Intro to parts work with IFS - Exploring our inner landscape with Internal Family Systems - 04.12.24.
2024-12-04 19:00 - 21:00 UTC | Imago Space, Glogauer Str. 21, 1st Courtyard, door on the right, 1st floor, Berlin, 10999, Germany
Intro to parts work with IFS – Exploring our inner landscape with Internal Family Systems
IFS is hot right now in therapeutic contexts. And for good reason. It is a beautiful approach that allows us to get to know our inner world in a compassionate, non-judgemental and intuitive way. By learning to engage with our inner parts – different sub-personalities within us – and connecting with our SELF – a state characterised by curiosity, compassion and connectedness – we can clarify our inner landscape and help our parts relax and heal.
In the workshop we will learn some basic IFS theory, get to know some of our parts and get in touch with our SELF – and hopefully have some fun.
Here’s how a past participant described her experience in the workshop:
“The atmosphere in the small group was very empathetic and pleasant. I was actually able to gain some new insights that evening and now understand my inner conflicts better. IFS seems to me to be a really transformative method – I am very excited to continue applying what I have learnt!” – Amelie

Whatever the problem, community is the answer - An introduction to community-building with Microsolidarity
2025-07-23 18:30 - 20:30 | Online
In the face of today’s overlapping crises, e.g. the climate emergency, social fragmentation and a widespread sense of disconnection, the need for community is greater than ever. But how do we actually build community? How do we create spaces where people feel safe, seen and supported? How do we cultivate groups that are resilient, regenerative and real?
​In this two-hour workshop, we’ll explore these questions through the lens of Microsolidarity—a framework for building small mutual aid communities rooted in trust, care and belonging.
​After a short introductory talk we’ll move into guided practices to cultivate wholesome spaces—within ourselves, in pairs, and in small groups.
​Whether you’re already building community, longing for more connection, or simply curious, you’re warmly invited to join.

The Art & Science of the Weekly Review - a weekly ritual to bring clarity and calm into your work and life
2025-07-25 15:00 - 17:00 | Online
In a world of constant input and infinite projects and to-dos, it’s easy to feel scattered or overwhelmed. If we want to bring our gifts into the world and move towards a more beautiful future, we don’t just need spiritual or relational work — we also need practices that support clarity, consistency and efficiency. The weekly review is one of those practices.
​It’s a simple ritual that helps us integrate the past, clear our mental and emotional clutter and reconnect to what truly matters. Best practiced at the end of the week, it supports both productivity and peace of mind — so we can enter the weekend relaxed and begin the new week with a clear intention.
​In this workshop, co-hosted with Ivan Gonzalez, we’ll explore the why and how of the weekly review. You’ll learn best practices drawn from tried-and-tested methods, reflect on your own working patterns and craft a weekly review process that truly works for you.
​Whether you’re craving more focus, structure, or simply a fresh start — this session is a great entry point. It also kicks off our shared practice of weekly reviews in the weeks ahead.
​You’ll leave with a clearer mind, a sense of completion, a personal review process and hopefully… a more relaxed weekend 🙂

Ship It Day - Getting Things Done Together
2025-08-04 09:00 - 12:00 | Online
Start your week with focus, momentum, and mutual encouragement. As part of Mutual Support Month, Ship It Days will take place every Monday in August, 9:00–12:00 CEST.
Ship It Days are simple: come together, set your intentions, and get things done. You’re invited to bring whatever you want to “ship” – whether it’s a task you’ve been putting off, a project that’s nearly ready to launch, or simply something that needs your focused attention.
We’ll start each session by checking in and sharing what we’re working on, then dive into focused work, taking breaks for encouragement, support, or a bit of advice if needed. At the end, we come back together to share and celebrate what we’ve accomplished.
It’s often surprising how much more productive (and enjoyable) it is to work alongside others, even virtually. Ship It Days are all about gentle accountability, mutual cheerleading, and starting the week with forward motion and a sense of accomplishment.
Come along and let’s grow and ship together!

Mutual Support - Sharing Needs & Gifts
2025-08-05 18:30 - 20:00 | Online
A practical session on giving and receiving support
​Many of us long for a shift towards an age of abundance. But what if we’re already living in abundance and simply need to learn to see it? Each of us has wants and needs, and each of us has gifts to offer. When we begin to freely exchange them, abundance becomes real.
​This workshop is a participatory inquiry into three guiding questions:

​How can we become more aware of our needs and gifts?
​How can we share and exchange them with one another?
​How can we create structures that enable ongoing mutual support and care?

​We’ll explore these questions together through a mix of dialogue, structured journaling and mutual support practices.
​The energy exchange for this workshop is (of course) give-what-feels-right.

Let’s live in abundance – right here, right now 🌱

🧭 Overview
We are living in a time of overlapping crises – climate collapse, social polarisation and a growing epidemic of loneliness and depression. In the face of current challenges, Margaret Wheatley reminds us: “Whatever the problem, community is the answer.” But how do we actually build community – real, nourishing, resilient community – in our daily lives? This question is the starting point of our inquiry in the Growing Communities of Mutual Support workshop series.
The series is for anyone who longs for deeper connection, more meaningful support, and the kind of shared growth that happens when we truly show up for each other. Whether you’re looking to strengthen existing relationships or plant new seeds of belonging, this series will offer you useful tools, real-life practice and a community to grow with.
🌾 What to Expect
Over six weeks, on Tuesday evenings, we’ll gather in person to explore the art of building community through mutual support – drawing from Microsolidarity, Internal Family Systems, Nonviolent Communication, Theory U, The Art of Hosting and more.
Through interactive, small group practice, self-reflection and whole-group exchange, we’ll explore:

How to create welcoming group spaces rooted in trust and belonging

How to surface opportunities to help each other grow

What brings out our pro-social tendencies, like helpfulness and care

How to take these practices into our life, work and neighbourhoods

In addition to the in-person meetings, you’ll get access to an online space for access to resources and staying in touch between sessions.
🌟 What You’ll Learn
By the end of the journey, you will have:

Practised diverse formats for mutual support and community-building

Strengthened your capacity for deep listening and authentic sharing

Learned to clarify your needs and gifts, making it easier to give and receive help

Experienced what it feels like to belong to a supportive community

Gained tools to seed communities based on trust and care in your own contexts

Ultimately, this series is not just about learning new methods, it’s about experiencing and co-creating the kind of communities we long for, and the confidence to create such communities wherever you go.
👥 Your Hosts: Nicki & Jocelyn Endres
Nicki and Jocelyn are experienced facilitators and community builders who have spent the last ten years designing and hosting spaces for mutual support, collective learning, and regenerative collaboration.

Drawing on their backgrounds in psychology, Nonviolent Communication, systems thinking, permaculture and spiritual traditions, they bring a lot of experience and a deep commitment to growing cultures of trust, care, and belonging.
While the journey is facilitated by Nicki and Jocelyn, this series is a co-creative inquiry in which we are all participant-researchers, at the same time being teacher and student.
