THE KEY TO UNLOCKING IFS POTENTIAL

Do you aspire to discover and live from your compassionate true nature? We are in a unique time where ancient wisdom and modern science can help us understand obstacles and give us the resources to live from our authentic Self. 

Join award winning author, psychotherapist, and Mindful Glimpses app creator, Loch Kelly, who has previously cotaught and collaborated with Dick Schwartz, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) creator. Because IFS is the missing link for meditators to living awake in the world, Loch will offer an original synthesis that integrates IFS Parts work with the liberating nondual tools of Effortless Mindfulness.

In this four-day retreat, you will learn how Effortless Mindfulness is the key to unlocking IFS healing potential. 

Learn practical ways to navigate your own consciousness during your busy day and seamlessly shifting out of a limited parts-based view and into self leadership. Walk, talk, create and relate from Awake Loving Flow as you:

  • Participate in Effortless Mindfulness Glimpses and self-led IFS inquiry.
  • Transform out of your ego manager and into your authentic Self.
  • Avoid burnout by distinguishing subtle body and empathy from compassionate Self.
  • Discover the Self, Awake Consciousness, and True Nature inside each of us.
  • Avoid common traps of spiritual bypass, psychological underpass, intellectual overpass, and meditative cul-de-sacs.
  • Heal your shadow parts and inner critics, understanding there are no bad parts to love.
  • Understand how those who seek similar optimal qualities with psychedelics and flow states can also find integration. 

Recommended listening and reading Mindful Glimpses app; Loch Kelly, The Way of Effortless Mindfulness: A Revolutionary Guide for Living an Awakened Life and Richard Schwartz, No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model.

Note for helping professionals: This weekend retreat will not a professional training focused on how to work with your clients. It is focused on your experience which you can then bring to your practice. There will be time at meals to meet with other clinicians for some of this discussion.

This is an advanced retreat. We ask that you are both familiar with Loch’s practices by using the App and reading one of his books. And having done some psychotherapy work and being familiar with the basics of IFS.
