Healing the Unseen in IFS Therapy: Unattached Burdens,
Past Lives, & Psychedelics
In this workshop, we’ll explore how to cultivate inner perception not as abstract ideals, but as concrete, learnable skills you can bring into your practice:
Briefly acknowledge Unattached Burdens – unlike previous workshops where they were central, this event will introduce new material not covered before.
Compare IFS concepts with cross-cultural traditions – exploring how anthropological accounts of spirit possession and the porous mind offer deep insight into non-Western models of healing.
Use the metaphor of past lives as a tool – treating reincarnation not as doctrine, but as a language for engaging what arises in the therapeutic space.
Integrate psychedelic experience with IFS – discovering how expanded states of consciousness open access to deep psychic material, and how IFS offers a safe and structured way to meet it.
Navigate the inner world with grounded practices – including the cultivation of interoception, imagination as perception, and relational spirituality rooted in presence and humility.
Work with attention, unknowing, and the release of constraint – developing the capacity to meet the psyche without needing to control or define what arises.

Healing the Legacy and Cultural Burdens in IFS Therapy
In this workshop series, we’ll explore the Legacy and Cultural Burdens we carry – and how to address them within the context of IFS therapy. During this series, you will:
Develop a working idea of legacy and cultural burdens – understanding how they shape identity, behavior, and belonging across generations.
Explore your own legacy burdens – turning inward to notice what you carry from those who came before.
Reflect on the blessings and burdens you carry from your ancestors – honoring the complexity of your inheritance.
Begin to understand the implications of growing up in the culture you were raised in – recognizing how collective narratives live within the internal system.&
Gain a working knowledge of how to work with your client’s legacy and cultural burdens – bringing clarity, care, and structure to this deep layer of healing.

Meet the teachers
Robert Falconer
For the past decade or more Robert Falconer has devoted himself full-time to IFS work (Internal Family Systems Therapy). In that time he has attended all levels of IFS training offered, and has been a program assistant more than 18 times.
Bob has been at many workshops and events with Richard Schwartz both as assistant and participant. In addition to studying with many of the other senior IFS trainers, he also co-authored a book with Richard Schwartz entitled: Many Minds, One Self. For all of his therapeutic work, both professional and personal, Bob now uses IFS almost exclusively. Bob recently published his new book about IFS and unattached burdens – The Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possession.
Before this Bob used and explored many forms of therapy, starting with Ericksonian hypnotherapy which he studied with Carol Erickson. He received his master’s degree and hypnotherapist certificate under her tutelage. Then he met and began studying with Jack and Helen Watkins, the creators of Ego State Therapy.
Before beginning his graduate work, starting in 1971, Bob was involved with the Esalen Institute where he has attended more than 120 events and workshops.
Kay Gardner
Kay Gardner, LCPC, IFS Lead trainer has over 45 years of clinical experience and 35 years in private practice. She is a senior Lead Trainer for Internal Family Systems (IFS) and has been in leadership since the beginning of the approach, in the early 90’s. She also came to IFS as an experienced therapist and a teacher of Hakomi Body-Centered Psychotherapy and as a result, helped to integrate the body into the IFS practice.
In earlier work, Kay was the founder of The Women’s Circle, a women’s program in Chicago, and has also led various successful workshops around the country for men and women, including Persephone’s Journey; Men and Their Mothers; Women and Their Fathers; as well as Sacred Theatre for Couples, which brought her body-centered theatre approach to work with couples in groups or individually.
In her most recent work, presented nationally and internationally, Kay was the first to bring the notion of Legacy Burdens to IFS and has co-developed a unique program that integrates work with energy, chakras, and developmental stages, called a Possibility of awakening. Kay brings a body-centered and spiritual approach to all her work.
She is a warm, gifted, and heartfelt presenter who consistently garners rave reviews from her audiences.
Satisfaction Guarantee
If you’re not completely satisfied with your purchase, just let us know within 48 hours. We’ll offer a full refund—no questions asked.
Completion of IFS Level 1 Training is not required
At the same time, you need to know the fundamentals of IFS, as we don’t offer basic didactics about the model during this workshop.
Make sure that you:
- Have completed a thorough introductory course/workshop about IFS or the IFSI Online Circle,
- Have a desire to embody the IFS Model – deepen the knowledge of your own system, and learn tools that aid you in this process.
How it works
The workshops were held live in July 2025.
The whole process has been structured so you can go through it at any time, at your own pace. Explore almost 14 hours of video material – it’s important that you find the right space to immerse yourself in this process.
The recording contains didactics, so you will be able to do personal work in your own time.
Remember that you get unlimited access to the workshop recordings, which means you will be able to view them in a year or even in a few years.
