Advanced IFS Professional Groups
Learn intermediate and advanced techniques and understandings that go beyond what is taught in our Basic and Exiles IFS Courses. This is advanced learning and case consultation on IFS.
ABOUT THE GROUP
Each group includes teaching, case consultation, Q&A, demonstration IFS sessions, and group exercises. You pair up between groups to practice doing IFS sessions with each other. This is a very important part of the group, and people say how much they get from working with each other.
We cover a wide variety of different topics, including:
- IFS techniques
- IFS understandings
- Helping your clients cultivate capacities of Self for the IFS process
- Applying IFS to certain psychological issues
- IFS therapist capacities
ACTIVITIES
- Lecture and discussion
- Questions about IFS and short consultations with clients
- Demonstrate IFS sessions where Jay or Bonnie works with someone from the group.
- Demonstrate IFS sessions where one participant works with another under our real-time guidance.
- Demonstrate IFS session where Jay or Bonnie works with someone role-playing a client of theirs
- Pairing up for practice IFS sessions homework

Group Details
- Pre-Requisites: In order to qualify for the group, you must have taken our Basic IFS Course and Exiles Courses, or the IFS Institute Level 1 training, or equivalent. It is important that you are practicing IFS, with yourself and your clients. (You can take the recorded versions of the Basic and Exiles Courses.) You will also be asked to fill out a Questionnaire as the first step in your registration process.
- Each group is limited to 8-9 participants.
- Tuition for participation in the Advanced Professional IFS groups is $180/month.
- You join when there is an opening, and you stay as long as you want. However, the groups work best when there is a continuity of membership, so plan to stay in the group at least 4 months if it works for you. You can try a group out for a month before committing to it.
- All group materials, including videos of each session, will be available to registered participants on a dedicated Advanced Professional IFS Group Homepage.
- These groups are approved by the IFS Institute for IFS CE credit, but they are not a substitute for taking the IFS Level 1 professional training from the IFS Institute.

What People Are Saying About the Advanced Professional IFS Groups:
Advanced consultation with Bonnie has been such a great investment. It never ceases to how much there is to learn with this model, even after having done the content equivalent of level 3 training and more. But every time I attend Bonnie's advanced consult group, I walk away something new. Bonnie's teaching blends IFS mastery, somatic attunement, relational care, life wisdom, and spiritual depth to create a potent container for personal and professional growth.
The other group members are wonderful as well - thoughtful, caring, attuned and generous of soul. All in all, truly, the experience is a gift and I'm so glad I found it.

In each meeting I can count on a series of experiences! Bonnie welcomes and settles us in by name. She then leads us in a guided meditation which stimulates a discussion of a hot topic we have chosen as a group. Then there is opportunity to bring cases and problems for the group to hold and give feedback. After a short break we witness either Bonnie or another group member do a demonstration of experiential IFS work. I could not ask for a richer experience in 2 hours of professional development!

Bonnie brings an obvious wealth of experience to our Consultation Group. The format of the group is ideal, encouraging personal growth, development of IFS knowledge and skills, and creating a safe member community. How is that possible, you ask? We start with a short heart-centered meditation that introduces a significant topic to explore, then case consultation followed by an opportunity to participate in an IFS demo with Bonnie or a fellow class member. These demos are priceless opportunities to deepen our understanding of what it really means to honor someone’s system and nurture deep inner connection. All of these experiences build community beautifully.
