Courageous Communication: Staying The Course During Difficult Conversations With Toni Herbine Blank,
May 11 & 12, 2026 - Fully Booked
Courageous Communication allows us to stay the course during difficult conversations so we can build bridges with people and not build isolated islands to protect ourselves.
Difficult conversations are often shaped by fear—fear of conflict, misunderstanding, rejection, or causing harm. When these fears arise, our nervous system and protective parts can take over, making it hard to listen openly, speak clearly, or stay connected to ourselves and others.

Client reviews

Getting to the Heart of the Matter - An Intimate Couples Retreat with Toni Herbine-Blank in Costa Rica – December/January 2026.
“My partner and I truly loved Toni’s retreat! It was a beautiful, warm, and open hearted way to work together on our relationship, with other wonderful couples, and a great staff! Ciara gives attention to every important detail, so we felt very taken care of throughout. And as an IFS/IFIO therapist, I really appreciated the opportunity for my partner to experience his first real immersion into IFS/IFIO, that felt for him, warm, safe and welcoming.” Thank you again!
Jill, Boston, USA.

Somatic IFS Retreat with Susan McConnell, Costa Rica, 2026. Week 2 - Step 1 Program. February 2026.
“I adore Susan and her teaching, and I feel deeply blessed to get to learn from her especially knowing that her work is winding down or transitioning soon. What an incredible gift to learn from Susan's facilitation, humility, openness to learning and adapting, sense of wonder! And it's really beautiful to see Susan and Beth lead together. Very touching. Please consider offering a somatic IFS retreat for couples”!

The Spiritual and Energetic Lens of IFS - A 6 Day Retreat with Kay Gardner in Portugal. March, 2026.
“The Souliology retreat was a big eye opener for me. I have worked in the field for long and even now taking a turn into another direction, this was still very interesting and I learned a lot. Ciara is very on top of things and makes sure you feel safe & comfortable. Thank you for this great week of self-education!”-

From Emptiness to Embodiment: An IFS-Based Approach to Healing Neglect - A 4-Day Online workshop with Jenny Fiebig, LPC – June, 2026.
I learned so much from Jenny's Neglect workshop, both in terms of the IFS shifts needed to work with clients who have experienced neglect, and my use of self as the therapist working with these clients. Jenny has a welcoming and warm presence that helped to create a very safe container for my learning.
Marta, Canada.
