✨Starting This Month✨
We're looking to host an IFS Indigenous Community Collective space with clinicians and helpers using Internal Family Systems in their work with clients and community members.
We would like to create a space to share ideas and experiences related to members' use of IFS. This will be our inaugural session, and we will be seeking feedback on what might be needed in the space.
📆 Date: March 20th
🕒 Time: 3:00 PM EST (1:00 PM MDT/CST)
💻 Format: Virtual via Zoom
✍️ Registration Link: weavingwellness.ca/ifs-collective
Formal IFS training is not a requirement, but is recommended for joining the group.
This is intended to be a space that prioritizes Indigenous voices from Turtle Island, and we ask that only Métis, First Nation and Inuit participants join.
------------------------------
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an evidence-based psychotherapy model that can support and deepen traditional healing practices in some community contexts. This therapeutic model describes the internal world of the individual as a system of protective parts that arise as we encounter challenges in life. Healing work is made possible by noticing and acknowledging these protective parts, and extending compassion to them when they take on extreme roles.
One of the core concepts of IFS includes connecting with a core Self that is akin to concepts of Spirit, from which we draw strength on our journeys. This model's ability to connect with ancestral burdens, and its compatibility with ceremony, make it a promising tool in supporting community healing.
