Each of us comes into this world created with a singular way of learning, communicating, and developing based on how our brain works, creating the beautiful tapestry we call neurodiversity.

Attend from anywhere! Zoom or In-person tickets available now. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a contemplative, soulful, and non-pathologizing approach to personal healing and spiritual transformation. This workshop is designed specifically for spiritual companions—spiritual directors, chaplains, pastoral counselors, and other soul-care workers—who want to explore how IFS can be a model and a process for compassion-based soul care that keeps care providers grounded in our own compassionate essence and invites those to whom we provide care into a deeper connection with the sacred and with their own spiritual essence.
The poet Mary Oliver wrote that when we “ …patch a few words together,” we might open “...a doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak.” Come patch some words together in company with others as a spiritual practice for the soul. Taking inspiration from poetry, images, objects, and more, we’ll play and pray on the page. We’ll have the choice to read and share in small groups, responding as supportive witnesses to one another’s words. No writing experience is necessary (and grammar and spelling don’t count!)
