, be of service, and engage in fellowship. Forming new meetings can be difficult.
This event intends to create an opportunity for ACA fellowship and serve as a simple template for similar events in the future.
What: A short meeting with sharing and fellowship afterwards.
Expect to participate in a 60-minute meeting (with a secretary and abridged script). We can break into smaller groups for sharing during the meeting if that feels more appropriate.
We will plan an hour for in-person fellowship after the meeting.
Plan to bring something to sit on and anything else to make time outside by the lake in November comfortable for you.

Puppets Workshop 1 - Tapping into Subconscious
2022-11-19 13:00 - 15:00
Download Flyer Here

Many of us are familiar with writing with our non-dominant hand to find out what our Inner Children want from us and what they are thinking. The idea behind that, as we know, is that the subconscious is where our Inner Children, and our feelings and memories are. Many of us tried non-dominant hand-writing and found that it is difficult and a slow way to communicate with our Inner Children. We have found that using a sock puppet on our non-dominant hand to represent our Inner Child and a sock puppet on our dominant hand to represent our loving parent allows us to communicate easily and quickly.
We have found that Puppet Workshops with supportive participants and a safe and protected environment, encourages Inner Children to feel safe, comfortable, and able to talk freely. Because the Inner Child speaks from our subconscious, we are able to have a spontaneous dialogue with them and communicate in order to discover what our Inner Children want from us. Our loving parents, then, are able to negotiate with them, soothe them if it is necessary, give them the attention they need, and find out what makes them happy and/or unhappy.
We have found that using the audience of safe and friendly workshop participants gives our loving parents and Inner Children courage and support.
