Poland – Family Constellations & IFS
Trauma, Healing, and Spirit through IFSCA
“I have known Bob about 10 years and during that time I don’t know of anyone else who has been to more of my workshops as a participant or assistant or has done more work on him or herself. As a result, he knows IFS intimately and deeply and is a strong teacher.
“Also, the book we co-wrote, Many Minds, One Self, wouldn’t exist without his dedication to exploring everything related to IFS.”
Richard Schwartz PhD – Creator of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy
Multiplicity as a doorway to direct contact with spirit,
Porosity of mind as the basis of religion,
The Crisis of Meaning and the work of Viktor Frankl,
Prayer and spiritual practice as inner-sense cultivation, and its relationship to interception.
The discussion will be based on the IFS model with special reference to Self, unattached burdens, and guides. We will also focus on the 12 steps and the concept of higher power. There will be some experiential exercises with suggestions for practical, doable techniques to help make this marriage of spirituality and psychotherapy joyful and fruitful in your life.
Online – 4 Saturdays
May 24 & 31 – June 7 & 14, 2025
Trauma, Spirit & Healing
Through IFSCA
I’ve been wanting to present this work for many years. I’m very excited that I finally feel ready to do it.
Without connection to some spiritual realities, our ability to heal will be limited. Unless our work is based on strong and ongoing psychotherapeutic recovery, spirituality can be ungrounded and even damaging. These two worlds need each other and they have great gifts for each other.
It has taken me a lifetime of study and practice to come to the place where I believe I have things of value to say about how this marriage can occur.
4-part Workshop – 14 hours of Recordings
The Others Within Us
Unattached Burdens & Guides in IFS Therapy
Through LifeArchitect.com
This workshop explores the farther reaches of IFS:
- Unattached burdens
- Guides (These are all Beings who are not Self and not parts.)
The workshop will introduce participants to the spiritual implications of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.
These subjects do not fit in the modern materialist paradigm, and attempts to deal with them are often met with mockery and derision. But they are real, they do occur and they cause human suffering and human joy.
We will start with radical pragmatism. How do we best deal with these phenomena when they occur in clients or in ourselves? What works? What helps? These will be our most basic concerns.
We will also place these phenomena in historical and cross-cultural perspectives, and if there is more time we will hint at some possible theoretical understandings.
My new book about this (released April 2, 2023) “The Others Within Us: Internal Family Systems, Porous Mind, and Spirit Possession.” Available on Amazon and at all good booksellers.

IFS & Psychedelics
A recording of the series of 3 IFS online workshops. By purchasing this series, you get access to the Life Architect platform, which will provide you with links to video recordings of the workshops and other training materials, viewable on desktop or mobile devices.
IFS therapy and psychedelic-assisted therapy are a great fit. It’s because of that Internal Family Systems is one of the main modalities used in MDMA trials done by MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies).
In this recorded workshop series, IFS Teacher, Robert Falconer – co-author of “Many Minds, One Self” with Richard Schwartz – takes you on a journey, during which you will learn how to use IFS to support altered states of consciousness. Robert and his guests – leaders in the field of psychedelic therapy – teach you about the application of IFS therapy during three stages of work with psychedelics – preparation, experience, and integration.
Guest Teachers: Richard Schwartz, Michael Mithoefer & Dr. Robert Grant.
Almost 12 hours of recordings, in 3 separate workshops, available now.
“Bob Falconer is in eminently talented IFS therapist and teacher. I have had the good fortune of co-assisting IFS retreats conducted by Richard Schwartz at the Esalen Institute with him for the past several years.
He brings a wealth of knowledge to his teaching and his mastery is most evident in his deep and nuanced understanding of the clinical applications of IFS to the complex areas of trauma and spirituality. Indeed, my appreciation of IFS is it expanded with every experience with Bob.
“On a personal level, he is an exceptionally real, kind, and humorous individual. Both his teaching and sharing our compelling and moving.”
Barney Jordan, PhD. IFS therapist. Counselor at the University of the Pacific. Previously served on the clinical faculty of Harvard Medical School; taught mindfulness meditation at MIT. Practicing at the interface of spirituality and psychotherapy for more than 30 years.
“Bob has a lot of experience teaching about the combination of IFS and psychedelic medicine so I really can encourage people to explore all this with him.”
