Touching Two Worlds: Familia (CEU Show Option)

Description

Familia is an invitation to gather the people who have shaped your life—the family you were born into and the one you’ve chosen along the way. This show explores the deep, complex ties that define us. What does it mean to belong? To break away? To find your way back?

Created by psychologist, Dr. Sherry Walling, and professional circus coach Lynn Lunny, Touching Two Worlds merges conversations about mental health and movement. This year's show is a story of love, conflict, and the lifelong journey of finding your place—at the family table.

Bring your chosen family to a world-class circus performance, spoken word, and community arts experience unlike any other.

Make It Unforgettable: Exclusive Immersive Experiences
1) CEU Special Show (CEU panel begins at 8 pm, following the show)
As mental health professionals, we know that family systems live not only in our minds, but in our bodies. This expert panel invites professionals to consider how movement-based practices—including somatic work and expressive arts—can deepen therapeutic work with family narratives. We’ll explore how physical storytelling and intentional movement can reveal unspoken tensions, facilitate emotional processing, and support clients in creating new relational patterns.
Presenters: Sherry Walling, PhD (moderator), Alissa Kaasa MSW, LICSW, Robert McCauley, LICSW, Rachel Allyn, PhD.

WHO IS IT FOR?
Psychologists, social workers, counselors, MFTs, and other licensed mental health professionals.
