Unconference in 10 days!
Our last Unconference before the summer is happening soon
Our last Unconference before the summer is happening in 10 days.
We hope you are as excited as we are.
PRE-PROPOSED SESSIONS
To whet your appetite, here are some pre-proposed sessions:
Parts Work with Finger Puppets! - Melissa Sandfort, IFSCP
An overview of how to use finger puppets to do IFS. Includes a demonstration and time for Q&A
Neoshamanic IFS - Sabrina Santa Clara
Neoshamanic IFS moves beyond traditional IFS, wherein the Self is the primary healing modality. Neoshamanic IFS recognizes three major healing agents: the Inner World (e.g. Self), the Outer World (family, friends, nature, etc.), and the Mystical World (guides, ancestors, spirits, god, etc.).
Stoicism and IFS - Tim
A discussion on the overlaps between IFS and Stoic philosophy, illustrating how they are two sides of the same coin.
Presence-led Parenting - Angie Fox
By working with the parts of ours that get triggered in parenting, we cultivate greater ability to parent from our depth, from Presence!
Aligning Your Life - Alex
Learn how to map the parts that emerge around a life goal and how to agree on small, practical, testable experiments to explore how it feels to have them not pushing in different directions.
Peer Supervision - Pau
Primarily aimed at fellow practitioners (but open to everyone), Pau will hold an open space for questions regarding IFS practice. Participants are invited to share practice challenges and support one another. Strict client confidentiality will be required.
We also received a resounding “maybe” from some big names (in the IFS and Therapy and Dharma world, maybe not “stop in the street to ask for autograph” famous).
They could come. It is a participatory event, so the only way to find out is to come yourself.
HOW TO PREPARE
Nothing really to prepare in advance, as it is a participatory and co-created event.
Everything that follows is to make sure you are actually able to join.
If you have a topic you want to bring, that’s plenty. It can be an open discussion, a workshop, an idea for a workshop, a question. They often emerge totally improvised during the event, when we realize that “oh, now I want to share/exchange about […]”.
We will be using Zoom.
Please make sure that:
* you have an account, you know the user name and password, and that you can access it
* that Zoom is installed and up to date
* you use a computer or laptop, as navigating the schedule on a smaller device is challenging. With around 200 participants, it's almost impossible to offer 1:1 technical support.
Check your time zone.
Follow the link for the times in different time zones. Please make sure about yours. People have been disappointed in the past about missing the event, and there is not much we can do about that.
(We do not record the event.)
This is the living schedule.
Make sure that you can access it. We will use it to co-create the program. It will become editable during the event.
We also have an FAQ, and you can find out more about the event on our website or, just email us at hello@ifs-collective.com.
Most of all: get excited, and share the enthusiasm
Share the event, tell people, or just come yourself.
THE USUAL DISCLAIMERS
This is NOT an official IFS-Institute training, or a setting for receiving therapeutic work.
A COMMERCIAL INTERLUDE
We do not organize the Unconference to make money, and yet some of our parts like being able to pay for bills and food. We do that by offering IFS therapy and IFS coaching sessions. (See here if you are curious about the difference; we will write a longer post about it someday). So if you feel called, or know someone that wants to dip into this world, feel free to explore booking a session with one of us.
