“When we seek for connection, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other.”
— Margaret J. Wheatley

What Is the Third Place IFS Group?
Named after the sociological term, "third places" are community settings apart from home and work—where people choose to gather and connect.
Step into a brave, nurturing space where deep inner work, authentic connection, and collective healing unfold.
Drawing inspiration from Senior Lead IFS Trainer Chris Burris’s Creating Healing Circles and Jay Earley’s IFS Social Process Groups, Susan brings their own background in community organizing to create a space that is both grounded in IFS principles and infused with a passion for collaborative healing.
