This workshop, offers support for emotional processing of world events using the empowering and systemic approach of IFS parts work.
As we experience intensifying political upheaval, climate breakdown, injustice and economic insecurity, connecting with all of our parts, including those that may feel overwhelmed, helpless, angry, afraid or grieving helps to prevent burnout.
Through parts work, we can wisely welcome all aspects of ourselves without getting blended or flooded by big emotions or protective mechanisms, allowing inner qualities and capacities for clarity, courage and grounded action to shine through.
A key element of parts work is the recognition of our Core–essence– imbued with capacities such as clarity, compassion and creativity. This is what distinguishes parts work from other approaches that might emphasize continual self-improvement or relying on an external expert. It's a fundamentally different relationship with ourselves, with our communities, and with world crises, which acknowledges our ecological entanglement with a world in crisis.
Accessing Self also leads to Self-Leadership: healthy collaboration with others, reduced conflict and polarisation, and inspired responses to planetary crises.
In this workshop, we will:
Explore our parts personally and in community
Engage in parts work for emotional wellbeing
Experience Self-leadership and tap into creative, courageous, and compassionate capacities
This workshop will be highly interactive and deeply transformative, providing you with skills and tools that you can apply both personally and professionally. This is why this workshop will not be recorded.
Part of an ongoing series connecting parts work with world events, you are welcome to attend any workshop. Familiarity with parts work is not necessary.
