Exploring Internal Family Systems and the Buddhist Path of Awakening

“When the world is full of evil, turn it into the path of bodhi.” —Lojong

DAY-LONG ONLINE EVENT WITH CIIS PROGRAMS

At the center of both Internal Family Systems and Buddhism lie methods for accesing the transformative power of compassion. Both are rooted in the experiential truth that we are not who we think we are—we are more alive, complex, and full of possibility than we've come to assume. Finally, and perhaps most meaningful to our lives now, is their common aim to directly engage traumas, afflicitions, and irrational beliefs as a means to post-traumatic growth, reclamation of vitality, and personal and collective liberation—the realized means of, “the only way out is through” (Frost). 

This daylong workshop will center on integrated experiences for opening the heart of self-compassion; how this “Self-energy” (IFS) or “buddha nature” can show up in our daily lives; and how it can be applied towards healing, insight, and empowerment. Expect a day of parts work meditation, lively group discussion, personal introspection, and to walk away with new awarenesses and tools.
