Have you ever thought you had to do it on your own?
Have you been stuck in a cycle you can’t get out of?
Have you been condemning yourself for not being able to make a change?
The ART of IFS Course Description
In the IFS model, we use the 5 practices of Authentic Relating to be with and get curious about the many different parts of ourselves. Just as we choose to do with others when we are seeking a greater sense of connection, we can slow down and really “get the world” of one of our parts, without judgement or any agenda to fix, correct, or solve. And through this “being with”, we can listen – listen to what the part has been trying to share with us…. perhaps for a very long time.
The IFS paradigm has given us a new language to understand our inner parts, it has opened up the possibility of looking at our inner system with compassion and understanding, and has allowed us to create space for our truest self to emerge.
Authentic Relating has given us a new language to connect deeper with others and ourselves, bring more awareness into our own experience and gave us the tools to welcome what arises.
In this three session mini-course, with these two powerful tools combined for the first time in this group process, we’ll work with each other to explore:
- What it looks like to communicate with our parts using Authentic Relating
- How they will respond to be seen and acknowledged in the beautiful space of welcoming everything
- How the map IFS presents to us can help us get to know others in a deeper way than ever, getting each other’s worlds in new and exciting ways
- How we can create immense healing that can uniquely occur in this sacred group space
By learning how relate with ourselves in this deep way, we may be in danger of:
- Feeling more alive, present, and expansion
- Recovering our sense of wonder and child-like spontaneity
- Having more space available to be with others we care about
- Being able to slow down and see our parts patterns in action for a deeper understanding of them
- Learning to unblend from parts and hold space for them even in heightened situations
Come join us in this adventure.
