“This is clear-eyed, urgent, beautiful work with a teacher who has a breadth of experience and compassion that includes all of us.”
-C., writer, course participant

I offer a full curriculum of practice and study for anyone wanting to engage in a transformative path. It begins here:

Chrysalis is a three-part series that blends Western psychology and neuroscience with Eastern practice and Buddhist psychology to bring about unprecedented, meaningful, lasting change to every arena of our lives. If you are experiencing repetitive patterns — be they patterns of thought, emotional cycles, compulsive behaviors, or patterns in intimate and interpersonal relationships, you’ve come to the right place. Following the trajectory offered in Ralph De La Rosa’s bestselling book The Monkey Is the Messenger: Meditation & What Your Busy Mind Is Trying to Tell You you will gain insights and learn meditations informed by neuroscience, somatic psychology, Tibetan Buddhism, the "parts work" of Internal Family Systems, yogic philosophy.

Chrysalis offers three, six-week modules that run successively.
You can take one module at a time or commit to all three.

Module 1: Embodied Presence
Module 2: Redefining Self-Love
Module 3: UNSTUCK: How to Heal Every Part of You

Modules offered throughout the year, get on my newsletter to receive updates.

After Chrysalis is Coming Home. a 14-week immersion in parts work meditation, Internal Family Systems, and human spirituality.

If you are already steeped in IFS and meditation but haven’t taken my other courses, you meet the pre-reqs for this course.

This course is a deep dive that will teach you how to utilize the Internal Family Systems model within the practice of meditation and in daily life. Participants should at least have a basic grasp on what parts work is before applying for this course..

Parts work is a process of rapid growth that taps directly into the very architecture of our psyche and tunes into the logic followed by the multiple psychologies each of us hold. It is a doorway into the vast and mysterious inner landscape extant within us all. Perhaps the most beautiful aspect of parts work is that one need not wait to be in the presence of a therapist or facilitator to reap the benefits.

This course will explore the full process of re-parenting our managers, exiles, and firefighters from a place of Self-energy. This is not group therapy, but rather an opportunity to learn how to become your own therapist.

After that, we have a community of dedicated practitioners called
HEARTSPACE
We study and practice Buddhism in tandem with Internal Family Systems in an ongoing manner. Our current course of study combines the traditional Mahayana Lojong (mind-training) scriptures with Richard Schwartz’s new book No Bad Parts in a one-year intensive. This is a private group for folks familiar with my spontaneous and irreverent style of teaching and, more importantly, are comfortable going to the deep and difficult places with compassion and love (Self-Energy).

If you are a seasoned practitioner of Buddhism and IFS and feel you are appropriate for this group even though you haven’t done my previous courses, feel free to get in touch.
