Advanced SELF Led Self Care Online Groups
Connect inward, shine outward and blossom alongside kindred spirits.
Join us on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth with our exclusive Self Led self care groups
What are Advanced Self led self care groups?
These groups facilitate an 8-week transformative self-care journey. The focus is on your holistic well-being, connecting inwardly with your essence and empowering you to shine outward in crafting a life that you love and thrive in.
These intimate groups, limited to six members, also leverage the power of community to deepen shared experiences, witness change, get insights from others, and heal by belonging to a group.
The program includes 8 weekly online sessions, guided meditations, exclusive access to Dr. Chee's original content integrating IFS and Traditional Chinese Medicine, individual consultations with Dr. Chee, and a supportive community.
Self led self care is knowing that whatever comes your way, you can love yourself through it.
Watch Dr. Steve Chee share his inspiring story of how burning out ultimately led to the discoveries he shares in these groups

HARNESS THE POWER OF GROUPS
You’ve had insights in individual therapy but why haven't certain things changed in your life?
Because there’s a difference between facing your challenges alone and being witnessed and supported by others who are on the journey with you.
"There are not many trainings or groups where I feel such a big difference as this one. So after this, now I'm totally convinced. I like the format. I like the idea of self care and Self leadership, Self led self care. I like the size of the group... This is not therapy again. And thinking and somebody is sick... and what to do, but this is so nice. This is about me in everyday life, I don't need to be sick to be allowed to go there or it's not that a therapist is talking to me, it's about me. That's something I value so much. And ... (for) people who are in helping professions, this is just what they need."
Ann-Katrin Bockmann, Doctor of Psychology, Level 3 IFS Therapist, Hildesheim, Lower Saxony, Germany
Who's a good fit for one of these groups?
Self led self care connects your parts to your original quality of love.
You are already familiar with IFS, can distinguish Self vs part and identify polarities within yourself.
Healing arts professionals, creatives, spiritual seekers poised to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
You are prepared to embrace your own dreams and nurture your own well-being from the inside out.
These groups are a safe space to be seen...
“I felt in you sharing your own experience with your younger parts, there was such a wonderful open space to invite (mine too)... And that also gave me a lot of trust, a space of trusting you. For me, that was very beautiful.. that was a specialty in your space you opened up.”

What this group is not:
Self led self care is a new pace, a new frequency, a new element. It's like water. Being, instead of doing.
This group is not a therapy group. This isn’t stuffy or clinical.
This group is not another training. This isn’t about performing or getting it right.
This isn’t self care that’s disguised as blaming you that "you just need to take better care of yourself”
This isn’t trying to keep doing more of what the experts, the doctors, the books the podcasts say about self care.
This is about you in everyday life.
Because there's a big difference between self care behavior and Self led self care.
Self led self care is building a life you don’t need to escape from but a life that you thrive in.

More of what people are saying...
"I am really glad that I took the class. Each week, because of the safe and welcoming space that Steve created, along with sharing his knowledge, I was able to explore more deeply just what true self-care means for me. Attending the class was self care! I came away knowing that whatever self care looks like at different times and in different contexts, is valid and personal. It's an ongoing process that takes intention and attention and Steve helped affirm that for and with me."

Your questions answered...
What is sculpting?
The group utilizes sculpting for both short (“mini-sculpting”) and longer processes. When you sculpt you bring a part outside of yourself and somebody else role-plays it. This can be like a birth. The dynamics become more real, more clear. It's not something that just gets talked about or something that remains stuck or complicated. Sculpting helps create greater connection and resonance between you and your parts.
Why do you use sculpting?
Sculpting is a safe and valuable way to share and to be witnessed by others in the group. When others hold our parts we receive the gift of others supporting us. And it can be amazing to experience that when others hold our parts it can be helpful to others! This is different than what most people experienced growing up. Through holding other people’s parts, we can see the purity of their parts and of our own.
I'm going to miss a group, do you still recommend I participate? Can I get a recording of the group?
The groups are highly experiential and while we don't recommend missing a group, we know that life sometimes has other plans. In past groups, we have shared a recording of the group as long as the participants present give consent to have it shared.
Any suggestions about the time of day to do the group?
While you aren’t acting as a therapist or facilitator for others, it is a space where participants may feel or express themselves deeply. It’s important to consider what time of day that would work best for you. Ideally, we would recommend a buffer before and after so you can get the most out of it and integrate the experience.
Do you recommend that I take the group with someone I know?
Great question! It's really about what works best for you. For some, it can be very meaningful and powerful to share an experience like this with a friend, family member or colleague. For example, one person invited a peer group of colleagues that she wanted to experience this with. For others, not knowing others but being with like-minded and like-hearted peers makes them feel safer to open up. Regardless, the groups are designed to harness the collective energy and to help everyone to connect with one another in a meaningful and supportive way.
I've still got a question!
