You help others embody Self.
Here, you return to yours.™

Many practitioners understand the IFS model well. Far fewer live consistently from Self-led leadership. Something else takes over.

You already do a lot for others: trainings, supervision, client work, and everything you hold in your personal life.

Competence can become an insulating armor. Over-functioning starts to look like leadership. Depth gets replaced by management.

This group is a space to step out from behind that.

A structured 12-week process where you don’t have to guide, hold, or perform, where your system becomes the focus.

No agenda. No performance evaluation. Just direct contact with what is actually there, in a small, safe, professionally guided relational field where real internal movement can happen.

Spaces like this for practitioners are rare. Only six spots per cohort.

If something in you recognizes this, you can claim a spot in the upcoming May cohort.

From a returning participant:

“From the very beginning of this 12-week group, every part of me felt welcomed, valued, and genuinely cared for. The impact was immediate; it began shifting how I relate to myself and how I show up with my clients.

Within this space, my system felt safe enough to reveal and release long-held burdens of shame and despair I had carried for decades. In their place, I’ve gained a deeper sense of confidence, presence, and connection.

There’s a difference between intellectually knowing your worth and actually feeling it in the presence of others. Through this experience, I now carry a grounded sense of calm and connection I can return to again and again. It has been deeply healing and reparative.”

— Kim Williamson, Licensed Mental Health Counselor – Greensboro, NC

“Ciro is a profoundly compassionate and deeply intelligent IFS Practitioner.”

“This group felt safe in a way that is quite rare. I didn’t need to perform; I could just be. I experienced that I can be myself and still be in connection.

The way you guide, Ciro, made my parts relax into Self energy. I felt light and connected, and more able to hear myself and do what is right for me.

I now carry a deeper sense of inner safety that I can take with me into life.”

—Anuschka Hallander – IFS Level 3 Practitioner – Stockholm, Sweden
Former Participant, IFS Healing Circle for IFS Therapists & Practitioners

“I came in longing for presence, with parts that were deeply wary of connection and didn’t trust that any group could feel safe.

There were powerful moments where I felt truly seen. You saw more than my concerns, and I dropped into Self within seconds. It reminded me of the power of being seen and accepted.

Over time, something shifted. I began to feel grounded, with glimpses of ease, and even joy. I now have more hope that connection and being myself can actually go together.

Watching you hold the structure, Ciro, while also being with your own parts, and never making me wrong, was deeply reparative. This whole experience has been powerful and healing for me.”

— L.G.L., Psychotherapist – San Francisco, CA

“I come from a history of judgment and learned to protect myself by staying disconnected or only connecting on a surface level.

I was surprised by the depth and vulnerability each person brought to the group. The level of Self-led sharing created a profound sense of safety, and the group became a sacred space where all parts were welcome.

After these twelve weeks, I feel more comfortable sharing vulnerably and deeply appreciate the safety created by the group and by Ciro.

If you struggle to feel safe in relationships or groups, this is a powerful place to understand your inner world and practice showing up authentically with others who will support you.”
