protector parts collage workshop

Protective Self: Protector Parts Collage WorkshopA creative, embodied practice for honoring the parts of you that work so hard to keep you safe.In this workshop, we’ll explore the protective parts of your system—the ones that step in to manage, control, distract, or defend. Through intuitive collage and guided inquiry, you’ll give shape and voice to these parts, uncovering what they carry, what they fear, and what they truly need.Rooted in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, this process helps us move beyond judgment and into relationship with our defenses. When we understand these parts, we create the conditions for trust, balance, and healing integration.No art experience necessary—just a curious heart.This workshop is part of a 3-part journey into the tender, the protective, and the centered parts of your being. Each session stands alone and requires separate registration, but we recommend attending all three for the most integrated experience.Part I: Tender Self (Inner Child) : The younger part of you who still longs for safety, joy, and belonging.Part 2: Protective Self (Protector Parts): The fierce and loyal parts who work hard to keep you safe—sometimes at great cost.Part 3: Centered Self (Core Self): The calm, clear, compassionate presence within you that can hold it all.*Can’t make it in person? A limited number of virtual spots are available for each workshop.The Zoom option is designed to offer a grounded, connected experience from wherever you are. You'll join the opening circle, receive the same guided visualizations and journaling prompts, and be supported through the collage process from your own space.We recommend preparing your materials ahead of time—magazines, scissors, glue, and a quiet space where you can be undisturbed.While this won’t be the same as being in the room, we believe healing can still happen in circle—even across distance.Please note: remote spots are limited to preserve the intimacy of the group.All materials are provided, but you’re welcome to bring any images or collage items that feel personally meaningful.
