During this Workshop, you will:
Be guided through a meditation and parts-mapping process to clarify your inner system around trauma, Spirit and protection.
Practice cultivating an “inner sense” relationship with one part and with Spirit, so you can feel this work in your own system.
Watch Bob do a live demo with someone’s parts map, seeing step by step how he brings Spirit into the healing process.
Explore a structured sentence-stem exercise (inspired by Francis Weller and Imago) to touch core themes like grief, longing and hope, and then bring them into written dialogue with Spirit.
Reflect on your experiences in small groups and connect them with Bob’s stories, case examples and ideas such as the imaginal realm and the autonomy of the psyche, in a way that’s grounded and clinically useful.
Meet the trainer
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.
