Empowering Our Capacity to Respond Wisely without Burning Out
Parts Work is a remarkably effective, empowering, and dignifying approach to inner healing and wise leadership.
Our emotional wellbeing and planetary wellbeing are intertwined. As we tend to our inner ecosystems, we become more capable of responding to our current times with wisdom, creativity and compassion.
While there are many expressions of Parts Work, this approach is specifically tailored to relate to existential planetary crises such as climate breakdown, war and genocide, political upheaval and polarization, ecological devastation, AI, injustice and othering and more.
Facilitated by Lisa Ferguson, Ph.D.
Lisa is trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and multiple other modalities that inform her unique integration of Parts Work for Planetary Crises. She’s worked as a coach offering a combination of parts work, somatic leadership, and engaged nonduality to leaders, changemakers, visionaries, and NGOs. Deeply listening to her clients’ experiences and years of facilitating parts work groups focused on our planetary crises and unwinding racism informs this approach.
Some of the unique integrations into her expression of parts work include training in Interpersonal Neurobiology, Effortless Mindfulness, Meditative Inquiry, Taoism, various somatic and trauma-informed practices, wellbeing-informed practices, and being mentored in the Direct Path.
