Mastering IFS:
for Clients and Self
Learn the essential IFS skills that lead to confident sessions and lasting client change—starting now.
✨ You're drawn to IFS for a reason...
You’ve seen what parts work can do—maybe in your own therapy or with brave clients willing to explore.
But without formal training, IFS can feel like a mystery.
• How do I get into the process without it feeling forced?
• What do I do when protectors take over?
• Is this even “real” IFS?
• Am I qualified to use it yet?
This retreat is for therapists like you:
🔹 Curious, compassionate, and ready to learn the real tools
🔹 Wanting structure, not just intuition
🔹 Eager to help clients go deeper—without feeling lost or out of your depth
💡 In Just Three Days, You’ll Learn:
✔ A simple, clear framework for IFS sessions
✔ The 6 essential steps to working with parts
✔ How to speak directly to protectors—without pushing them
✔ What to do when you (or your client) get stuck
✔ A grounded way to bring more Self-energy into your work
And most importantly:
✔ Confidence. Clarity. The feeling that you know what you’re doing—and it’s working.
🌀 What Makes This Training Different
This is not a dense theory weekend or lecture marathon.
This is a retreat-style, small-group experience that prioritizes:
• Hands-on practice (with support and no pressure)
• Live demos and step-by-step breakdowns
• Real conversations about real clients
• A peaceful, professional setting designed to help you drop in, focus, and grow

Meet your trainers
Hi, I’m Barb Lucas, a Level 3 Certified IFS Therapist and Clinical Consultant with over a decade of experience working in the Internal Family Systems model.
I’ve been immersed in IFS since 2014, trained directly by Dr. Richard Schwartz (IFS founder), and spent two years in his private consultation group. I’ve also served on staff for several Level 1 trainings, supporting new therapists in integrating the model with clarity and confidence.
Beyond IFS, I bring a rich background in expressive arts therapy—blending modalities like sandtray, labyrinth work, and creative processes to help therapists access deeper levels of knowing and Self-connection.
This retreat is a culmination of what I’ve found to work best for therapists who want to start using IFS—not just as a technique, but as a steady, practical approach that works in real sessions with real clients.
Whether you’re brand new or “IFS-curious,” you’re welcome here.
Hello, I'm Rebecca Lellek.
I walk meandering fields of inner healing; creating spacious sanctuaries where curiosity and compassion meet the unknown. My journey began in 2007 as I asked the questions of myself, “What parts of me need healing?”
In 2015 I was introduced to The Internal Family Systems and went on to train with The Center for Self Leadership, now know as The IFS Institute. I went on to complete levels 1, 2, and 3, and I have been a Certified Practitioner since 2018.
I’ve served as a Program Assistant for IFS trainings, and have had the honor of receiving consultation with Dr. Richard Schwartz. These experiences have deepened not only my understanding of the model, but my trust in what happens when we truly let the Self lead.
🌿 You’re Ready—Even If You Don’t Feel Ready
You don’t need to know everything about IFS to begin.
You just need the space to learn, the structure to feel supported, and the right environment to grow.
This is that space.
Come as you are—with your questions, your curiosity, and your desire to help people heal more deeply.
Let’s build the clarity, skills, and confidence you need to bring IFS into your sessions—and into your way of being a therapist.
We’d be honored to have you with us.
