Would you like to participate in a compassionate, creative, and neuro-affirming group therapy experience?

Might you like to further understand your internal landscape of parts, through actively witnessing and sharing with others?

Working with parts in the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, is often imaginative and illuminating for those of us who identify with ADHD. In IFS, the Self welcomes parts with compassion and understanding, and inner harmony increases. Creative action methods are also commonly helpful, as we can show as well as tellwhat is going on. We will take time to share these responses together and creatively capture and reflect on our experience, through drawing, journalling, brief mindfulness meditations and embodied exercises. 

 Your facilitators, Nelida and Alistair, both have lived experience of ADHD, and each have decades of experience working in the mental health field and facilitating groups as health professionals.

Nelida is a Level 2 IFS Institute Certified Practitioner and Registered Nurse. She completed her Master’s in Counselling Degree in 2024 and runs a private counselling practice in Ōtautahi Christchurch

Alistair is both Scottish and a citizen of Aotearoa. He is a Social Worker and offers supervision, managerial training in trauma-informed and reflective supervision, and is a judicial officer for the Mental Health Tribunal, Scotland. Alistair is visiting Ōtautahi Christchurch for the summer.

NB This non-residential retreat is not intended as a substitute for IFS therapy nor a formal introduction to IFS or other models. We can gladly signpost you to those opportunities. 

You do not require an official ADHD diagnosis or to have IFS/creative action therapy experience. However, you will need to be ready to actively participate in group work and reflection and have external support for self-care.

Explore how we can honour the past and welcome the future in your adult journey. In this 3 day workshop (over 4 calendar days, lunchtime to lunchtime) we focus on our internal and external systems for releasing stuckness, and for healing and wholeness. Paying attention to unfinished relationships, illness and health - as well as thwarted purpose and happiness - we seek to release what is no longer helpful. We invite greater clarity about what holds us back, using Family Constellations, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and group-work. Acknowledging our excluded emotions, inter-generational inheritances, thoughts and knowings (often that were removed from awareness for our survival and stability) allows us new growth and perspectives.

NOTE this workshop presumes readiness for experiential work, and openness to systemic approaches - this is NOT an IFS introduction or substitute.

Testimonials from last year's event - 

· "Releasing blocks holding us back in life, achieved with the support and love of the group, guidance of facilitators, wisdom of the body and having conversations with our ancestors. Transpersonal experience that travels in space and time and touches other family loved ones. We helped each other in our thoughtful group, it can't be described in words and must be experienced!"

· "This workshop expanded my view of myself and people around me, it allowed the space for missing pieces of puzzles to come together. Stunning."

· "A fascinating dive into family constellation ideas and how they work in practice. Interesting group and lovely sense of connection."
