RegisterWhy do we do things we know we shouldn’t?
How do we live in alignment with our wisest Self?
There are answers to these questions, and a proven way to find those answers.
“Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself.
I am large, I contain multitudes.” - Walt Whitman

Humans are complex beings. We all have multifaceted personalities. What if you could meet each facet of your personality, even the ones you don’t like, and get to know why they drive you to act and feel certain ways? Good news: You can! Through getting to know your parts, you can shift out of patterns and behaviors that aren’t serving you.

VENTURE INWARD
A FREE digital training designed to help you understand every part of yourself and put your wisest Self in the driver’s seat of your life.
Self criticism is never going to motivate you to change your ways, but curiosity and compassion will.
Learn how parts work can liberate you from cycles you’re tired of repeating.

Any of this sound familiar?
- You’ve read several self-help books, maybe even gone to therapy, but even though you’re self aware you can’t seem to shift out of undesirable habits and behaviorsÂ
- You’re constantly criticizing yourself or feeling shame for doing things you know you don’t want to be doing anymore, like people pleasing, overworking, prioritizing others over yourself, social media scrolling, drinking, etc.
- You’re aware of patterns that are self-sabotaging but can’t seem to break out of them, like perfectionism, procrastination, self-criticism, codependency, anger, stubbornness etc.
- You struggle to feel or name your emotions, seldom cry, or tend to analyze your feelings rather than feel them
- When stressed or overwhelmed, you turn to things that create more problems for you, like shopping, drinking, binge eating, dissociating, doom scrolling, etc.
- You’re aware of what you need or want to do (set boundaries, exercise more, meditate, etc.) but can’t seem to follow through on doing it or always find reasons not to.
- You struggle to meditate because you can’t quiet your mind, or you avoid meditation for fear of what you might find within.
Self awareness is only the first step.
Once you identify a pattern you’d like to change, you need a proven method for effectively creating change that lasts.
That’s where parts work comes in.
Even parts of us that seem self-sabotaging and destructive are trying to help you in their own way.
Venture Inward will help you:
- Regulate your nervous system so you can approach uncomfortable emotions and thoughts without becoming overwhelmed
- Meet your parts with curiosity, get to know them, and shift from self criticism to self compassion
- Gain a stronger sense of control over your own behaviors, thoughts, and choices
- Connect to your true Self, the wisest version of yourself that exists amidst the rest of your parts, so you can make wise choices you feel good about
- Understand that there are no bad parts of you, only scared, confused, overwhelmed parts trying to protect you from painful emotions
- Understand that there are no bad people, only wounded, scared, confused people. This will help you soften out of anger and criticism of others and will improve your conflict resolution skills.
- Harness the power of your nervous system so you can do what you know you need to do even when you don’t feel like it
What Are You Waiting For?
We’re all aware of something that needs to change in our lives, whether it’s people pleasing, overworking, or too much screen time.
If you think you’ll get around to making those changes eventually, ask yourself:
When?
Tomorrow is never promised, and today is as good a day as any to start becoming the person you desire to be in this life.
This Isn’t Just a parts work training.
Yes, you will learn about Internal Family Systems, Parts, and the nervous system, but knowledge alone is not enough. The educational portion of this training will be integrated through embodied meditation techniques so you can experience your parts and feel the power of your nervous system. Knowledge can only help us so much if we don’t know what to DO with it. Embodiment skills are an essential piece of this workshop so you can experience shifts that last beyond our time together. Past participants of these meditations have found them impactful and transformational even after just one session.
Venture Inward takes a completely different approach, combining:
-
Nervous System Training so you can stay grounded and present even when facing uncomfortable thoughts, memories, and emotions
-
Parts Work Training so you can learn the history of parts work and understand the concept of parts and how they work, and understand the qualities of your true Self
-
Embodied Parts Work Meditation so you can meet your parts with curiosity, get to know them, and better understand how to shift out of unhealthy patterns
-
Prompted Journaling so any insight you gain doesn't fade with time once the workshop ends
What Makes Venture Inward Different From Other Parts Work Trainings?
The field of psychotherapy has brought us many helpful tools for healing and self awareness, but Internal Family Systems has the ability to shift the way you see yourself and the world instantly. In addition, parts work is a more embodied approach than talk therapy, which allows for more profound insights and shifts. This online workshop isn’t a one-time event you’ll leave behind when it’s over, it has the potential to drastically shift your relationship with yourself and everyone you encounter going forward.
1. Nervous system practicesÂ
To begin our time together, we'll use simple techniques to soothe the nervous system before diving into learning and inner exploration. We can't learn new information well if our nervous system is in a stress state.
2. Intro to parts work
Once we're nice and relaxed, I'll explain the Internal Family Systems model before we explore it through meditation. Here is where you'll begin to make sense of why we keep doing things we don't want to be doing. This is also where you'll learn exactly how the "troublesome" parts of your personality are actually trying to help you.
3. Venturing Inward
Next we'll move into our parts work meditation. Guided by curiosity, we'll use yoga nidra meditation to relax the nervous system and arrive in a place of deep presence and awareness. Rather than trying to quiet the mind, the parts work portion of the meditation will guide you through approaching one of your thoughts, or parts, and asking questions to get to know what this part has to teach you about yourself.Â
4. Integration
We'll ease slowly out of meditation and immediately into a brief journaling session to record any insights that arose during the meditation.Â
Discussion and Q&A
After our meditation I'll open the room for questions and discussion.
