  • IFS is an evidence-based therapy that views the mind as being made up of distinct “parts,” each with their own roles, intentions, and feelings. Some parts are protective or help us cope while others carry pain or past wounds. At the core of IFS is the practice of accessing Self energy - the calm, compassionate, curious and innately healing energy that allows us to connect with parts, understand them, and bring balance and harmony to our inner worlds.

  • Our meeting time will consist of a combination of the elements below, with the goal of accessing Self energy, befriending parts and connecting with one another.

    Lecture: brief blocks on foundational concepts in IFS

    Reflection: Individual time in class or nature for personal reflection

    Group work: Experiential exercises with others

    Nature: walks and meditative practices that increase Self energy

“It was in doing IFS work that I found an anchor, a place of warm neutrality and curious witnessing, a self- compassion that had been nearly impossible to will myself into offering to my own psyche... In the process of becoming more and more familiar with IFS, a rich sense of spirituality emerged. It was the soulful reward for allowing curiosity to ever so slowly open up my bound heart.”

-Alanis Morissette
