Sitting In The Self: Exploring The 8 C’s Of Internal Family Systems

This course invites you to come home to yourself. Beneath the noise, the roles, and the inner conflict, there’s a place of calm, clarity, and peace. A place that’s always been there. What Internal Family Systems (IFS) calls the Self. Rooted in the IFS model of therapy, and drawing on elements of Buddhism, Tantra, and habit formation theory, this course offers a practical, compassionate path inward. Each session focuses on one of the 8 C’s of the Self: Calm, Curiosity, Clarity, Compassion, Connection, Confidence, Courage, and Creativity. Through guided meditations, mindfulness, breathwork, and reflection, you’ll learn how to access these qualities and begin to lead your life from a steadier place. IFS sees the mind as a system of parts. Some protect. Some carry pain. Some have been buried for a long time. But none of them are bad. They all formed for a reason. Through this model, healing is about building a relationship with them, led by the Self, not through fear or shame. This process is similar to inner child healing and shadow work. It’s a way of meeting your hidden, hurting, and forgotten parts. No judgment. No fixing. Just presence. This course will help you find a place of inner sanctuary and strength, offering you the tools to process the past, accept the present, and embrace the future with positivity and purpose.
