THE WELL: CIRCLE KEEPER TRAINING FOR IFS PRACTITIONERS

Why This Work Matters Now:

Leading circles in this cultural moment is not just a professional skill.
It’s a counter-cultural act. A quiet rebellion against disconnection.
A way to restore our collective faith in humanity — one round of listening at a time.

Circle becomes the container where Self can emerge — in you, in others, in the community you serve. And as a bonus? It may also serve as a sacred funnel into your own practice.

In a time of rupture , where trust is fraying, certainty is scarce, and communities are gasping for connection, The Well invites us to return to the deep.

Many who experience Circle find themselves longing for deeper one-on-one work. Hosting these spaces in your community naturally creates connection and trust, allowing potential clients to experience your presence and approach before ever entering your practice. It’s not about promotion — it’s about invitation. When we lead from Self, those who are ready will find their way to the well.

This 4-hour immersive training is for IFS-informed practitioners, therapists, and guides who feel called to hold healing spaces in their communities. Rooted in the Restorative Justice Listening Circle model and infused with Self-energy, this training will give you the confidence to try out the model.

What You’ll Receive:

• A guided experience of a Restorative Circle from the facilitator’s seat
