ART Mini Courses
The ART of Internal Family Systems (IFS)
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 ART of Imperfection
In the ART of Imperfection, we’re not seeking to change anything. You’re good enough as you are. You don’t have to change yourself to change your life. Self-improvement is not required here. Instead, we will bathe our tender souls in the soothing medicine of welcoming everything as we question the stories that constrain us and design a new relationship with ourselves, including our perfectionist tendencies.
Shadow Academy
Shadow Academy is a group process designed to bring insight into our hidden nature and impulses, so that we may integrate rather than repress aspects of ourselves. We’ll use the wisdom of the group and the fundamental practices of Authentic Relating to bring the unconscious into consciousness.
The ART of Recovery
The ART of Recovery is designed specifically for those seeking freedom from addiction to substances, other people, or compulsive behaviors. We’ll share our best tools and skills for establishing, maintaining, and coming back into connection – with ourselves and with others. We’ll explore the power of owning and letting go of blame, and for claiming our dignity through compassionate humility.
