Join us and see what can happen from combining the power of Breathwork with the safety of IFS. The integration of these two modalities is facilitating experiences that have not been available using either one alone. In addition, this workshop will be informative for those interested in the intersection of IFS and psychedelics.
Facilitated by Ted Riskin, LCSW and Amy Borskey Duffer, MA, LCAS.
