SUMMARY:Freedom Through Forgiveness
DESCRIPTION:Forgiveness is a journey toward freedom. Using the Satir approach\, this experiential workshop helps you heal past wounds and reconnect with your inner vitality and life energy.  Join this 3 day program \nFriday’s October 30\, November 6\, 13\, 2026\n2:00 pm to 7:30 pm PACIFIC TIME (Vancouver\, BC Canada)\nOnline Via Zoom\nwith Linda Lucas\, MA\, LCPC\, LPC\nNot forgiving is a kind of soul sickness that saps our energy and keeps us from fully accessing clear Life Energy to fuel our walks in life. It represents a kind of “stuckness” which is fuelled by our anger\, disappointment\, fears\, and pain which block our healing and growth. Our injuries drain our spirit with great costs to our physical\, emotional and spiritual health. They also keep us from being able to be fully present with our clients who struggle with their pain from not forgiving. \nThis online workshop will emphasize the freedom that is yours through full acceptance of where you are in the forgiveness journey and experiencing ways to heal the impacts of your pain that keep preventing you from experiencing full forgiveness of your Self and others. Your transformational healing will enable you to transcend the most hurtful of circumstances. Your freedom will then enable you to re-claim your inner vitality and release any lingering bitterness\, shame\, guilt\, or fears. You will emerge feeling much more fully alive! \nSmall group work will be conducted in breakout rooms. \nWhat you will take away from the online workshop:\n\nA much clearer understanding of all that is required to ultimately forgive from the inside out\, weeding out external expectations which cloud your confidence that this is possible;\nExperientially learning a crystallized 5 Step Forgiveness Model which you will be able to delve into deeply and apply to your own walk in life\, as well as your walk with your clients;\nA new understanding of the depth and nuances within each phase\, and the importance of allowing each phase to breathe\, so that it can be fully addressed without prematurely short circuiting the healing path;\nA step by step process to build and anchor a new inner foundation that can be relied on to guide your continued self-empowerment;\nA new understanding of therapeutic ways to heal the inner world of those who define themselves as the victim\, and/or the abuser;\nA new sense of Freedom within each step of your healing process and how to anchor the same for your clients;\nand Your own workbook which includes all the teaching materials for further reference\n\nCancellation Policy\nFull Payment due with registration.  No refunds after Oct 16\, 2026 . Refunds minus $100 administration fee before Oct 16\, 2026

SUMMARY:2026 IHLRN Conference
DESCRIPTION:Virginia Satir’s pioneering work with individuals and families reflected her deep belief in people’s innate goodness and their potential for growth and change. She was a humanistic visionary whose work sparked decades of teaching\, training\, and transforming people and communities. Through experiential techniques she emphasized the importance of self-esteem\, healthy communication\, and the influence of family systems on individual well-being. Her legacy invites us to embody peace within ourselves\, in our relationships\, and in the systems we touch. \n2026 IHLRN Conference\n“LIVING THE SPIRIT OF SATIR IN A WORLD OF UNCERTAINTY”\nNOVEMBER 15-20\nSpirit In The Desert Retreat Center Carefree (Phoenix)\, Arizona\nIn the stark beauty and quiet wisdom of the desert\, near Phoenix\, we gather to explore what it truly means to live the spirit of Satir.  As the world wrestles with uncertainty and disconnection\, this conference calls us to return to the core of Satir’s vision — creating harmony from the inside out. \nThrough experiential workshops\, shared stories\, and community connection\, we will deepen our understanding of Satir’s principles and explore how they live in us today. Whether you are a long-time practitioner\, newly inspired by Satir\, or interested in exploring this work for the first time\, you will find space to learn\, renew\, and contribute. \nThe Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center in Carefree\, Arizona is a 50-minute ride northeast from Phoenix. \nSpirit In The Desert.org \nREGISTER HERE\nInternational Human Learning Resources Network (IHLRN) is an organization founded in 1969 by Virginia Satir\, a pioneer in the field of family therapy. She wanted to bring together colleagues from around the world who were interested in exploring humanistic approaches. This network evolved into a unique community in which people could share their expertise\, learn from each other\, try out new ideas and be together in a group that was welcoming\, and embraced the uniqueness of each individual. These week long conferences have been held for over 50 years.

I entered into it with few expectations or previous knowledge\, as it was a course I needed to fulfill registration requirements so resigned myself to taking it without really knowing what it was about. I have been consistently delighted and appreciative for the content and how applicable it is in my daily life. It provides such a useful framework for exploration of so many topics and aspects of daily living. I can also see how so many different modalities grew out of this approach – although I have not really seen that acknowledged in the literature. Satir was a thinker ahead of her time and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn more about her work and have had the chance to apply it to my own life.                      L.
