Introductory Gathering: Flow in and explore (virtual)

Self Energy Circle Introductory Gathering

Location: Online (Zoom link provided after RSVP)

Welcome to the first gathering of this Meetup group. This is a community for people who want to explore connection, presence, and creativity with each other through the lens of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.

This circle has a different purpose than therapy. As I have progressed through training in and application of the IFS model, there is a wisdom and calling in my system to open up space for accessibility, community and experiences through it. I am craving to apply the model beyond the therapy context and still understanding what that means. In my own journey with IFS, I’ve seen how healing deepens in spaces where we gather together, not as clients and providers, but as people willing to have experiences with each other. That is the spirit of this group: a place for our parts to land with each other, to be witnessed, and to feel connected to something larger through also experiencing gentle movement and nature. So much curiosity in my system about what can unfold.

Outline:
1. Land together: Begin by arriving into a group, landing and letting our parts check each other out, allow space for your system to just be with us. Establish very baseline knowledge of IFS for any parts needing that information. Contract about safety for each participant.

2. Introductions: Each person will have the option to introduce themselves and share a few key identities that feel important to their system. Participation is always optional.

3. Speak for parts: We’ll listen to and speak for parts about what their hopes are for this community.

No prior knowledge of IFS is required. This is not therapy, but it is therapeutic in the sense that community itself can be deeply restorative. You can expect to leave with clarity about what we will do in-person and in-nature on an upcoming group experience.

Who is this for?
Anyone drawn to the IFS model, interested in building more self-connection, or looking for a community where parts can feel safe, supported, and valued in future experiential and nature-based contexts.
