Internal Family Systems (IFS) Toronto

Sometimes we need to gather in ceremony, out of our mundane environments and routines. We allow our stories to flow through us within the container of community held by mother nature. We release our wild parts and reclaim what has been denied or forbidden. Magical things happen when we gather to share and heal with transformational medicine. This is an all inclusive, small group, cottage adventure: all meals, snacks and medicines will be provided. Costs range from $555-$888 depending on shared or private accomodations.

## Why use transformational medicines in This Work?

This powerful, heart-opening empathogen gently softens fear and defensive responses, creating a profound sense of safety within yourself. In this state:

• Compassion naturally arises for every part of you—especially those holding pain, anger, shame, or fear.
• Clarity emerges, allowing you to see old stories, patterns, and relational wounds from a fresh, truthful perspective.
• Courage awakens, making it possible to approach even your most hidden or feared parts without judgment.
• Curiosity expands—you meet your inner world with the mind of an explorer, eager to understand rather than fix or reject.
• Connection deepens—not only with yourself, but also with others, as relational barriers begin to soften.

This medicine helps protectors feel at ease so that your deeper Self can lead with these qualities. When we bring our self-energy to the system, healing happens. When we are in a room filled with people in self-energy, magic happens.

## The Power of the Group

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in relationship (just like wounding).
In this intimate group setting:

• You’ll have the unique opportunity to witness how your own protectors and triggers respond to the protectors and parts of others.
• You’ll see clearly where you guard your heart and how you long for authentic connection.
• The group field amplifies compassion—for yourself and for others.
• By being truly seen and accepted, you’ll experience a taste of relational healing that ripples far beyond this weekend.

## Flow of the Weekend

## Friday: Arrival

We arrive at our beautiful home away from home in the early afternoon and get settled in. We gather in circle around the fire to open the container for the weekend with breathwork. We hear each others stories of healing. We share a deliscious dinner and chat about expectations for the weekend in general and the medicine journey in particular.

## Saturday: Group Medicine Journey

This healing weekend is about the Sacred Ceremony with transformational medicine. Our hearts will be open, connected to each other, and connected to all life. The intense love and compassion of the day will allow you to turn this healing energy inwards. We explore our blocks to giving and receving love. The great block of FEAR will release and you will hear your truth. Being witnessed in community is the true medicine.

## Sunday: Integration and Closing

On our last day together, we allow the powerful energy of gratitude to flow through us. Thanking ourselves for showing up, thankful for the experiences we shared and being present with each other. We close the container of ceremony with breathwork. Renewed in our strength, understanding that we are the medicine and everything we need is already within us. This is the beginning of your journey.
