What We’re Offering

In a eight-month-long community membership program, we’re offering monthly facilitated Practice Groups and a monthly rotation of Case Discussion, Demo/Role play, and Q&A.

Additionally, we’re opening the doors to our Virtual Club Cafe once a month, where you can just show up and meet whoever is there or agree to meet with friends as you would at your local cafe. You can also host a themed or topic table for your fellow members, which you can ‘advertise’ on our platform.
We’re also giving you access to our private social networking platform (like Facebook) designed to keep you connected and informed with the news feed and many other social networking features

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve created the membership making sure to keep your busy schedules in mind. We host 3 meetings a month; A 2 hour Facilitated Practice Group, our Club Café (1.5 hours) to hang out and socialize, and one of our Monthly Rotations (demo/roleplay/FAQ/case consultation) for which we plan 1.5 hours. We happily welcome you to all meetings; there is no obligation to come to every one.
At the moment, we are offering this program at below cost price for our founding members. The current offering of 124.- Swiss Francs per month is the lowest price this membership will ever be. If you become a founding member, this is the price that you will keep for the lifetime of your membership.

No. As long as you can receive and email and click on a link you will be fine. Our first meeting will be on zoom, and we’ll take all the time that you need to talk you through any concerns you may have. We will provide a demo to help you get on our platforms and we will also offer any personal support that you need.

If you are unsure about zoom, just let us know at celeste@ifscommunitycafe.com and we’ll walk you through everything that you will need.

For this membership you need to have at least a Level 1. We soon hope to serve our IFS Informed community as well. We know how frustrating it can be to be excluded from many IFS deepening and learning opportunities. If you wish to be updated about future offerings for IFS informed therapists and practioners please click here.

YES! This program is designed to support therapists and practitioners (newly) trained (IFS Level 1) continue their experiential learning through practitce groups, roleplays as well as consultation and FAQs. We also believe that learning in the context of community provides the safety to explore.
YES! We created this program to support anyone, who, for whatever reasons, feels they need the support of practice and or community to feel confident in doing the work with your own client base. We know what a big investment of time and money doing the Level 1 training was, and we want to help you make the most out of that.

It depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for community where you can grow professionally as well as a place to hangout, this could be right for you. We believe that learning through practicing and role plays has so much value, no matter what level you are. We also see that that our own understanding and experience of the IFS model deepens in many ways. Sometimes in the context of seeing other’s learning edge, we come into connection with our own. In that case, this program could be great for you.
If you believe that your learning and development as a provider of IFS is best served by being groups of similarly experienced people, this program might not be right for you. We want to hear from you though, whether you have specific development needs or wishes (click here) or maybe you have something to offer (click here).

We want to create a community where all people can learn form each other. Sometimes the richness of diversity favors combining all levels. Sometimes, it’s important for our learning to stay closer to those of a similar level. We will be bearing this in mind as we continue to develop our program. In the directory on our platform, you’ll be able to see you peer’s level of training.
We want to know what is and isn’t working for you and will be doing everything that we can to make your experience with us be as supportive of your needs as it can be. If this means switching groups, we will certainly be open to exploring that with you.

Though IFS Community Cafe is not like the Stepping Stones Program in teaching the model to people still unable to get into official IFSI trainings, we do offer a pathway for enrichment to those with a minimum IFSI Level 1 training. We are looking to develop a similar offering for those not yet officially trained by the IFS Institute. click here

YES! We believe that there is great value in learning from the diversity that comes with intermingling people with all kinds of backgrounds. Our only requirement (for now) is that you have completed the IFS Level 1 training.

At the moment we’re not offering officially recognized CEUs, but we are working towards making this possible. We will certainly be notifying our community when this is the case.

Fluency is not an obligation. However our meetings are hosted in English, so it’s useful to have at least a good understanding English.
We welcome people from all over the world and believe the cultural diversity enrichens all of our experiences. We do our best to accommodate as many different time zones as possible. If you feel your time zone isn’t working with our offering, let us know. We’re always looking to create new opportunities to everyone.
There certainly will be opportunities on our membership platform to promote your own workshops. Learning from each other and sharing your offerings is an important part of that.
We are not affiliated with the IFS Institute. Raphaela is a Certified IFS Therapist (Level 3 trained) as well as an IFS Approved Clinical Consultant. This makes her offerings eligible for IFSI CEUs. We will be exploring how best to apply for IFS! CEUs.
Though no one model is always for everybody, in this program our aim is to support your learning and growth in using the IFS model. We will thus be exclusively focussing on IFS in our offerings. Outside of our more didactic and practice offerings, there is certainly space to share your thoughts and experiences with other therapeutic models within the community and on our membership platform.
Attendance will not be taken. For offerings potentially eligible for IFSI CEUs, we will need to keep appropriate records. We will communicate this clearly when that applies to you.
Some meetings are recorded, some are not. Practice groups and Club Café are never recorded. The rotation meetings will be recorded with permission and stored securely on our platform where members can access them at any time during their running membership.
No. As a matter of privacy for all our members, we cannot allow members to record meetings. Meetings besides the practice groups or Club Café will be recorded and stored on our secure platform where members will have access to the recordings.
As a matter privacy for all our members, we do not allow members to record meetings.
Yes! We encourage you to forge connections that will be supportive of you in your IFS journey.
