Parts on Paper: A Check-In on Belonging
2025-09-05 09:00 - 2025-09-26 17:00 UTC
Foundations: A Check-In on BelongingA 3-week online IFS journaling journey | September 2025

You think of foundations as fixed. But everything we build on—our roles, identities, relationships—is in motion. This is an invitation to pause, listen, and reconnect with this theme of belonging and your relationship with your sense of rootedness.

What Participants shared from the July course:“I’ve been searching to belong most of my life, but realised I was unconsciously resisting it. Through Ryan’s process, I discovered why – and suddenly could write freely about it. This has been a significant step on my belonging journey.”
“I realised that more often than not people accept me and there are many places I belong. Any feelings of rejection, scorn and hurt are rooted in my sense of shame. People accept me and even like and love me just as I am.”
“I found the Parts on Pages – Belonging & Roots group transformational. Ryan’s guidance along with insights from the other members and the daily writing allowed some previously very rigid parts in me to shift which in turn directly resulted in an increased sense of acceptance and immediate improvement in my close relationships.”

What is this?A 3-week guided journaling and group process to reflect on your sense of belonging and foundation—in yourself, your relationships, your lineage, and the wider world.Whether you’re feeling uprooted, in transition, or simply seeking clarity, this space is for checking in with what you truly rely on—and where you might want to allow more (or less) belonging.

How it works:Three live Zoom sessions (1 per week). These are check-ins and sharing sessions—you share what you feel comfortable to share. These sessions give the sense of supportive container, that we’re all in it together. Many people are surprised to discover how they are not alone in their experiences. We are witnessed in our stories and the witnessing makes it possible to change and grow in the ways we need. Sometimes we’ll explore themes through constellation work.
Journaling prompts every 3–4 days (using IFS-inspired inner listening) and morning pages everyday.
IFS = Internal Family Systems, a gentle approach to exploring your inner world by listening to different “parts” of yourself
We’ll explore:You’ll reflect on five core areas of belonging:Self – How do you relate inwardly? Are there parts of you left out?Close Relationships – How do you experience connection (or disconnection) one-to-one?Family & Community – What is inherited, what is chosen, and how do you stand with both?Ancestry & Culture – What legacies support or shake your sense of place?The World & Spirit – How do you feel in relation to the larger whole?
This is a space to slow down and listen to the deeper movements in your life. Not to fix—but to become more aware of the stories and parts that shape your sense of rootedness.

A Note from RyanI created this offering after a period of deep personal transition. Years ago, I lost a long-standing spiritual community I had helped build. A shift in leadership and energy left me with a difficult choice—stay and compromise something vital, or leave and feel untethered.I chose to leave.That rupture shook my foundations—but it also helped me to see that belonging isn’t static. We move in and out of it. We lose it. We find it again. This course is about meeting those shifts with more awareness and compassion.

Who is this for?Anyone curious about:Inner parts and emotional patternsJournaling as a path of self-reflectionGroup process and deeper inner workCultivating clarity and connection during times of change
No prior experience in IFS needed—just a willingness to reflect.

✍️ Thresholds - A 3-week online IFS journaling journey
2025-10-19 18:00 - 2025-11-10 19:30
Thresholds — A 3-week online IFS journaling journey | October 2025
We all know that pull: the part of us that says “I don’t want to go” and the part that longs to step forward. Thresholds live in that tension — between endings and beginnings, between holding back and stepping into what’s next.
This program is about levelling up and stepping forward in your life — whether in love, lifestyle, career, or physical, mental, and spiritual health.
This program was created with my wife, Leeane, and together we’ll hold the space as a team.For more than a decade, our work has been about gathering people — weaving safe spaces where we become medicine for one another. Rooted in the spirit of Ubuntu, we believe healing happens in connection — we go further together.
Ryan is Level 2 IFS-trained and has worked with the model for four years, integrating it with journaling and group process.

What participants shared from the last course (Belonging & Roots):

“I’ve been searching to belong most of my life, but realised I was unconsciously resisting it. Through Ryan’s process, I discovered why – and suddenly could write freely about it. This has been a significant step on my belonging journey.”

“I realised that more often than not people accept me and there are many places I belong. Any feelings of rejection, scorn and hurt are rooted in my sense of shame. People accept me and even like and love me just as I am.”

“It was a safe place to connect with Ryan and the other members. I really enjoyed the fact that not everyone was on the same page (pun intended) but still everything weaved in organically so that each person could explore, listen, respect, honour, and grow — individually and together.I strongly recommend anyone to experience this amazing space with Ryan.” — Sajeda

What is this?
A 3-week guided journaling and group process to explore thresholds — in yourself, your relationships, your work, your lineage, and the wider world.
Whether you’re standing at a small everyday threshold or a major life transition, this space is for checking in with what holds you back, what calls you forward, and how you want to cross with more awareness.

Anyone curious about inner parts and emotional patterns
Journaling as a path of self-reflection
Group process and deeper inner work

No prior experience in IFS or constellations needed — just a willingness to reflect.

How it works
Three live Zoom sessions (1 per week). These are check-ins and sharing circles — you share what you feel comfortable with. The group creates a supportive container, reminding us we are not alone.

Journaling prompts every 3–4 days (IFS-inspired inner listening) + encouragement to keep a daily practice of morning pages.

Can’t make the weekly group calls? Don’t worry — I’ll be recording short video summaries each week, and you’re welcome to check in with me independently. You’ll still receive the journaling prompts and be able to move through the process at your own pace.

We’ll explore
Week 1: Holding Back — listening to what resists and what needs to be honoured.
Week 2: Pushing Forward — meeting the parts that strive or rush ahead.
Week 3: Breaking Through — integrating the wisdom gathered, and stepping into what’s next with clarity and intention.

🌿 About the Facilitators
Ryan and Leeane have been working together in the fields of psychology, healing, and group facilitation for over a decade.
Ryan (MA Psychology, Wits) draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS), the Enneagram, and Family Constellations to help people meet themselves with awareness and compassion. His work blends psychology, journaling, and group process to create spaces for genuine reflection and growth.
Leeane brings over twenty years of experience in health and wellness—integrating counselling, bodywork, herbal medicine, and Family Constellations. Her approach is intuitive and heart-centred, rooted in the understanding that healing happens in community. A Sun Dancer and sweat lodge holder for over two decades, Leeane carries a deep connection to ceremony and the Earth. The sweat lodge, she says, represents a womb space—a place to return, listen, and meet the parts of ourselves we’ve kept in the dark.
Together, they create safe, embodied spaces where people can be medicine for one another. Guided by the spirit of Ubuntu, they believe we go further together.

Sankofa Journey 2025
2025-12-10 18:00 - 2025-12-22 18:00
🌿 Sankofa Journey 2025
Looking back, to move forward.
🗓️ 10th – 22nd December
Online journaling journey with 3 connection circles on Zoom

✨ Why look back to move forward?
Because what we don’t digest, we carry.
Sankofa reminds us to go back and fetch what we forgot —
the wisdom, the ache, the gratitude — so we can step into the new year lighter and more whole.
When we come together in a circle to write, reflect, and witness each other, something alchemical happens.
Stories soften. Insights surface.
The past begins to loosen its hold, and we can receive it as strength.
This is the magic of Sankofa — retrieving what was left behind,
so we can walk forward with more truth, clarity, and grace.

🪶 The Practice
Over 14 days, you’ll be guided through a reflective writing process inspired by
The Artist’s Way (Julia Cameron).
Each day you’ll write three pages — free, unfiltered, alive.
From those pages, you’ll distill a paragraph, then a single sentence — your guiding thread for 2026.
We’ll meet for three live Zoom circles to share, connect, and deepen the process together:
🕖 10th, 17th & 22nd December
9 am Pacific time/ 6 pm South African time ( 75 min sessions)
(Approx. 75 minutes each)
This practice is a sacred pause — a way to reflect, digest, and retrieve the hidden wisdom of the year gone by.
When we gather, a quiet magic happens — we help each other to remember through our stories and experiences.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan’s journaling groups. I’ve participated twice, and it’s an experience that is both enriching and deeply fulfilling.” Ioana

🌍 Meaning of Sankofa
Sankofa is a Ghanaian word and Adinkra symbol of a bird flying forward while looking back.
It means “to go back and fetch it.”
It invites us to reclaim what was lost or forgotten — the experiences, lessons, and inner truths that allow us
to step into the future with greater wholeness and self-awareness.

🕊 Sankofa 2025
Reflection • Writing • Connection
Together we remember, and carry the wisdom forward.

Parts on Paper Journalling Circle: The Embodied Dreamer
2026-01-21 19:00 - 2026-01-28 19:00
Dates: 21–28 January 2026Format: Two 60-minute online connection circles (opening and closing), plus daily prompts for 7 days
An Invitation
Step into a week-long journey to meet the Dreamer in you. Over 7 days, you’ll receive a daily prompt and one page to write, draw, or both — a gentle, no-pressure space to explore your imagination, curiosity, and inner life.
The prompts invite you to meet the parts of yourself that are afraid to dream, step into the future you imagine, and notice your life with fresh eyes. You’ll reflect on what matters most, what your soul longs for, and what moves you closer to — or further from — living in that direction.
In any given moment, it’s easy to get caught up in doing what feels urgent rather than what truly nourishes the Dreamer inside. This circle is about identifying the small practices, habits, or moments that help you move toward your dreams. For me, ice bathing a few times a week, journaling, play, swimming, and other daily rituals keep the Dreamer alive. One of my bigger dreams this year is a vibrant vegetable garden, and eating more from it.
This is about simple, embodied dreaming — not grand-scale or unrealistic visions, but what is achievable for the Dreamer in you: a stretch, but not beyond your capacity. We’ll also explore the dreams that scare us, the ones we long for deeply, that we may feel too afraid to pursue.
We’ll open and close the week with 60-minute connection sessions, holding space for reflection, sharing, and collective inspiration.
Circle Times: 21 and 28 January @ 7–8 PM SA time / 9–10 AM Pacific
Contribution
This circle runs on a donation basis, suggested $25–$50, so that everyone can participate according to their means.
If this speaks to you, you are warmly invited to join.

Befriending Your Inner Critic
2026-07-22 18:00 - 19:30
A Three-Part Online Journalling Journey
22 July – 5 August 2026
Three 75-minute online circles with guided journalling prompts and reflections between sessions.
An Invitation
Most of us know the voice of the Inner Critic.
It tells us to work harder, get it right, stay in control, fit in, or never make mistakes.
Over time these voices become so familiar that we mistake them for the truth.
But what if they aren’t the truth?
What becomes possible when those voices are no longer running the meeting?
Inspired by Freedom from Your Inner Critic by Jay Earley and Bonnie Weiss, this journey explores what I like to call the Council of Critics—an inner committee of protective parts, each convinced its strategy is the best way to keep us safe.
Together we’ll get to know seven familiar critics:
• The Perfectionist• The Driver (Taskmaster)• The Inner Controller• The Underminer• The Destroyer• The Guilt Tripper• The Chameleon
Rather than trying to silence these voices, we’ll become curious about them.
Because every critic has a job.
Every critic is trying to protect you.
And every critic has a story.

Why Journalling?
Writing creates space.
Instead of becoming caught inside these voices, we begin listening to them with curiosity.
Between our online circles you’ll receive gentle prompts that take just 5–10 minutes a day, helping you notice your inner patterns and build a different relationship with them.

Together we’ll explore questions like…

Which critic has been running the meeting this week?
What is it trying to protect?
When did it first begin its job?
What happens when you respond with curiosity instead of judgement?

The intention for the group is simple. It’s about becoming a little more compassionate towards ourselves, softening the harsh voices inside, and seeing what changes. I like to think of these journeys as experiments. What happens when we stop believing everything our inner critic tells us?

By the End of the Journey
You’ll leave with:
🌿 A map of your own Council of Critics
🌿 A simple journalling practice to continue
🌿 Greater awareness of the protective patterns behind self-criticism
🌿 A more compassionate relationship with yourself
