If you’re reading this, you’re probably familiar with just how powerful Internal Family Systems Therapy work can be. It’s true; IFS is all the rage these days for good reason.
It works.
In fact, IFS is probably the most powerful, efficient, and practical healing modality out there.
Until now, the only way to access quality IFS was through an officially trained IFS therapist. And the only way to get IFS training was through the IFS Institute. The problem with being ‘all the rage’: having to add your name to 7,000 others on a waitlist.

The problem with the traditional IFS therapy (or therapy training) route is the implicit promise that once we learn the classic IFS method, we’ll be able to do it on our own. But we can’t. In fact, the more you know about IFS, the harder it is to do it on yourself.
The Soul-Led Mastermind changes all of that.
I’ve developed the first Self-Directed IFS program to empower you to initiate your own self healing – a process you can repeat and deepen into for the rest of your life.
No waiting in line. No golden ticket required.

MY SPECIALIZED SOLO IFS SKILLSET CAN BE YOURS
Lifetime access to your inner authority.
Lifetime access to your inner authority.
“It’s mind blowing how something so simple can be so profound. There are really no words to describe it – I’ve tried other therapies, and although they can be helpful, it’s unlike this one.”
-Jaycel Z., school counselor & 2022 Mastermind Participant
When you learn to do IFS on your own, something transformative happens:
- You become your own authority by embracing your own inner healer.
- You deepen your self-trust and meet your life from an ever more integrated sense of Self.
- You gain access to a powerful tool to implement anytime you’re triggered or off-center.
Best of all, Self-Directed IFS is learnable, accessible and repeatable.
I’ve unlocked the process to make IFS accessible to anyone authentically seeking healing.
I’m the only one teaching it – and it works.
How can I be so sure? First of all, because I know my stuff.
I’m one of the most experienced IFS therapists in the world. I have over 10 years of clinical experience with IFS. I’ve trained with the official IFS Institute as a Level 3 Certified IFS therapist – and directly with IFS founder Richard C. Schwartz.
I know other existing IFS programs don’t work on yourself, because I’ve tried them.
Using my experience and expertise, I’ve identified precisely why just translating the traditional IFS process into a solo practice doesn’t work.
The process needs a proper container – an external holding that supports effective parts work.
Without the specific guardrails, skills and rituals I’ve developed in this method – Self-Directed IFS is impossible.
Here’s what I want you to know about IFS:
It really is the most powerful standalone healing and self-development tool available to us
It helps us decode the complexities of our inner world.
It’s a shamanic tool (while the structure and form are different, the process of entering non-ordinary reality is an ancient human practice)
The key to unlocking this potent process is learning to respect and integrate it into your life

you’re in exactly the right place.
“I’ve tried a lot of different types of IFS and they were all fine. But I was seeking something that could imbue more of my own flavor into the process, that wouldn’t feel like as much work, and that might harness more of my creative or artistic self. I was surprised at the ease with which that happened – even from the very first session.”
-Nils R., therapist & 2022 Mastermind Participant
This is about getting lifetime access to your own inner authority.
This program is revolutionary, one-of-a-kind, and super potent.
It’s also not for everyone.
This program may be a good fit for you if you’re:
- A deep seeker, eager to walk in the depths of your psyche
- OK with being in the unknown
- Grounded in at least one sphere of adult life (work, family or home)
- Not experiencing actively life-disrupting PTSD or other trauma
- Desiring to learn this skill for yourself to empower your own healing
- A bit of a rebel, done with outsourcing your own authority

“It was so nice that Lucille was just one Voxer message away. So I didn’t have to do it all by myself, and I could follow my own path. It was not like a group thing. I could really follow my own path and then she was very nearby.”

“I’m very glad that I did it. I jumped in. I can be an impulsive buyer and when I saw Lucille’s program, it was like, oh yeah, I wanna do that…and it was really an incredible journey in peeling layers back and getting to know myself more.”
-LaDonna, therapist & 2022 Mastermind Participant
Hi, I’m Lucille Aaron-Wayne, MA
Here’s something to know about me: I’m a truth seer. If you’re reading this, you probably are too.
Willing to traverse the depths? Have a hankering for the unknown? Compelled to bring consciousness to whatever’s lurking in the shadows? Yup, yup, yup…we’re kindred spirits.
This is why the Internal Family Systems Therapy model is such an integral part of my life’s work. It’s the most powerful doorway into the truth realms you and I are so oriented toward. And yet, in all my years of research, study, and practice with IFS, I hit a point of frustration when I realized all of it wasn’t really adding up to a sustainably healthier, more joyous life. The revelation? I needed to be able to do IFS directly on myself – and not just in a clinical setting. In daily life. That moement began the years-long process of developing this very special method of Self-Directed IFS.
Let’s talk about why you can trust me. A mental health professional in the Netherlands, I have a master’s degree in creative arts therapies. I’m one of the most experienced IFS therapists in the world, officially trained in 2012 (Level 3 Certified IFS therapist). Currently, I’m a Jungian-analyst-in-training at the renowned Zurich institute. My Self-Directed IFS methodology is also lovingly shaped by the shamanic practices of my grandmother. (IFS is after all, a shamanic practice.) And now I’m here to share it with you. I’m passionate about getting this work into the hands of as many deep seekers as possible.
Before I developed the Self-Directed IFS methodology, I felt I was failing at doing IFS on myself.
I had to put parts work aside (for years!) and go on a quest for integration. It worked.
Now, Self-Directed IFS is my forever tool, available in my back pocket anytime I need to untangle a conflict or re-orient to my wise center.
“I love Lucille. Her presence is just so calming and she radiates knowledge and gentleness. A sincere [sense of] ‘I’m here to help lead you through this.’ And the compassion Lucille shows makes her a great instructor. You can tell she really believes in it. That this is a part of her core and she recognizes the value and wants to share it with you and let you experience it as well.”
-Mastermind participant
Am I Ready to Learn Self-Directed IFS?
How much IFS experience do I need prior to joining?
You don’t need to be trained in IFS or have received IFS therapy yourself. (Some participants will be in therapy—the Mastermind is an ideal complement!) You do need to understand the basic terminology and IFS processes, and recognize these terms: firefighters, managers, exiles, burdens, Self. Reading No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz is a good place to start.
What if I’ve never tried IFS on my own before?
You’re in good company! I will walk you through how to do solo parts work step-by-step, so it’s completely OK if you haven’t done it before. Many of your fellow seekers in this mastermind are enthusiastic about IFS, believe in its power, and have not yet ventured here independently. You won’t be the only one.
I already did the IFS Institute’s training; am I too advanced for this mastermind?
Absolutely not. Almost everything we cover is material I discovered after and outside of the official IFS trainings. The very practice of doing IFS on your own is not taught in the Institute’s training. Much of this work is highly original to me; Dick Schwartz encouraged me to turn this into a book, which will be published in autumn of 2023.
I’m not a therapist. Can I join this program?
Yes! The program is suited for those who have gone on a journey into and through the personal underworld, be you a therapist, healer, or non-professional soul seeker.
“I realized that there is not one way to do IFS and that it’s just really up to the individual to apply it in what works best for them. That is the biggest thing for me. I love that it’s been made accessible through this Mastermind – that you don’t need a therapist to be able to do the [work]. This is the biggest benefit for me and the most exciting thing moving forward.”

“I am less constrained and more confident, less afraid to venture in and experience a lot of emotions that used to be off limits – that I used to naturally block. But with solo IFS I was able to shift to just being braver. I learned to listen without being defensive or analyzing where all the emotions and the experiences come from. I learned to just be there with my parts and achieve healing just by being there.”
-Jaycel Z.
SOUL-LED IFS ISN’T A TRAINING
You will follow the individual course your psyche needs, not a predetermind curriculum

Develop a fulfilling way of doing parts work on your own, which will empower you to tap into the power of IFS any time you need, even if you’re not in therapy.

FAQ:
Frequently
Asked Questions
Getting Clear on Logistics
I’m so ready for this! How do I get started?
Click on the link to apply. When accepted, I’ll invite you to a free 1:1 to answer questions and fully prepare you for the program.
What’s the time commitment for the program?
In general, you can expect to spend 60 to 90 minutes a week on the live portions of the mastermind.
How big is the group?
I’m limiting the group to 12 to ensure intimacy and individualized 1-on-1 attention from me. Spots are already filling before I’ve officially announced the opening of enrollment, so if you’re interested, grab your spot now!
What if I realize this program isn’t for me once I’m inside? Do you offer refunds?
This is an all-in investment. To sign up, select a payment option (one-time or monthly). Your spot is instantly reserved, and a 1000 EUR portion of your committed payment is held as a non-refundable deposit.
Once sessions have begun, there are no refunds.
Here’s why: First, the limited number of participants means your spot can’t be assigned to someone else. Second, we are treading into sacred territory, and doing that safely requires making a solid commitment both to yourself and to your fellow seekers. (You of course can choose whether to show up or not— sometimes life or other things may interrupt—but the seriousness of intention is key for this kind of work.)
I understand this is a big investment and I want to make sure it’s the right fit for you, too! Once you sign up, we will schedule a one-on-one orientation call to help make the connection so I know more about who you are*. If, after our orientation call, you decide not to move forward with the program, you must tell me at the end of the call so I have time to offer your space to someone else. If it’s beyond this time period, or you wait longer than a week to have the orientation call, I will not be able to offer you a refund. Of course you can email me before signing up to ask questions! lucille@seekdeeply.com
Ground Your Expectations
What will I be able to do by the end of this program?
You will have a unique way of sitting down to do parts work on your own, a wealth of experience upon which to draw, and a trust in your own ability to navigate your inner world, plus answers and/or deep exploration of IFS questions which intrigue you, and a group of fellow IFS therapists and enthusiasts with whom you can continue relationships. You will have traveled leagues with IFS that can’t be learned in any IFS training, and without having to wait years to even get into the official institute training!
Is this an IFS training and will it teach me how to do IFS with clients?
No to both. This is a personal IFS exploration, guided by an expert in psyche and parts work. That said, your experience with IFS from the inside will undoubtedly resource any IFS work you do with clients.
Is this program a replacement for therapy?
No, it’s totally different from traditional therapy in that you—not a therapist—will be your own container. Perhaps we can call it self-therapy, as Jay Earley has coined the phrase.
When you connect with me (Lucille) or your co-voyagers, you will be sharing about your IFS process, not about the content of your IFS work. In other words, you’ll talk about the dynamics and relationships between you and your parts (not detailing the parts’ burdens).
Let’s Dive into the Program Details
What kind of individualized support will I get from Lucille?
If you want customized support, you’re in the right place, because the whole mastermind is designed for this. Three weeks a month, you’ll get direct interaction with me via Zoom and Voxer. You’re guaranteed personal, private 1-on-1 guidance from me twice a month during the IFS Voyages. You’ll also get my undivided attention in at least three Deep Dives over the course of the program in your own Seeker Spotlights. On top of that, you’ll be invited to give feedback for each session and request me to follow up privately with you if needed.
In addition, the Bonus Practice Triad Voyages and the online community are student-run, empowering you to navigate solo IFS more and more independently, with the security of customized support from me.
How do I do IFS on myself in a solo session?
There are countless ways to do IFS on yourself. We’ll discuss different modalities, such as art. That said, the format we will all start with is: Sit in a cozy spot with your journal and a ritual object like a candle. (You’ll learn what that is if you don’t already know.) Symbolically open the session (I’ll guide you using a method I created called the OLD Steps) and begin writing a dialogue with your parts. (In our IFS Voyages, when you have questions or want extra support, you can send me a private voice message and I’ll immediately reply.) When you are done, enter a closing phase and invite your parts to make requests outside of the session and say their goodbyes for now (you’ll get my guidance on this). Then, return to ordinary reality by symbolically closing the session (again, I’ll walk you through this).
What are the IFS Voyages with 1:1 Support?
Twice a month, we carve out IFS Voyage time, when you do parts work on your own with me on standby for live, private guidance. Everyone sits down at the same time in their respective homes/locales. At start time, I open our voyage with a greeting and some instructions. (We use the free app Voxer, which lets you hear my voice via your phone or computer without you needing to push any buttons, so it feels like I’m sitting right next to you.) You begin writing to your parts and recording their responses. You send me a private voice message (a “Vox”) whenever you encounter stuck points and get my guidance in real time, and I reply right away, so you gain the skills to deepen your parts work. Near closing time, you get guidance on how to conclude your voyage, and I walk you through returning to ordinary reality. We finish with a brief group check-in. The whole process takes 60 minutes. And it’s incredible! Seekers regularly tell me “I had no idea I could go so deep,” “This blew my mind,” and so on.
What happens in a Deep Dive Mastermind Session?
It’s part coaching session and part advanced seminar, run on Zoom for 90 minutes with Lucille as moderator. We start with a short teaching by Lucille. Then we move into three Seeker Spotlights, usually about topics that arose during an IFS Voyage. After this, the whole group can expand on the topics raised. Over the 9-month program, you’ll have at least three opportunities to be the Seeker in the Spotlight so you can advance your knowledge in exactly the directions you need.
Want to know more? In each Seeker Spotlight, three participants get my undivided attention for 20 minutes to explore their chosen question about IFS and solo parts work. The week before your turn, you thoughtfully fill out a form to refine what you want to explore. I follow up with additional questions if needed so you’re ready to get the most out of your Spotlight.
How does it work with the cohort and the Bonus Practice Triad Voyages?
Your cohort consists of grounded soul seekers who are established in outer life and fascinated with IFS. The beauty of this program is that you can up- or down-pedal how much you interact with the group. I’ve limited the group to 12 soul seekers to ensure intimacy and plenty of personal attention.
The Bonus Practice Triad Voyages occur during the final week of each month and are a time for you to offer and receive support from two other seekers in doing IFS on your own. Each month, you get to choose if you want to be placed in a triad. I provide clear instructions for how to structure the time and interactions so that you feel held while also keeping your psychic material private. There are clear guidelines to prevent seekers from trying to provide IFS to one another (if you want to do that, you can on your own time). Instead, the people holding the space for the person voyaging fill the role of sacred witnesses.
You’ve been searching all your life for the tools and capacity to build a thriving life on your own terms and today,
YOU’RE CLOSER THAN EVER BEFORE
You’re willing to go to the depths because you’re after the Gold: that inner security that comes from knowing you can heal yourself, transform your life, and live a liberated, open-hearted life.
