I just completed a 10-week IFS and Chakra course, and I’m genuinely and deeply moved by how transformative the experience was. What made it so special was the structure: each week offered a completely different lens and angle for exploring a specific energy center in the body. Every session was unique and wove together somatic and physical awareness, emotional states, and new perspectives in a way that felt fresh, deep, and cumulative. Through this journey, I traveled across the full spectrum of my own story —from patterns rooted in my youth and ancestral heritage, through the spiritual and energetic threads that have shaped who I am, all the way to how I show up physically and emotionally in my day-to-day life, and even how I envision my legacy and long-term future. It was a genuinely holistic exploration of self that I’ve never been able to feel so deeply together. It was a profound level of FULL integration of my being. What I’ll carry with me most is the practice of presence. This course gave me real, embodied tools for returning to peace in any moment, which has always been quite foreign to me — not just as a concept, but as something I can actually feel and access. I came away with a far deeper understanding of my values (not the ones I was told to value), a clearer sense of what makes me uniquely me, and a more intimate connection with my own body and spirit. Perhaps the most profound shift for me was around self-acceptance and self-compassion. For the very first time, I was truly able to hold all of myself for a time — including the parts I have carried deep shame and insecurity about — with gentleness and love. I felt, in a real and embodied way, that I am lovable and beautiful, flaws and all. That alone feels like a revolutionary shift in how I relate to myself and my life and I am on a new path now that I have awareness it’s possible for me to love myself in an honest way. I want to do this course again. There was so much rich and beautiful information that I know there is still so much more to discover and integrate. And more than anything, I want to keep practicing the art of being truly present — in my body, in my life, in each moment — because the peace and contentment I found here is something I want to continue coming home to, and practicing loving myself is worth pretty much anything to me. If you’re looking for a course that honors all of you — physical, emotional, energetic, and visionary — I cannot recommend this course highly enough.
Great course! It was my first time diving into group work with limited background in inner healing - DEF recommend. Wins: feeling more aligned with MY truth/path, having a stronger understanding my body/feelings, feeling seen and supported by others, building community/trust. Hannah and Joe do a great job adapting to the needs of the group, providing genuine support, and facilitating a complex course in a gentle manner. The material provided and connections made and is something I'll have for years to come to hold, reflect, and grow on - such a great experience!
I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for facilitating such a transformational course. The anticipated alchemy of Internal Family Systems (whose approach I have benefitted from) and Chakra energy (whose approach I longed to embody more) drew me in. With an attitude of ‘If not now, then when?’, I made a commitment to myself by signing up. It was as if I was living the spiritual truth of “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear”. What a deep and fun journey inward we shared! I genuinely feel a far greater sense of peace and freedom that comes from embracing all parts of myself when I now am able to show up as my authentic self. My sense of safety is more and more based in my internal foundation of trust and unimpaired alignment with divine guidance, versus historic patterns of hypervigilance and attempts at controlling outer circumstances. Hanna and Joe, may you continue to share your gifts so that others are able to grow into their fullness.
