Workshop Title: “Creating Healing Circles®: In-person Experiential Workshop on Using the IFS Model in a Group Format”

Workshop Description:

This four-day, in-person workshop is designed to allow participants the opportunity to explore using the IFS Model in a group format. Using Chris’s book, Creating Healing Circles®: Using Internal Family Systems Model in Facilitating Groups as a guide, this workshop will explore the following:)

• Introduction to the various formats and/or themes for IFS groups
• Discovering the effectiveness of working experientially in a group format
• Discussing several of the key group facilitator skills for using IFS in a group format
• Learning how to create the group container to support deeper healing, including the aspects of group dynamics and the stages of group development
• Experience live demonstrations of IFS sculpting and other experiential exercises in a group format
• Breakout groups to allow practice in facilitating IFS group experiential exercises

The IFS model is a valuable tool in conducting group therapy because it allows for a real-time interplay of Parts being actively engaged in ways that are not always possible in individual therapy. Groups provide access to Parts that are active in both internal and relational dynamics.

Max number of participants = 40 people
