INNER SYNERGY workshop :: mindful-somatics informed by Internal Family Systems) — belgium

  • The Forest, Paúl Mafra, Lisbon, 2640 Portugal (map)

Sometimes there are parts within us that battle.

One part wants to succeed, another part wants to hide.
One part wants to connect with others, another part wants to be alone.
One part wants to be free, another part isn’t sure it’s safe.
One part wants a partner, another part believes intimacy is scary.

These inner conflicts can feel a bit like having one foot on the accelerator and the other the brake at the same time. This can show up as stagnation, tension and frustration. No progress, no change, despite willing it.

These parts are not bad, they’re simply trying to do something for you — to protect you.

How to find a way forward?

That’s what we’re doing on this mindful-somatic IFS-informed workshop — rather than fight against them, we learn what’s going on and help them into a new configuration with you at as the CEO of your life. This also includes having the permission and tools to safely release the tension these parts might be holding…

This is how we come into inner harmony with all our parts and find *power* within ourselves…

This workshop is based on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) psychotherapeutic and Somatic Trauma Resolution approaches.

WHAT YOU’LL GET:

Through guided somatic practice and supportive psycho-education:

  • Release baggage and issues you've been holding onto

  • Find more energy and clarity (less hesitation!) with decisions and momentum in your life

  • Discover how to be in collaboration with the voices/needs within, not in a battle

  • Understand your nervous system and how to come back to ease rather than in perpetual survival mode (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)

  • Learn tools to support a state of power, self-nurturing and emotional wellness day-to-day

  • Let go of the war and judgment inside yourself

  • Learn and practice tools to digest emotion in ways that *supports* the nervous system, not frazzles you

  • Lead your life from your Self, not your hidden subconscious parts

This is for you if You…

  • Are longing for clarity but feel pulled in opposing directions.

  • Keep repeating patterns in relationships that don’t feel good — and you want to understand why and re-pattern to something more supportive.

  • Are aware of your triggers but struggle to shift them in the moment.

  • Want to make aligned decisions without second-guessing yourself for days.

  • Are done with ‘pushing’ and ready to listen to what your system is actually asking for.

  • Are emotionally intelligent, but your body still carries stress, tension, or resistance.

  • Want a space that’s trauma-aware, somatic, and spiritually grounded — not just talk-therapy or mindset work.

  • Want to live life from your deepest, powerful core

  • Want to feel in flow with yourself again, not constantly managing or fixing.
