About this Retreat
I co-founded the Innerland Institute, in Vancouver, Canada in 2003 with the strong passion and desire for honest deep communication, the kind of exchange that gives you inner freedom, joy and deep purpose. I’m the co-creator of the IBC (Inquiry-Based Coaching) method combined with my rendition of partwork and heart alchemy. These are powerful self-awareness methodologies that support individuals and organizations to find clarity, empowerment, inner alignment, deep ease and understanding. I’ve led retreats since 2005 in Canada, USA, Mexico and Europe. I live to create containers of deep existential exploration that supports deep updating of our inner system inviting clarity, purpose, love and service.

What's Included?
Together we will learn and practice the methods of IBC (inquiry-based coaching) - the wisdom of Zerospace combined with my rendition of Partswork and my brand new Heart Alchemy practice.
Through a fusion of IBC , Parts Work (inspired by IFS Internal Family Systems) and Heart Alchemy, I offer a transformative framework to breath more freedom, clarity and purpose into your own life, and into the lives of those you serve. This program is designed to provide structure and accountability, facilitating a profound level of personal and professional development while laying supportive foundations for your practice to grow and evolve to best meet the ever-changing needs of those you serve.
These highly refined tools will enable you to delve into the deepest layers of your being, uncovering core inner parts, while softening and transforming the barriers to inner freedom - AND I will teach you how to skillfully weave these modalities this into your current practice. Together, we will co-create a sacred space for exploration, ceremony, and magic, tapping into the profound healing power of community while empowering our individual capacities to be of greater service.
We will learn the art of alchemizing our deepest fears into heart-centered Love, and how to move from this Love into inspired Service in our own unique and Magical ways. We will learn how to best support ourselves and our clients in deconstructing the old patterns, fears and beliefs that no longer serve us in order to expand our internal and external capacity to hold this Love - and to let more of who we truly are shine into the world as a blessing for all life.
We will also share in a guided empathogenic ceremony to support the depth of the process and transformation within the contexts of these new tools.
With IBC (Inquiry-Based Coaching), we will:
Identify obstacles hindering our fullest experience of life.
Explore how we unwittingly validate and perpetuate these limiting perceptions.
Understand the impact of this validation on our lived experience.
Recognize missed opportunities obscured by limiting beliefs.
Experience life beyond these limitations, paving the way for transformative action and entering a state of "Zerospace."
Learn the ins-and-outs of how to best utilize these tools in our current practice and respective paths of service.
Through Parts Work:
We acknowledge ourselves as luminous system made of parts
We examine the assumptions and traumas that have shaped these parts, limiting our self-expression.
With compassionate curiosity, we listen to these parts, witnessing their burdens and experiences.
Through healing, we reintegrate and update these parts, aligning with our true purpose and fostering wholeness in our relationships and systems.
Learn the ins-and-outs of how to best weave this framework into our current practice.
Through Heart Alchemy:
We understand and experience love and authenticity as the highest forms of human vibration.
We use the heart as a crucible for the alchemical transmutation of fear to love, love to service, understanding the constant stages we go through in this process through our lifetime.
We use the metaphor of the Alchemical Process: Dissolution, Coagulation and Crystallization to understand the internal process of turning existential pain into gold. The gold of using challenges to find existential joy through our journey.
Learn the ins-and-outs of how to best support those we serve through the lens of Heart Alchemy
Your Time for Rest and Renewal
As spaceholders and facilitators I know we offer alot - this retreat will also be a time for you to slow down, recharge, replenish, and renew in order to return to your practice feeling inspired, freshly equipped, and ready to serve from a place of deeper resource and abundance. We all know that to best support others we must take exquisite care of ourselves - and this retreat offers and opportunity to unplug from the demands of your life in order to plug into that deeper well of resource, nurturing and inspiration.
