The Embodiment Booster
with Susan McConnell
September 22 & 23, 2026
A new Somatic IFS Offering with Susan McConnell specifically for graduates of her Step 1 and/or Step 2 Somatic IFS Programs....
Embodiment is an ongoing process. Given our culture of disembodiment and current political and societal challenges, the connection with our bodies that we experienced in our Somatic IFS programs most likely could use a reboot.
This offering invites you to reawaken, reclaim, and restore your embodiment. This deeper exploration of some of the practices will enhance your proficiency with Somatic IFS.
The focus of this Embodiment Booster is the two foundational somatic practices--Somatic Awareness and Conscious Breathing. You will return home to your groundedness and spaciousness to restore your core alignment, allowing for an enhanced realization of your Embodied Self energy.
As you experienced in your Step 1, these two practices combine with IFS to enhance your health and aliveness. They also work together to create a foundation to bring Embodied Self energy to your personal and professional relationships.
For those of you have also completed the Step 2, your additional training demonstrated how these two practices are crucial to bringing Embodied Self energy to your clients’ bodymind systems. Considering that your focus in the training was primarily assisting others with their parts and their embodiment, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to personally benefit from this Embodiment Booster.
What to expect from The Embodiment Booster Workshop…..
This is a Rare Opportunity to Work Closely and Live Online with Susan McConnell.
During this online setting, you will receive live teaching with Susan. She will guide you through meditations and experiential exercises. She’ll invite you to connect with the parts of you held within the body. As these parts are expressed, befriended, witnessed, and unburdened, your Embodied Self energy will be more accessible.
Alongside demonstrations, small group sharing with fellow graduates, and time for reflection and integration, you will more deeply anchor the foundational practices of SIFS - Somatic Awareness and Conscious Breathing in your bodymind.

A little about Susan....
Susan McConnell, MA, CIFST, CHT, is the creator and founder of Somatic Internal Family Systems (SIFS) and a Senior Lead Trainer for the IFS Institute. She was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award for her teaching, mentorship of other trainers, and development of curriculum for IFS Training programs. A pioneer in integrating somatic awareness with the evidence-based IFS model, Susan has been teaching Internal Family Systems throughout the United States and internationally since 1997.
She is the author of Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy: Awareness, Breath, Resonance, Movement and Touch in Practice, published by North Atlantic Books, as well as the companion Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy Workbook – Embodied Healing Practices to Transform Trauma. Translated into eight languages, these books have become essential resources for clinicians and practitioners seeking to deepen their Somatic IFS work through embodied, experiential practice.
Somatic IFS represents the culmination of Susan’s five decades of study and practice in bodywork, movement, spiritual traditions, and body psychotherapy. Her approach demonstrates how a deeper embodiment of our internal family—our sub-personalities and our essential Core Self—supports compassionate witnessing of the implicit body stories that arise from individual wounds and collective burdens. Case studies and clinical vignettes throughout her work highlight the profound efficacy of Somatic IFS in addressing a wide range of therapeutic issues.
Susan leads Somatic IFS retreats, workshops and trainings to IFS therapists and practitioners and provides mentorship for the Somatic IFS teaching staff. When she is not teaching, she enjoys time with her family and friends along the shores of Lake Michigan and the Indiana Dunes, where rest, nature, and play nourish her ongoing dedication to healing and embodiment.

Recommended Reading
Susan McConnell is also the author of Somatic Internal Family Systems: Awareness, Breath, Resonance, Movement and Touch in Practice and The Somatic Internal Family Systems Therapy Workbook. The workbook is both a stand-alone book and a companion to her Somatic Internal family Systems Therapy book.
You can purchase these books at https://www.embodiedself.net/book and they are also available on Amazon UK and US or at North Atlantic Books - https://www.northatlanticbooks.com/
It would be really beneficial to revisit her book -Somatic Internal Family Systems: Awareness, Breath, Resonance, Movement and Touch in Practice and particularly the chapters on Somatic Awareness and Conscious Breathing prior to the beginning of the workshop so you can get the very most out of your experience but it is not essential and there is no obligation to do so.

A Final Word....
We’re living in a world that constantly pulls us out of our bodies, so embodiment becomes something we touch… and then lose again.
And the truth is, doing this work once isn’t enough. It’s something we’re asked to return to, again and again. It’s a living practice.
The Embodiment Booster is a chance to reconnect—with yourself, the work, and others you may have met along the way in a Step 1 or Step 2. There’s something powerful about returning together, in a shared space. In many ways, it’s a coming home… a remembering, a returning, a deepening and an expanding of your connection to the Somatic IFS Community.
This is not just another workshop. It is a return to the essence of the work—EMBODIMENT—guided by Susan McConnell, in a format she has not offered before.
