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. Â
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 Invitation to explore: Inner journey to the True Self. Divine Heart Guidance. Ancient & New Wisdom to show the way. Courageous Joy. Deep Connection to Self, Relationship & Earth Wisdom. Favourite place to be, listening to Mother Earth & her trees there is a wild woman under our skin who wants to dance, sing… Continue reading Tending the Wild & Sacred Circle

In eco soul therapy we explore the parts of your own inner ecosystem AND the outer ecosystem that you live in (relationship, family, work, community, society, earth). The focus will be on encouraging you to listen deeply to your own inner wisdom, your Soul / Self, to tend to your individual and the collective, societal and ancestral wounded and protective parts, and to form secure attachments to your Soul/Self, others and to something larger, be that Earth or the Great Mystery.
