How it works

The workshop was held live in September and October 2022.

 

The whole process has been structured so that you can go through it at any time, at your own pace. Explore almost 9 hours of video material – it’s important that you find the right space to immerse yourself in this process.

 

The recording contains didactics, meditations, demo sessions, and practice instructions so you will be able to do personal work in your own time. Please note that the practice group sessions and the group sharings were not recorded.

 

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.

Opinions about this workshop series

I really liked the breakout room where my small group got to work on our IFS skills. I also really liked how open & honest Fran Booth was about the realities of imperfection in doing IFS work, and I very much enjoyed the demo session videos.

Informative and clear. I am a novice in my IFS journey, and I loved Fran’s approach In highlighting how to “try an experiment” with her clients before diving in.

Experiential activities

Please note that the teacher will respond to the needs of the group and because of that, the chosen activities may change

Guided meditations

Guided meditation is an internal practice that you do with closed eyes, following the teacher’s voice. The teacher will invite you to sit back, relax, and focus on your inner world. You will meet your parts, talk to them, and often learn things you weren’t aware of before. Guided meditation can allow you to do a significant piece of inner work.

Personal practice (ex. journalling)

Personal practice means working on your own, usually with a piece of paper, after hearing the instructions explained by the teacher. These exercises may be various – sometimes you will be invited to communicate with your parts by journalling, sometimes you will do a drawing exercise (like mapping your parts). Other times you will get a more complex set of instructions and 10 or 15 minutes to do a piece of the process on your own.
