Internal Family Systems (IFS):

• Core Concept: IFS is an evidence based, “cutting edge” therapeutic modality that views the mind as composed of multiple "parts" (subpersonalities) centered around a compassionate "Self."

• Key Principles: All parts have positive intentions; symptoms are protective, not diagnostic criteria for pathological disorders; the goal is internal harmony led by the Self.

• Healing Process: Identify parts, access the calm Self, heal and retrieve wounded parts, unite and integrate the internal system with Self-leadership

• Applications: Developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, IFS is used in various therapeutic, clinical, and non-clinical settings to promote wholeness, self-awareness, freedom, and Self-leadership

Jungian depth psychology and mythopoetic soul craft: 

• Individuation Process: Focuses on the lifelong journey of integrating conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche, leading to the realization of the Self.

• Archetypal Exploration: Engages with universal patterns (archetypes) in the collective unconscious through myths, dreams, and active imagination.

• Shadow Work: Involves confronting and integrating the shadow, the repressed or unconscious aspects of one's personality.

• Anima/Animus Integration: Emphasizes the importance of recognizing and integrating the contrasexual aspects of the psyche for psychological wholeness.

• Synchronicity and Symbolic Life: Cultivates awareness of meaningful coincidences and symbolic experiences as manifestations of the unus mundus, or underlying unity of all things.

• Mythopoetic Identity: Encourages the discovery of one's unique soul purpose through engagement with personal and collective myths, often facilitated by nature-based practices.

Ancestral, prehistoric healing methods:

• Altered States: Use self-designed rituals, drumming, and somatic movement to shift consciousness and heart coherence, without adhering to specific dogmas

• Inner Journeying: Employ visualization and sensory awareness to explore the collective and personal unconscious, navigating liminal spaces and alternate realities

• Ancestral Work: Focus on healing generational trauma and uncovering inherited gifts and wisdom through inner journeying and energetic practices

• Life Force Connection: Cultivate a sense of oneness with the broader community of life, attuning to the interconnected web of existence and natural energies

• Allies: Engage with healing, guiding, and protective spirits (or archetypes and complexes for secular practitioners) to receive support and insights during journeys and daily life
