From One Heart to Many: Somatic IFS Practices for Embodying Self-Love and Self-Energy with Steve Chee
Dr. Steve Chee, during the early stages of his medical career, encountered burnout that served as a gateway to a profound kundalini awakening. This pivotal moment unveiled his true calling: guiding others on their journey to reconnect with their innate loving essence so we might all share it with the world.
With over two decades of experience exploring the intricate interplay between mind, body, and spirit, Dr. Chee has crafted a series of unique practices. Drawing from his background as an Integrative East-West Physician, Certified IFS therapist, authorized qigong teacher, and trained yoga instructor, these somatic IFS practices seamlessly blend ancient wisdom with the transformative insights of Internal Family Systems.
The retreat will be co-hosted by Mindful Child & Family Therapy and Collective Self Energy of California.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Would you like to indulge in a weekend getaway nestled in the serene Santa Cruz mountains, where you can immerse yourself in the nurturing embrace of Self love and Self energy?
The journey of embodying Self energy often feels elusive or confusing. Where does it originate? Are there practices informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) that can aid in cultivating this embodied presence?
Join us as we delve into these questions and beyond! Embodying Self love and Self energy entails returning to the essence of who we are, allowing the gentle warmth of our hearts to meet every facet and part of our being. It's a profound acknowledgment of our sacred connection to ourselves, to others, and to the universe around us.
During this rejuvenating retreat, you'll be invited to rediscover your own childlike innocence and wonder. Together, we'll explore tailored practices designed to nurture and empower you to share the boundless warmth and tenderness of your heart with all parts of your being.
