SUMMARY:Sankofa Journey - 2025
DESCRIPTION:Sankofa – 2025 \nSankofa teaches us to look backward in order to move forward. Why is it so vital to reflect on the past? \nThe short answer: we carry the past with us if we don’t properly digest it. \nOur most creative and empowered response to life comes from acknowledging and digesting what lies behind us—the difficulties and despair\, as well as the joys\, connections\, and gratitudes. This process is about giving yourself the time and space to truly listen to what the year has meant for you. \nReflection isn’t just a mental exercise; it’s about connecting with the body too. We hold the past in our physical being\, often without realising it. By observing what we’ve taken from our experiences and the meanings we’ve attached to them\, we find a better relationship with them. We can hold them in a different way. This allows us to transform challenges into resources that strengthen our sense of who we are and what matters most. \nSankofa is a Ghanaian symbol represented as a bird flying forward while looking backward. It means “to go back and fetch it\,” reminding us of the power in reclaiming lessons from the past. It encourages us to honour our history and carry its wisdom forward\, creating a better future rooted in self-awareness and connection to our origins. \nWe all have blind spots—patterns we can’t see in ourselves but easily recognise in others. Imagine if someone close to you sincerely asked\, “What do you think I don’t see in myself?” or “Where do you think I miss the mark?” You’d likely have plenty of answers. This reflection is an invitation to ask those questions inwardly\, to notice the unseen aspects of your own life. \nAmidst turbulent times\, what will next year be for you? Stepping into the future in a meaningful way depends on this reconciling of the past. So that we can say for the hard\, even impossible experience—I Accept. The willingness to keep making peace with what has been is what gives us the fuel and wisdom to make something new from it. \nThe Process in simple terms: \n14 days of writing—three pages a day following Julia Camerons morning pages approach. 42 pages in total. From these pages\, you’ll distill a single paragraph\, then a single sentence. This sentence becomes your guiding companion for 2026. \n3 group sessions/ connection circles on zoom  (11th\, 18th and 22nd December). \nTimes: each session runs for approx. 75 min @ 6 pm SA time (GMT + 2) / 4 pm UK time. \nThis practice is a sacred pause—a moment to reflect\, digest\, and retrieve the egg of wisdom that lies hidden in the corners of the past. As we practice together\, we also help each other to remember. We walk each other home. \nSuggested donation: $50 (feel welcome to contribute according to your means). \nPayPal: ryanklette@gmail.com\nBank transfer: Ryan Klette\, FNB 6201 288 0838\, cheque account. \nAlso\, feel free to email or text me with any questions: +27 82 552 0619.  To book your place\, just pop me a message and I will add you to the group. \n  \nfeedback from recent group: \n…my recent experience of participating in Ryan’s IFS short journaling group was a great place for me to revisit and recommit to my writing practice. As someone who usually shies away from this type of self reflection\, I found this an incredibly supportive experience within a small group ably guided and prompted by Ryan’s observations both in our group zooms and written material to read on Substack. An additional bonus for me was having some Enneagram chat within our sharing – this really helped me pull together my enneagram learnings from decades back and use it to help my current IFS experience. \nHuge appreciation to Ryan and my work group ✨  \nRosie G

SUMMARY:🌱 Foundations: A Check-In on Belonging
DESCRIPTION:🌱 Foundations: A Check-In on Belonging\nA 3-week online IFS journaling journey | Weekly constellations | July 2025 \nYou 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 to what truly holds you. \n\nWhat is this?\nA 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. \nWhether 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. \n\nHow it works\n\n🌀 Three live Zoom sessions (1 per week)\n✍️ Journaling prompts every 3–4 days (using IFS-inspired inner listening)\n🌐 Weekly online group constellations to explore core themes\n\n\nIFS = Internal Family Systems\, a gentle approach to exploring your inner worldConstellations = experiential processes that help uncover hidden patterns in family\, relationships\, or culture \n\n\nWhat we’ll explore\nYou’ll reflect on five core areas of belonging: \n\nSelf – How do you relate inwardly? Are there parts of you left out?\nClose Relationships – How do you experience connection (or disconnection) one-to-one?\nFamily & Community – What is inherited\, what is chosen\, and how do you stand with both?\nAncestry & Culture – What legacies support or shake your sense of place?\nThe World & Spirit – How do you feel in relation to the larger whole?\n\nThis 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. \n\nWhy Foundations? Why Now?\nYou build on foundations. But when life changes—relationships end\, roles shift\, systems collapse—those foundations can tremble. That shaking can bring anxiety or confusion. This process helps you trace the roots of those tremors. \nSometimes it’s enough just to see what’s there.Sometimes something deeper wants to speak.Sometimes\, we can do something to help. \nWe’ll ask: \n\nHow are my foundations\, really?What beliefs\, relationships\, or roles have I been standing on? Are they still true?\nWhere do I feel belonging—and where might I allow more?Where am I seen\, safe\, and part of something real? Where am I holding back?\nWhat have I outgrown?What roles or identities no longer fit? What can I release to make space for what’s next?\n\n\nA Note from Ryan\nI 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. \nI chose to leave. \nThat rupture shook my foundations—but it also showed me this: 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. \n\nWho is this for?\nAnyone curious about: \n\nInner parts and emotional patterns\nJournaling as a path of self-reflection\nGroup process and deeper inner work\nCultivating clarity and connection during times of change\n\nNo prior experience in IFS or constellations needed—just a willingness to reflect. \n\n📅 Dates & Times\nStart Date: Monday\, 30 June 2025Live calls: Mondays\, 6–8 PM SAST (South Africa time)  Im opening an additional group for US time zones. 👉 Click here to convert to your time zone \n2nd Start Date: Saturday 5th for PST time zone @ 8:30 am.  \n\n💬 Booking\nCost: $50 or pay what you can (by donation). \nSpots are limited to keep the group small and intimate.To join\, contact Ryan:📧 ryanklette@gmail.com📱 WhatsApp: +27 82 552 0619 \nParticipant experience: \n…my recent experience of participating in Ryan’s IFS short journaling group was a great place for me to revisit and recommit to my writing practice.

SUMMARY:Parts on Paper: A Check-In on Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Foundations: A Check-In on BelongingA 3-week online IFS journaling journey | September 2025\n\n\n\nYou 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.\n\n\n \n\nWhat 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.”\n“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.”\n“I found the Parts on Pages – Belonging & Roots group transformational.

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.

SUMMARY:✍️ Thresholds - A 3-week online IFS journaling journey
DESCRIPTION:Thresholds — A 3-week online IFS journaling journey | October 2025 \nWe 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. \nThis program is about levelling up and stepping forward in your life — whether in love\, lifestyle\, career\, or physical\, mental\, and spiritual health. \nThis 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. \nRyan is Level 2 IFS-trained and has worked with the model for four years\, integrating it with journaling and group process. \n\n\n✨ At a Glance\n\nProgram: Thresholds — A 3-week IFS Journaling Journey\nDates: October 19 – November 10\, 2025\nLive Calls: Saturdays\, 6:00 PM South Africa / 9:00 AM Pacific Time\nFormat: Online via Zoom (3 live sessions + journaling prompts)\nCost: $50 (sliding scale $30–$70)\nGroup Size: Limited to 8 participants\nRegistration: Click here to register\nContact: 📧 ryanklette@gmail.com |\n📱 WhatsApp\n\n\n\nWhat participants shared from the last course (Belonging & Roots):\n\n\n“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.” \n\n\n“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.” \n\n\n“I found the Parts on Paper – 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.” 🙏 — Nels \n“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 \n\n\n\nWhat is this?\nA 3-week guided journaling and group process to explore thresholds — in yourself\, your relationships\, your work\, your lineage\, and the wider world. \nWhether 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. \n\nWho is this for?\n\nAnyone curious about inner parts and emotional patterns\nJournaling as a path of self-reflection\nGroup process and deeper inner work\nCultivating clarity and connection during times of change\n\nNo prior experience in IFS or constellations needed — just a willingness to reflect. \n\nHow it works\nThree 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. Being witnessed makes it possible to shift and grow in the ways we need. Sometimes we’ll explore themes through constellation-inspired exercises. \nJournaling prompts every 3–4 days (IFS-inspired inner listening) + encouragement to keep a daily practice of morning pages. \nIFS = Internal Family Systems: a gentle way of exploring your inner world by listening to different “parts” of yourself. \nCan’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. \n\nWe’ll explore\nWeek 1: Holding Back — listening to what resists and what needs to be honoured. \nWeek 2: Pushing Forward — meeting the parts that strive or rush ahead. \nWeek 3: Breaking Through — integrating the wisdom gathered\, and stepping into what’s next with clarity and intention. \n\n📅 Dates & Times\nDates: October 19 – November 10\, 2025 \nLive calls: Sundays\, 6:00 PM South Africa / 9:00 AM Pacific Time \n\n💬 Booking\nCost: $50 (sliding scale $30–$70).\nGroup Size: Limited to 8 participants. \nRegistration: Click here to register \nTo join or ask questions\, contact Ryan:\n📧 ryanklette@gmail.com\n📱 +27 82 552 0619 \n\n🌿 About the Facilitators\nRyan and Leeane have been working together in the fields of psychology\, healing\, and group facilitation for over a decade. \nRyan (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. \nLeeane 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. \nTogether\, 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.

SUMMARY:Sankofa Journey 2025
DESCRIPTION:🌿 Sankofa Journey 2025\nLooking back\, to move forward.\n🗓️ 10th – 22nd December\nOnline journaling journey with 3 connection circles on Zoom \n\n✨ Why look back to move forward?\nBecause what we don’t digest\, we carry. \nSankofa reminds us to go back and fetch what we forgot —\nthe wisdom\, the ache\, the gratitude — so we can step into the new year lighter and more whole. \nWhen we come together in a circle to write\, reflect\, and witness each other\, something alchemical happens.\nStories soften. Insights surface.\nThe past begins to loosen its hold\, and we can receive it as strength. \nThis is the magic of Sankofa — retrieving what was left behind\,\nso we can walk forward with more truth\, clarity\, and grace. \n\n🪶 The Practice\nOver 14 days\, you’ll be guided through a reflective writing process inspired by\nThe Artist’s Way (Julia Cameron).\nEach day you’ll write three pages — free\, unfiltered\, alive.\nFrom those pages\, you’ll distill a paragraph\, then a single sentence — your guiding thread for 2026. \nWe’ll meet for three live Zoom circles to share\, connect\, and deepen the process together:\n🕖 10th\, 17th & 22nd December \n9 am Pacific time/ 6 pm South African time ( 75 min sessions)\n(Approx. 75 minutes each) \nThis practice is a sacred pause — a way to reflect\, digest\, and retrieve the hidden wisdom of the year gone by.\nWhen we gather\, a quiet magic happens — we help each other to remember through our stories and experiences. \n“I wholeheartedly recommend Ryan’s journaling groups. I’ve participated twice\, and it’s an experience that is both enriching and deeply fulfilling.” Ioana  \n\n🌸 Contribution\nSuggested donation: $50\n(You’re welcome to contribute according to your means.) \n💳 PayPal: ryanklette@gmail.com\n🏦 Bank transfer: Ryan Klette — FNB 6201 288 0838 (cheque account) \nTo join\, simply message +27 82 552 0619 or email\nryanklette@gmail.com\, and you’ll be added to the group. \n\n🌍 Meaning of Sankofa\nSankofa is a Ghanaian word and Adinkra symbol of a bird flying forward while looking back.\nIt means “to go back and fetch it.” \nIt invites us to reclaim what was lost or forgotten — the experiences\, lessons\, and inner truths that allow us\nto step into the future with greater wholeness and self-awareness. \n\n🕊 Sankofa 2025\nReflection • Writing • Connection\nTogether we remember\, and carry the wisdom forward.

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. \nThe 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. \nIn 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. \nThis 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. \nWe’ll open and close the week with 60-minute connection sessions\, holding space for reflection\, sharing\, and collective inspiration. \nCircle Times: 21 and 28 January @ 7–8 PM SA time / 9–10 AM Pacific \nContribution\nThis circle runs on a donation basis\, suggested $25–$50\, so that everyone can participate according to their means. \nIf this speaks to you\, you are warmly invited to join. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here and we’ll add you to the circle!

SUMMARY:Befriending Your Inner Critic
DESCRIPTION:A Three-Part Online Journalling Journey\n22 July – 5 August 2026 \nThree 75-minute online circles with guided journalling prompts and reflections between sessions. \nAn Invitation\nMost of us know the voice of the Inner Critic. \nIt tells us to work harder\, get it right\, stay in control\, fit in\, or never make mistakes. \nOver time these voices become so familiar that we mistake them for the truth. \nBut what if they aren’t the truth? \nWhat becomes possible when those voices are no longer running the meeting? \nInspired 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. \nTogether we’ll get to know seven familiar critics: \n• The Perfectionist• The Driver (Taskmaster)• The Inner Controller• The Underminer• The Destroyer• The Guilt Tripper• The Chameleon \nRather than trying to silence these voices\, we’ll become curious about them. \nBecause every critic has a job. \nEvery critic is trying to protect you. \nAnd every critic has a story. \n\nWhy Journalling?\nWriting creates space. \nInstead of becoming caught inside these voices\, we begin listening to them with curiosity. \nBetween 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. \n\nTogether we’ll explore questions like…\n\nWhich critic has been running the meeting this week?\nWhat is it trying to protect?\nWhen did it first begin its job?\nWhat happens when you respond with curiosity instead of judgement?\n\nThe 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? \n\nBy the End of the Journey\nYou’ll leave with: \n🌿 A map of your own Council of Critics \n🌿 A simple journalling practice to continue \n🌿 Greater awareness of the protective patterns behind self-criticism \n🌿 A more compassionate relationship with yourself \n\nSession Times\n🇿🇦 South Africa (SAST): 6:00–7:15 PM \n🇪🇺 Central Europe (CEST): 6:00–7:15 PM \n🇺🇸 US Pacific (PDT): 9:00–10:15 AM \nDates\n22 July \n29 July \n5 August \n\nContribution\nSuggested contribution is  US$50–100\, allowing everyone to participate according to their means. \nSuggested South African rate R 700 – R 1000. \nReady to meet your Council of Critics?\nComplete the registration form below\, and I’ll be in touch with everything you need before we begin. \nOnce I receive your registration\, I’ll send you payment details along with everything you’ll need before our first circle. \n→ Register Here
