Spiritually Grounded IFS

Thanks for joining us at the 2026 IFS Annual Conference!!

We recorded this bonus conversation for you to go deeper into spiritually grounded Internal Family Systems and keep the curiosity and conversation going after our time together.

In this conversation: --What do we mean when we say "spiritual"? --How do our backgrounds shape that meaning? --What happens when a part says "I want that"? --If spirituality is one of IFS's three paradigms, where does that leave practitioners who don't see themselves as spiritual?

We don't offer tidy answers, and that's intentional.

This website is our space to continue this conversation. We both are passionate about the intersection of IFS & Spirituality. This passion is informed by our individual spiritual practices as well as our upbringing in two different traditions.
