The focus for this practice session will be:
The Influence of Parts
In this session, you'll explore how parts influence your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, impulses, and actions. By noticing this influence - even without naming specific parts - you begin to unblend and create space for curiosity.
You’ll read a short story from two perspectives: Everette’s and Dominic’s. After imagining yourself in each role, you’ll reflect on when your parts might have become activated and how they influenced your experience.
This exercise may activate parts, and that’s intentional. IFS isn’t about avoiding activation - it’s about using these moments to build awareness and begin forming relationships with parts.
We’ll close by releasing any lingering energy and re-centering.
This practice is a first step toward noticing part influence and responding with greater Self-energy.
Why a Women-Only Parts Work Practice Group?
This practice group is offered as a women-only space to support safety, regulation, and greater ease in parts work.
Certain environments naturally help the nervous system settle. For many women, a women-only setting allows the system to soften, and the inner world to come forward with less effort. This creates more space to notice what’s present and relate to parts from a more grounded, Self-led place.
The intention is simple: to offer a space with added safety, where women can arrive, settle, and practice relating inwardly with less strain and more ease.
What Will Be Different About This Group?
This group is an affinity-based extension of the original Parts Work Practice (PWP) community.
It follows the same guidelines, framework, and practice principles established by PWP and uses the same Parts Work Practice guidebook exercises. The intention, structure, and spirit of the practice remain consistent with the founding PWP groups.
What’s different is the container. This group is:
Women-only
Hosted and facilitated by Peggy Popielarz
Held on a separate day and time
The group offers women a dedicated practice space within the broader PWP ecosystem, fully aligned with PWP’s approach, values, and boundaries.
This offering is ideal for women who value the PWP framework and are looking for a consistent, women-centered practice space facilitated within that structure.
Important Details:
Beginning February 8th, 2026, the Parts Work Practice Women’s Group meets from 7:00 to 8:15 PM PST on the 2nd and 4th Sundays each month via Zoom Video Conferencing.
The main room will be opened at 2 minutes before the hour so we can start the meditation on the hour.
The meeting will be locked by 7:10 PM (Pacific) so plan to join before that time. Those who lose internet connection after this time may not be able to rejoin. So be sure you have a strong internet connection so we don’t lose you.
Parts Work Practice sessions are never recorded.
No AI bots or AI recording please. Keep this space safe and confidential.
We introduce women to a self-healing journey using The Internal Family Systems model (IFS).
This is not a therapy group, nor is it a 12-Step group. Parts Work Practice is not sponsored or endorsed by the IFS Institute and is not intended to replace IFS training. In this no-cost practice group, we discuss and facilitate the practice of exercises we have created to help you practice connecting with and getting to know your parts.
What you can expect
We meet for 75 minutes via Zoom video conferencing.
One of the Co-leaders or Practice Assistants will guide us in a Parts Check-in meditation.
After a few announcements, IFS-trained volunteers will facilitate interactive exercises in breakout rooms. During the last 15 minutes, we will gather again in the main room so you can share insights and ask questions.
Here is the Zoom invitation for our meeting.
