Internal Family Systems as a Model for Spiritual Companions:
Advanced Session & Practice Groups

led by Frank Rogers, Jr.

September 21st | November 23rd

 

What is the program?

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a contemplative, soulful, and non-pathologizing approach to personal healing and spiritual transformation. This two-day workshop is a follow-up to the 12-week program offered by Stillpoint exploring
IFS as a model for spiritual companioning. After brief reviews of IFS and discussions of common challenges that face spiritual caregivers in integrating IFS, we will have ample time for practicing IFS in triads and debriefing them in plenary conversations. The primary purpose of this workshop is sharpening skills in integrating IFS with spiritual companioning through practice and reflection.
