... and over 20 years experience exploring the mind-body-spirit connection
You’ve had insights in individual therapy but why haven't certain things changed in your life?
Because there’s a difference between going inside alone with your challenges and bringing them outside of you with other people witnessing, and watching others change their lives as well.
Introducing Self led self care groups
Groups where all individuals can be uniquely celebrated
Honest sharing, time to reflect, mutual support and connection
A space that can hold deeply mystical experiences as well as parts that think it’s all a joke
A sacred container filled with loving care, clear intention and joyful warmth to help everyone connect inward and shine outward
Witness and be witnessed, inspire and be inspired by others in the group.
Self led self care is knowing that whatever comes your way, you can love yourself through it.
This is 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.”
Christine
Who's a good fit for one of these groups?
Self led self care connects your parts to your original quality of love.
You're familiar with IFS. You know how to distinguish Self versus part, and you are able to identify parts and polarities.
You’ve already made big choices in your self care journey. Maybe you stopped one career because it just wasn’t right for you. Or maybe you’ve been through therapy.
You know your dreams matter. You want to follow your own dreams and have the courage to put some juice into them.
You are like a beautiful butterfly hanging onto a stick, not quite trusting that you can fly. You're ready to let your parts know that you can handle it now & open your wings.
You're grateful for parts that have kept you hidden or overly busy. But you're ready now to stand for what’s yours and give back to others what is theirs, out of love.
You have a good life but there's a belief you can't keep any for yourself. You're supposed to give more to others. But you want to nourish yourself and not just give it all away.
Be a part of our growing IFS Self care community
What makes being who you are and singing your own song even better?
Being with others who are doing the same! So invite your friends and family to join our Self led self care movement
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 “you're sick and now what do you do about it”.
This group is not another training. This isn’t about performing or getting it right.
This is not the usual self care people talk about. This isn’t self care that’s disguised as a way to blame you or make you feel that you “just need to take better care of yourself”
This isn’t learning more or doing what other people are telling you to do, like the experts, the doctors, the books, the podcasts that talk about self care.
This is about you in everyday life.
There's a difference between self care behavior and Self led self care.
This is not about trying to be good or about giving yourself a treat for good behavior.
Self led self care is not just should I rest more, or should I have more time for myself? But also where does my Self energy unfold? Where does my heart sing?
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. For example, past participants have noted they enjoyed doing it at the end of the day.
