Befriending Yourself – An Introduction to Parts Work (IFS)
What if you could meet your inner world with curiosity and compassion instead of shame or judgment? What if, instead of silencing your inner voices, you could listen to them—and discover they have something meaningful to say? What if the parts of you that seem to sabotage or hold you back are actually trying to protect you?
In this 1-hour experiential workshop, you’ll be introduced to Internal Family Systems (IFS)—a powerful, evidence-based therapeutic model that helps us understand the different parts within us and how they interact.
In this workshop, you'll begin to explore your internal system, connect with one or more of your parts, and gain insight into their roles and needs. Expect a cozy, intimate group setting with guided meditation, journaling and (optional) sharing.
Come as you are—no prior experience necessary.
Curious about IFS? This 2-minute animated video offers a short glimpse into the model.
A personal note from Nadine (host):
Internal Family Systems (IFS) has been one of the greatest gifts in my personal healing journey, and it's also one of the core modalities I use with my clients. What I love most about IFS is its non-pathologizing approach—nothing within us is seen as bad or broken. Instead, IFS views each person as a system of protective and wounded inner parts, all guided by a compassionate and capable core Self.
This approach emphasizes that you are the primary healer of your own system, which is both empowering and transformative. Personally, IFS has helped me turn shame and trauma into empowerment and leadership—and continues to do so every day. I would be honored to introduce you to this model, and I hope it resonates with you as deeply as it has with me.

'Praxis Köpi'
Köpenicker Straße 175, 10997 Berlin
You’ll find the studio in the second backyard. (all the way in the back!) Take the outdoor metal stairs up to the blue front door of the building. The studio is located on the 5th floor. Unfortunately there is no elevator, so you’ll have to be able to walk up and down the stairs.
A safe(r) space:
Authenticity and Self-agency are the pillars of this space.
Everything I offer is optional and the practice will be gently guided, suitable for beginners as well as for more advanced practitioners who wish to practice regularly. I am trauma-sensitive and will always have an assistant to serve as extra support in the space. There will be no extreme loud sounds or bright lights and there are always opportunities to withdraw, either in the ‘chill out corner’ (including my favorite stuffed animal) or outside of the practice room.
Diversity & Values
Everyone is wholeheartedly embraced as they are! We value diversity and learning from each other. We are committed to recognizing and addressing biases, such as racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia. Please note that this is a queer space.
If you have any specific needs, questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can contact me via Telegram.
About your host
Hi, I’m Nadine (they/them).
I’m a Berlin-based Integrative Coach and Facilitator, deeply passionate about helping people de-pathologize their inner worlds and (re-)connect with their authenticity. My work centers on cultivating radical compassion and curiosity, guiding individuals out of survival mode and into spaces of genuine connection and growth. I like to think of my workshops as ‘adult playgrounds’—places where we can practice authenticity and healing in a safe, experimental space before stepping into the challenges of the ‘real world.
As a neurodivergent and highly sensitive person who has faced PTSD, domestic abuse, and addiction, I’ve experienced firsthand the power of breaking taboos and transforming shame into strength. I blend vulnerability, humor, and a playful approach to tackle difficult topics, creating a safe, supportive space for deep emotional engagement and transformative growth.
