Winter 2026 - Updated & Enhanced 6-Week Series for Healers

Building on the success of our previous cohorts, we've refined this immersive 6-week series with more concentrated, specific teachings and increased embodied practice time. We've also made this transformative experience more accessible:

Enhanced Format:

• Shorter Sessions: 1.5 hours (previously 2 hours) to honor your busy schedule

• Reduced Investment: $800 full price (down from $900)

• More Practice Time: Less didactic instruction means more hands-on embodied work

Prerequisites: Participants should already have foundational knowledge of Internal Family Systems. With less time spent on IFS instruction, we can dedicate more session time to hands-on somatic exploration and integration.

The Experience

This container invites you into a more embodied relationship with your internal system through concentrated, specific movement, breath, and relational practices. You'll work with targeted approaches from Authentic Movement, Body-Mind Centering, and psychodrama.

What You'll Cultivate:

• Embodied Parts Awareness: Recognize how your body holds and expresses different parts

• Somatic Self-Leadership: Practice unblending and accessing Self-energy through movement and breath

• Deep Somatic Integration: Develop embodied tools to enhance your Self-to-part connections

• Community Connection: Share discoveries in a supportive container of fellow practitioners

Course Structure

• 6 Live Sessions: 1.5 hours of interactive practice, reflection, and community

• Concentrated Practice: More hands-on exploration with specific, targeted exercises

• Take-Home Resources: Practice videos, worksheets, and integration tools

• Certificate of Completion
