During this weekend you will be invited to become more familiar with your own “grief cluster” that responds to the inevitability of attachment and loss. You will be invited to explore your own loss history – what your parts learned as a child – and your body’s relationship to grief. We will look at the applicability of a “loss lens” to midlife, aging and other life transitions.
You will learn how attention to, and appreciation for the parts that helps us with this all-too-human process naturally leads to the Self-led gratitude for the gifts inherent in connecting.
This weekend offers a mix of didactic and experiential opportunities to:
- become more confident in working with many kinds of loss

- ask as many questions as you need
- continue to develop community with other IFS-informed folk
