Finding Meaning in Transitions: Being Self-led Through Change
offered by Robin Beardsley and Elizabeth Parsons

Transitions across the lifespan can be overwhelming, discouraging and frustrating but also delightful, enriching and transformational. IFS gives us the framework to be with change in a different way. When we befriend the parts of us that get activated by transitions we will have more access to our inner wisdom to respond in a Self-led way.
Robin and I have been on a mission these past few years to explore how our parts respond to change. We invite you to join us for a day of exploring and connecting through meditation, reflective exercises, small group sharing and a demo. To promote safety and intimacy, the group will be limited to a maximum of 18 participants.
We believe these life transitions are sacred. Holding them in community allows us to connect with common humanity and support each other within a field of Self-energy. Our hope is that this workshop might be the catalyst to help you move through stuck places. We look forward to welcoming you in creating this space and learning together.

*NEW* Book introducing IFS to Physicians
"This well-written book offers hope: that even in the most demanding environments, healing and balance can emerge when protectors are approached with curiosity and compassion. It brings clear guidance to the injunction 'Physician, heal thyself'."

Now What? Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life
offered by Robin Beardsley and Elizabeth Parsons
March 21, 2025 10AM - 5:30PM ET
Do you have the sense that you have passed a threshold in your life and wish for something different? Perhaps you have been serving others at the expense of yourself or you've been searching for something that hasn't turned out the way you imagined. Maybe you have been wondering why your work hasn't been feeling as fulfilling lately.
We've experienced these feelings and thoughts and have been exploring our own parts related to our needs, dreams, wishes, and the inevitable changes that this second half of life brings with it.
We invite you to join us for a day of exploring, learning, connecting and growing together.
