About this live event
This workshop addresses the profound universal wound of separation from the earth through an integrated framework combining Robert Kegan’s adult development model, Ecopsychology, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is a key component, serving as a tool which helps build the bridge from early stages of adult development, toward more advanced stages. In IFS terms, "Self" represents these mature stages, characterized by self-leadership and a deep sense of personal agency, while "parts" often reflect earlier stages marked by reactivity and disconnection. Through guided exercises, discussions, and practical applications, the workshop provides professionals with tools to facilitate both their own and their clients' progression toward later developmental stages. These later stages are characterized by an increased capacity to hold complexity, and a deepened compassion and curiosity for self and others, alongside an acute awareness of interdependence. Such development is essential for healing the divisions between self, others, and the natural world, ultimately cultivating a holistic sense of community and connection.
