IFS in the Living Field is a 3-day, experiential, nature-based training for IFS practitioners, delivered by Jude and Natural Academy.

The training explores IFS not only as a model of parts, but as an inner ecology held within a wider living, relational field. Learning takes place in and with nature, supported by guided practices, theory inputs, group inquiry, reflection, and integration.

This is a practice-focused training, held within a supportive and relational learning field, with time and space for embodied exploration rather than content overload.

If you’re curious about what it means to practise IFS as part of a wider living field, this training offers a grounded, relational space to explore that together.

❋ From Inner System to Inner Ecology

This training challenges something at the heart of IFS - the idea of Self as transcendent, unburdened, above it all. We'll be exploring whether wholeness is actually more like an ecology: one that includes not just clarity and calm, but compost, woundedness, scars, and integration.

Participants leave with:

  • A felt sense of being part of nature, not separate from it - embodied, not just understood

  • A shift in how you hold self-energy, informed by ecological rather than transcendent thinking

  • Practical ways to bring nature connection into your work, whether you work outdoors, in a room, or on Zoom

  • Tools you can actually use with clients, not just ideas to carry home

❋ Learning in and with nature

Teaching takes place across the land and spaces at Ham Green Outdoor Centre, including the Round House and surrounding grounds, with indoor spaces available as needed.

Nature is engaged not as a backdrop, but as an active participant in the learning field. Practices are designed to support ethical, grounded, and relational ways of working in and with the more-than-human.

❋ Who this training is for

This training is for IFS therapists and practitioners who have a sense that something is missing - in the model, in the room, or in their own practice. Perhaps you've felt the pull of the outdoors but haven't known how to work there ethically or skillfully. Perhaps the transcendent Self of IFS has never quite captured your experience of wholeness. Perhaps you simply want to bring more of the living world into the therapeutic relationship.

You don't need to be a "nature person." You are nature. This training meets you wherever you are with that.
