Join us in a warm, inclusive community as we read and explore No Bad Parts by Dr. Richard Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS). This transformative book invites us to look within and discover that every part of ourselves—even those we may have rejected or feared—deserves compassion, understanding, and healing.

Together, we will move through the book chapter by chapter, reflecting on its insights and integrating the practices into our personal and collective lives. This group is not a therapy group, but a safe and supportive space to grow in self-awareness, share experiences, and support one another in the spirit of curiosity and acceptance.

Whether you’re new to IFS or already familiar with the model, you are welcome here. Bring your whole self—there are no bad parts.

What to expect:

  • Weekly gatherings with guided discussions and reflections
  • Opportunities for personal sharing (always optional)
  • Experiential exercises based on IFS principles
  • A compassionate, confidential, and community-oriented atmosphere

Our intention is to co-create a space where each person feels seen, heard, and valued as we journey together toward inner wholeness.
