WHAT IS HEARTSPACE?
HEARTSPACE is a weekly, community-oriented gathering of individuals with that are interested in exploring the depths. It’s strongly suggested that you have a grasp on the IFS model and are accustomed to parts work meditation and we enter very deep and cathartic, trauma-focused territory in this group. We meet (almost) every week and commit to multi-week modules as we go. We sometimes have a theme or a book study, we sometimes just gather and practice and discuss what comes up.
Trauma-focused work is sacred activity. Healing is how we uncover the great heart of compassion, and the heart of compassion is the engine of all true transformation. This is the essence of human spirituality, the enlightenment-within-reach that has always existed.
In Heartsapce, we utilize tools gleaned from Internal Family Systems, the spectrum of Buddhist lineages, and yogic practice to facilitate this good work. The structure of our sessions includes a meditation, a short dharma talk, time for journaling, and time for discussion and Q+A.
The approach is informal, imperfect, and inclusive.
Flexible payment options are available.
