Two-Day In-Person Trainings

The in-person experiential trainings are focused on hands-on practice of the model with horses. Since IFS is a model that needs to be embodied to be facilitated, this is a therapeutic professional workshop, as each person will be working with their own system as they practice Self-Led Facilitation. There will also be demonstrations, discussions and group process.

There are only 9 spaces so that participants get focused support to deepen and expand their skills.

Cost: $950, and includes:
