Protectors attempt to shield us from hurtful incidents or distressing relationships in our current lives, because they might connect with buried pain (trauma) from childhood. Some protectors navigate and organize in an effort to help us avoid “triggering.” Some protectors act to block out pain entirely. While protectors have positive intentions, they can prevent us from experiencing deeply positive feelings or being able to move forward on our life and relationship goals. In this class, we will take a deep dive into protectors, learn about them in our own systems, practice tools to work with them, and increase our capacity to lead our own internal systems calmly and courageously. </p><p>Prerequisite: Internal Family Systems I: Intro to Self-Led Therapy Using IFS</p><p><em>This class is priced on a sliding fee scale.

However, there is a variety of vastly different Trust options to be used and the question arises: “Am I using the right Trust for my needs and goals?” Often used Trusts include: Living Trusts, Testamentary Trusts and Irrevocable Trusts, each serves a different purpose, each has a different result. One common problem that often needs addressing is the over-utilization of the Living Trust for goals or problems that it does not resolve. For example, “Does my Living Trust protect my assets against Medicaid and the nursing home?” The answer is probably not. The Irrevocable Trust and the Testamentary Trust each have their strengths and weaknesses as well. We will clearly define the strengths and weaknesses of these different types of Trusts and when to use them. Explore your goals and wishes to see where they fall in the realm of Trusts. Class encourages questions and we hope to provide answers that will set your mind at ease or assist you in the decision making in this area.</p>Ready, Set, Mow!

It focuses on a software and gear-agnostic approach, making it suitable for anyone interested in record and mixing. The workshop's personalized approach involves gathering information from participants to tailor the class to their specific needs, covering topics like microphone placement, recording space optimization, decision-making in the recording process, and assistance with equipment and software recommendations. Attendees also have the opportunity to bring their own music tracks for discussion and troubleshooting, creating an intimate, interactive, and collaborative learning environment. No discounts.</p><p>This class meets at Minnehaha Recording Studio:4501 Minnehaha Ave, Minneapolis MN 55406</p><p>Additional Information:</p><ol>
<li>Attendees do not have to have any specific background or experience.</li>
<li>We may be demonstrating things in Pro Tools, but this is meant to be software (and gear) agnostic. We are not teaching a specific software at this time. </li>
<li>We intend for this to be as beneficial to attendees as possible. Because of this, we’ll gather some info about you once you’ve signed up. Once we have this info from all participants, we can decide what might be best to focus on as class- specific styles of music, instruments, microphone placement, preamps/compression/EQ, mixing, working with artists, etc.</li>
<li>Attendees will have the option to bring in a track of their own music or something they might have recorded to talk through the process and any challenges they may be having with it.</li>
<li>Our goal is to keep this intimate, interactive, and collaborative. Instead of memorizing a list of high-end equipment or large format console signal flow like most audio schools teach, we want to discuss and refine things like:</li>
<ol>
<li><em>Basic microphone placement</em></li>
<li><em>Making the most of your recording space</em></li>
<li><em>Context in recording and mixing</em></li>
<li><em>Mindful decision making and tone-seeking</em></li>
<li><em>How do I get that sound?</em></li>
<li><em>Is this tonal or arrangement decision actually helping the song?</em></li>
<li><em>Assistance with any general equipment/software recommendations. </em></li>
