What you'll gain

Insight

Light Bulb_edited.jpg

We all have different parts inside us—some that push us to achieve, some that avoid, some that protect us from feeling too much. These parts developed for a reason. They helped us stay safe, belong, or get through hard things.

​

But over time, they can keep us stuck—disconnected from others, from our emotions, or from who we really are underneath the survival strategies.

​

Harmony

Build more trust and connection with your true Self- the calm, curious, grounded part of you.

​

Parts work helps you:

  • Understand the roles these parts play

  • Soften the grip of old patterns

  • Build more compassion toward yourself

  • Reconnect with a deeper sense of clarity and calm

Belonging

This work is powerful because it’s not about fixing yourself. It’s about listening inside—making space for all of you—and moving from protection to presence.

​

In a group, the work deepens. Being witnessed with care reminds us we’re not alone—our struggles are human, not just personal. The group becomes a space for reflection, connection, and healing. There’s real power in not doing it alone.

About the Facilitator

Hi I'm Grady

I have been deeply involved in group retreat settings for over 20 years, both as a participant and a facilitator. Throughout this time, I have witnessed the profound power of group work to foster connection, create a sense of belonging, and provide the space for shared healing and growth.

 

Group work has the unique ability to bring people together in community, where they can feel seen, heard, and supported in their journeys.

 

My love for parts work stems from its ability to address core material in a way that is deeply compassionate and non-shaming.

 

This approach allows us to meet ourselves with understanding, to honor every part of who we are, and to move toward greater inclusivity and a profound sense of wholeness. It’s a process that embraces both the vulnerable and the protective aspects of our inner world, helping us build a more cohesive and compassionate relationship with ourselves.

 

As someone who values the power of shared experience, I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and inclusive space where each participant feels empowered to explore their inner landscape. My hope is that this work not only supports individual growth but also deepens our collective understanding of the beauty and complexity of being human.

​

I’m honored to walk alongside you in this journey of self-discovery, healing, and integration.
