Inner Critic Workshop

This workshop pairs contemplative practice with two therapeutic modalities — Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Voice Dialogue — that treat the inner critic as a distinct part of the self to understand rather than suppress. If you sit regularly and notice harsh self-judgment or perfectionism blocking your practice, this format offers a structured way to meet those patterns directly.

The day mixes silent and guided meditation with group work, though the center has not yet published the schedule or details about what to bring. Contact Great Vow Zen Monastery for specifics on timing, structure, and whether prior experience with either IFS or Voice Dialogue is expected.
