Discover the Freedom That's Already Within You

Join the Self-Energy Circle –
A Practice Community for Accessing Your Innate Healing Capacity

You don't need to be fixed. You need to be connected.

Within you right now exists an abundant source of calmness, clarity, compassion, and courage. This isn't something you need to earn, develop, or achieve—it's already there, waiting beneath the protective layers of worry, criticism, and overwhelm that life has taught you to carry.

The Self-Energy Circle is an intimate practice community where you'll learn to access this innate wisdom through the profound and proven framework of Internal Family Systems (IFS).

What If You Could...

  • Move from overwhelmed to spacious – Transform the feeling of being crowded by anxious thoughts into experiencing room to breathe and think clearly

  • Lead from wisdom instead of reaction – Respond to life's challenges from your centered Self rather than your triggered parts

  • Feel genuinely connected – Experience authentic relationship with yourself and a community of others, free from the masks of performance and people-pleasing

  • Trust your inner guidance – Access the courage and clarity you need to make aligned decisions in work, relationships, and life

This Isn't Therapy. It's a Practice Community.

The Self-Energy Circle is for you if:

  • You're tired of feeling controlled by your anxious, critical, or defensive parts

  • You want to learn practical tools for accessing your inner wisdom daily

  • You're seeking authentic connection with others on a similar growth journey

  • You're curious about Internal Family Systems but want experiential learning, not just theory

  • You're ready to move beyond coping strategies toward genuine transformation

This community isn't for you if:

  • You're looking for a quick fix or surface-level positivity

  • You prefer to work alone rather than in community

  • You're not willing to engage in vulnerable, authentic sharing

  • You're currently in crisis and need clinical therapeutic support

How We Practice Together

  • Q: Do I need prior experience with IFS? A: Not at all. We welcome both newcomers and experienced practitioners. Our approach is designed to meet you wherever you are in your journey.

    Q: Is this religiously affiliated? A: No. While we explore the spiritual dimension of Self-energy, our approach is non-denominational and welcomes people of all backgrounds and beliefs.

Ready to Discover What's Already Within You?

The Self-Energy Circle isn't about adding more to your life—it's about removing what's blocking access to the wisdom, compassion, and clarity you already possess.

If you're ready to move from feeling overwhelmed by your parts to experiencing the spaciousness of Self-energy, we'd love to have you join us.
