Excited to attend The Pearl Psychedelic Institute Gathering this year - lots of great speakers lined up - many of whom were my earliest influencers!

Happy to be a part of a community that vibrantly holds the torch for psychedelic medicines becoming part of our future reality.

IFS for Expanded States: One Week Left to Join Foundations - https://mailchi.mp/moxieschool/ifs-for-expanded-states-2026-dates-posted-12776825. IFS isn't simply a model to understand. Parts work is a practice. 🌿

Its richness develops over time, as your parts repeatedly experience the loving presence and witnessing power of Self. That's very different from a quick introduction to using parts work with medicine.

If you want to truly make IFS your own, we invite you into the deep practice.

Foundations enrollment closes in just a few days.

One week left to join Foundations Year 1. 🌿

Over 10 months, we begin with your own lived experience of parts work, move deeply into the full IFS model, and then weave IFS into expanded states, retreats, practice, and community.

This isn't about simply memorizing techniques. It's about making the work your own.

Foundations begins August 31. Enrollment closes in one week.

One of our Apprentices texted me this week after a session:

"I just helped a client through a full unburdening... It was so awesome. I feel so happy like I want to celebrate!" 🕺

I smiled so big reading it.

This is why I do this work. Watching therapists, coaches, and guides discover the joy of supporting profound healing never gets old.

If you've been feeling called toward IFS and expanded states, perhaps it's worth trusting that pull.

Foundations begins soon. 💙

I'm excited to be joining DoubleBlind this Sunday for a FREE conversation on Internal Family Systems & Psychedelics.

We'll explore how IFS can support preparation, integration, and a deeper relationship with ourselves before, during, and after expanded states. Whether you're a therapist, guide, or simply curious, I'd love to have you there.

Happy to talk about IFS and Expanded States on Paul Austin’s Psychedelic Podcast. Thanks Third Wave!!

IFS isn’t just something you “do” in a session. Even when it’s not practiced throughout a psychedelic experience, it offers a framework for how to relate to ...

I had a beautiful conversation with Paul Austin on the Third Wave podcast about IFS and expanded states.

We explored something I feel deeply about:
✨ The medicine illuminates… but you are the healer.

If you’re curious about preparation, parts work, and how real transformation happens beyond the journey itself, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

A big shout out to all my Third Wave friends out there 💛

Why your psychedelic journey didn’t “work”- https://mailchi.mp/moxieschool/ifs-for-expanded-states-2026-dates-posted-12775748
Psychedelic journeys can bring powerful insight.
But insight alone doesn’t create transformation.

Without unburdening, the system stays organized around the same beliefs and patterns.

This is why so many people feel the “snap back.”

Real change happens when we move from Illumination
to Liberation
to Becoming.
