IFS believes that each of us is an ecosystem of parts, and when all parts are in harmony, the ecosystem runs smoothly, yet when we are taken over by one or more parts we can feel out of balance or stuck or in chaos or not even recognize ourselves, as we sometimes swing wildly from one emotion to another.
These Deep Parts Wisdom Circles are IFS-informed and are created to support you to NOTICE your parts, get to KNOW them, and find out what they NEED in order for you to access more Self energy, more integration, more Wholeness, more Soul. We will do this using mindfulness, embodied movement/dance, explore wise-nature archetypes (from Wild Mind by Bill Plotkin), visualisation and creative expression as well as the healing power of sharing in a sacred safe circle of like-minded souls.

An exploration of how we need to find ways to safely release our grief in order to have an enlivened Soul -filled, Self-Led response to the world. "The sacred ground of grief …shakes us and breaks us open to depths of the soul we could not imagine. Grief offers a wild alchemy, transmutes suffering into fertile ground. We are made real and tangible by the experience of sorrow. …We are stripped of excess and revealed as human in our times of grief. Grief ripens us, pulls up from the depths of our souls what is most authentic in our beings.” Francis Weller The Wild Edge of Sorrow, Rituals for Renewal and the Sacred Work of Grief. P8.
A journey to re-discover my ancestral roots and a re-discovering Celtic Wisdom. "In the Celtic tradition it was said that we suffer from soul forgetfulness.
