Donating to The Long Table - April 2025

Thanks to all who came to this months IFS Drop In Community Healing Circles - in Stroud and online.

This month we experienced our innate CALM.

In the meditation we were invited to find that wonderful inner stillness inside - or to remember a time we felt our inner calm, to imagine calm as a light spreading throughout our bodies.. breathing in calm, breathing out calm. We also met parts of us that block or judge this quality - it’s too dangerous to be calm. And ones that insist we are quiet and still. Don’t make a fuss!

Each of the groups brought different magic .. in addition to the meditation, there was time to introduce ourselves, process both in the big group and in 2s or 3s. We creatively drew and wrote and marked, meeting our parts externally. In each group a courageous participant offered us insight into their inner world - and invited others to represent their parts whilst held in Self energy by the group - such tender, beautiful sculpts 💜

I am so grateful for these circles and communities we are creating. For the witnessing and sharing, the normalising of parts and speaking for our parts.

Here’s me donating £145 to The Long Table Stroud at Brimscombe Mill. The rest of the donations go to £72 room hire - combined room hire - at the Exchange. (I take renumeration from the online Drop In).

See you next month - focusing on another quality of Self: Confidence

- for more guided meditation, parts mapping and inner system “sculpting” (participants representing protective parts externally), some sharing and listening.

Warm wishes all
