IFS in the Living Field is a 3-day, experiential, nature-based training for IFS practitioners, delivered by 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 invites a shift in how we understand the psyche.
Rather than working only with an internal system of parts, participants are invited to explore the psyche as an inner ecology, shaped by awareness, relationship, place, and the more-than-human world.
Key themes include:
Moving from inner system to inner ecology
Exploring system and field, including the deeper relational field from which healing arises
Experiencing Self energy in nature as shared, ecological presence
Understanding healing as regeneration, restoring wholeness and welcoming diversity
❋ 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 practitioners who have completed Level 1 training
Therapists and practitioners interested in ecopsychology and nature-based practice
Those curious about integrating IFS with place-based, relational, and ecological perspectives
