Mindfulness Toronto Presents Free Workshop: Being Unblended; Effortless Mindfulness Meets Internal Family Systems Saturday Sept 27 10-11 AM
Being Unblended: Effortless Mindfulness Meets Internal Family Systems with Dr. Kimberly Sogge C.Psych
What if healing didn’t require efforting your way to peace, but instead relaxing into the Self that’s already here? In this experiential talk, clinical psychologist and mindfulness teacher Dr. Kimberly Sogge will explore the intersection of Loch Kelly’s Effortless Mindfulness and Richard Schwartz’s Internal Family Systems (IFS)—two elegant, compassionate approaches to awakening and psychological healing.
Together, we will:
- Explore how the IFS model of “Self” aligns with the open-hearted awareness of effortless mindfulness
- Practice gentle “glimpse” meditations that unhook us from the thinking mind into a spacious, loving presence.
- Learn how to unblend from reactive parts without suppressing or bypassing them
- Discover how Self-led presence can become a trustworthy inner refuge in daily life and in therapeutic work
Whether you’re a clinician, a meditator, or simply someone seeking a kinder relationship with yourself, this session will offer tools for integrating nondual awareness and parts work into your mindfulness journey.
