Root and Bloom Institute

What happens when our own “parts” enter the room with us?

Join Nancy Morgan, PhD for an experiential introduction to Internal Family Systems (IFS) within psychedelic medicine work; exploring how IFS can support preparation, guidance, and integration, while helping practitioners become more aware of the parts they themselves bring into the work.

Nancy is a licensed psychologist, Certified IFS Therapist, IFS Assistant Trainer, and psychedelic-assisted therapy educator and facilitator.

For established practitioners and those currently in training.

What? Introduction to IFS for Psychedelic Medicine Workers
When? October 3 • 9am–4pm • Root & Bloom Institute, Berkeley

Registration is open!

Join us this Sunday, August 30th, to explore the space and envision your next workshop, training, or practice here. We also still have a few private offices available.

Come meet us and see what’s taking shape!

A reflection we're sitting with this week:

What does it take to move from individual practice into genuine community, and what role can somatic and sacred practice play in that shift?

We'd love to hear what this brings up for you.

We’re honored to welcome Kylea Taylor, M.S., LMFT to Root & Bloom Institute’s Stewardship Circle.
The Stewardship Circle is a group of trusted advisors whose experience and perspective help guide Root & Bloom’s continued development.
Kylea is a licensed therapist, educator, consultant, and the founder of InnerEthics®, a self-reflective approach to relational ethics that has become an important resource in psychedelic practitioner training. Her work encourages practitioners to cultivate self-awareness, compassion, and ethical discernment as the foundation for responsible, relational care.
She is also the author of Peer Consultation Groups & Ethical Awareness Tools for Psychedelic Practitioners, The Ethics of Caring: Finding Right Relationship with Clients, and several books on Holotropic Breathwork®.
We’re grateful to have Kylea’s wisdom and decades of experience helping shape the future of Root & Bloom.

Every corner of Root & Bloom is being shaped with care, including the land itself.

After removing a strip of pavement along much of the 6th street curb, members of a growing RBI community and Joko spent the day planting native plants. Built-in benches are planned for along the exterior wall so students can take breaks outside and enjoy murmurings of nature.

Building a community space isn’t only about a building, its walls, and its roofs. It’s about creating conditions where people can gather and connect.

Sometimes that work looks like meetings and planning. Sometimes it looks like dirt under our fingernails.
