Soul Sculpting:
An IFS journey to the inner Self
June 10th, 2023.
In-Person in Vancouver, 10-5pm
Soul Sculpting is a day-long workshop on IFS sculpting and inner work. Participants will have a chance to see their internal systems come to life through group parts mapping and experiential interaction.
Using an IFS framework, we will explore our life patterns and influences, and bring healing to blocks and burdens that hold us back from our truest expression of Self. When we are able to see ourselves more clearly, relate to our parts with greater compassion, and begin to unburden the pain of old wounds, our Self-Energy (and Soul gifts) naturally emerge more strongly. The result of this work is greater self-knowing, clarity, courage, connection, and access to our innate gifts. Although firmly rooted in IFS practice, this particular work is often compared in style and impact to Family Constellations and leaves space to explore influences of ancestral and cultural lineage, collective healing, and spiritual dimensions of the work. |
What is Sculpting?In action, sculpting invites a person to map out (or sculpt) their internal constellation of parts with the somatic representation of fellow group members. The traditional IFS process of unblending, befriending, witnessing, and unburdening are supported, so that greater self-leadership and authentic expression is accessible to parts and Self.
Through somatic attunement, parts dialogue, and collective resonance, people have the opportunity to gain new insight into the nature and origins of their patterns, integrate protectors and exiles, and feel more centred and alive within their whole Self. As a person’s internal system becomes less burdened and more Self-led, they can gain greater access to their soul gifts - both qualities of Self and Self-led parts - such as intuition, playfulness, joy, creativity, leadership, trust, innocence, and much more. |
Who is this for?
For group intimacy and integrity this workshop is limited to 10 people. At this time we are offering this for therapists, practitioners and space-holders with some familiarity of IFS as a prerequisite. People of diverse backgrounds, identities, and experiences are very welcome. Please inquire if you have any questions!
*CE credits towards IFS (re)certification may be available. |

Hosted by
Risa Adams & Sarah Jarvis
*Unfortunately this retreat is being rescheduled to 2024 due to the venue being sold. Please reach out if you would like to be added to the waitlist for future retreats & trainings in BC or Ontario!
Ample time will be spent in deep process - in intimate dyads with each other and in full group dynamic sculpting. We will pay particular attention to the legacy burdens that follow us into - and sometimes lead - our work in the therapy room and our life. As we loosen the knots and follow the threads we will begin to see more of the beautiful tapestry that is YOU and the invisible weavings of intention at play.
If you feel called, please join us for a time of inner discernment, connection, joy, soul care and skillful practice. *Eligible for 20 IFS CE credits towards certification or recertification. |
