Zen Stories & Koans Meet IFS Parts Work

Zen stories and koans don’t explain. They crack. Disrupt. Dismantle the story you think is “you.”  Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers something just as radical: an invitation to sit beside your parts without solving them. To witness the protector.
To bow to the one who’s afraid. Here, we pair ancient Zen parables with modern parts work. Not to interpret them but to let them land in you. To feel the koan from the inside out. 

You’ll notice we don’t “explain” the stories. We ask questions. We help you notice how your system responds. That’s all.
That’s the blend.  Zen says: "Don’t understand, become it." IFS says: "Don’t fix the part be with it." Together, they become a sacred practice of presence.
