IFS As A Spiritual Path

IN THIS WORKSHOP WE WILL GUIDE YOU IN:

• Understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS) as an antidote to spiritual bypassing and as a trauma-informed spiritual path you might choose to follow;
• Learning what spiritual bypassing is- and how to stop using your spirituality as a way to avoid healing your traumatized parts;
• Liberating yourself from belief systems that interfere with your capacity for intimacy- with yourself, with other people, with nature and the planet;
• ​Finding the middle path between spiritual bypassing and cynical skepticism, opening space for the sacred in your life;
• ​Gaining insight into how New Age and religious belief systems can actually oppress and harm people in marginalized groups;
• ​Finding the baby in the bathwater - What do we keep from our spiritual teachings? What do we let go of?
• Learning how to practice critical thinking, healthy skepticism, reality checking, social justice conscious ethics, and good boundaries;
• ​Cultivating the gifts of all your emotions and all your parts, especially healthy anger and parts that protect you from having your boundaries crossed;
• ​Cultivating sacred systems of meaning and spiritual practice in a grounded, non-bypassing manner;
• ​Staying open to the mystery (without magical thinking).

Students will also receive a PDF edition of Lissa's new, not yet published book: Love Bigger: An Exploration of Spirituality Without Spiritual Bypassing
