You don't need to be a leader or have it all figured out — you just need to be the person who brings it up. Fill out the interest form, and I'll help you think through what format might fit (a single workshop, an ongoing circle, or a retreat) before anything is decided. You can explore this for your group individually without committing them to anything yet.

That's completely normal, and it doesn't mean the idea is wrong for your group. Many groups start with a single low-commitment session (the 2-4 Hour Workshop) as a way to "try it on" before considering an ongoing format. It's also okay if not everyone participates right away, some groups grow and add members over time.

Yes, it's different — this isn't individual therapy and doesn’t have to be deep dive group therapy. No one is required to disclose more than they want to. The work is about learning a shared language (the IFS "parts" framework) for understanding reactions and patterns, both individually and as a group. You're always in control of what you share. We also set the intention of the group clearly from the start.

Actually, the opposite is usually true. Groups that already share trust: friends, colleagues, a moms' group, a peer circle — tend to go deeper faster than strangers would, because the foundation of safety is already there. The goal isn't to create new vulnerability out of nowhere; it's to give an existing relationship a better shared language.

Yes. Standard confidentiality practices apply to everyone in the group, the same as any group setting. I'll walk through exactly what that means and any limits to confidentiality in general and in a group setting before we begin.

A simple way to introduce it: "I came across this opportunity - a therapist who works with existing groups like ours on building a shared language for handling stuff. I thought it sounded interesting and wanted to see if anyone else would want to look into it with me." From there, I'm happy to answer your group's questions directly, or join a quick call with whoever's curious.

Totally flexible. Some groups start with the Workshop to test the waters, then move into the Ongoing Circle. Others come together for a retreat and decide afterward if they want continued sessions. We build the format around what your group actually needs, not the other way around.

Pricing varies by format (see above) and is usually split among members or covered by whoever's organizing — there's no single "right" way to handle it. We can talk through what makes sense for your group's situation.
