Finding Belonging: Embracing Our Whole Life
Internal Family Systems (IFS*) Therapy in Nature
With Sebastiana Black
Saturday 5 October 2024,
10:30am-5pm
Foxtail Meadow Private Nature Reserve
Bramfield, Suffolk
“A gentle yet powerful experience led with such integrity and professionalism.”
In this experiential workshop we will meet our inner world, resourced by our true nature, the wisdom of the group and the natural world. We will befriend the parts of ourselves involved in our sense of belonging and those that block it. The habits and beliefs that protect us and the vulnerable parts that feel unworthy and alone can get in the way of deepening our connections to our body, ourselves, others and the more-than-human world. As we enter into a reciprocal relationship with the natural world, we will increase access to our innate sense of belonging and invite in more clarity and confidence.
The day will include:
- IFS and Earth-based meditations
- Embodiment and sensory practices
- Walking and being on the land
- Creativity – mapping and sculpting parts
- Group, pair and solo work
- Poetry and song
£65, £55, £40 (£40- 1 spot in exchange for helping with refreshments)
TO BOOK and for more information: ecotherapyeast@gmail.com
This workshop is for anyone who wishes to begin to heal, grow, be more compassionate and feel a sense of interconnectedness.
Spaces are limited.
Previous experience of IFS is helpful but not necessary, just willingness to sit quietly and be curious about what is within and around you.
Facilities: there are simple facilities on the meadow, including a cosy yurt and a compost loo. We will be spending time indoors and outdoors. Directions and what to bring will be provided after booking.
*IFS therapy is a transformative approach to understanding our minds and healing different aspects of our personality and guides us to be with our experiences in a compassionate way.More information about IFS: www.sebastianablack.co.uk/internal-family-systems
