Being with, not doing to - Relational IFS in action. 

Developed for Therapists and Coaches looking to deepen their IFS skills.

• Watch Real IFS Demo Videos – See the model in action.
• Insightful Discussions - Stephanie will break down key moments in the demo, offering expert insights.
• Live Q&A - Bring your questions! Whether you're new to IFS or experienced, this is your chance to ask and learn

In this workshop, we explore the wider implications of the IFS journey with our parts.

• How does IFS move from a healing modality where we are being with parts and healing the wounds from our past, to being part of a spiritual journey, where both healing and awakening are possible and how these processes overlap.
• What practices, readings, or resources foster the process of IFS  being part of spiritual practice or path?​
• Understanding spiritual bypassing from an IFS perspective?
• What thoughts do you have about psychedelics and the spiritual on the IFS journey?
• How have Dick's own ideas of spirituality shifted since using IFS for himself and with clients?
