Heidi was a total newbie at her first art class at age 49 (that’s over 10 years ago!). She knew NOTHING and had no supplies. She had a transformative experience and so much fun learning you can’t make mistakes while playing with art stuff.

Jenn and Heidi crafted Arts & Parts to be for anyone, beginner to advanced, as a safe place to explore some of your creative parts while learning how to greet your inner critic or fear parts with loving kindness.

At Arts & Parts we start each day with mini-meditation, and hold a safe space for all parts of you. At our playshop we have had folks who are grieving and found great refuge for the part of them that needed/wanted support. We have had folks who dove in with their own supplies, others who came with nothing (like Heidi did). We have loads of paint. collage papers, and other art tools and toys you can use and enjoy.

For folks who are therapists or coaches, entrepreneurs, teachers or health care providers of any kind, the value of cultivating your own creative parts in your work practice is manifold:

1. Enhanced empathy: When you tap into their own creative parts, you gain a deeper understanding of the creative process. This allows you to empathize with your clients/team/students/patients’ own creative struggles and challenges, fostering a stronger emotional/therapeutic alliance.

2. Expanded emotional well-being tools: By cultivating your creative parts, you can integrate various well-being tools into your work.

3. Fresh perspectives: Engaging with your creative parts enables you to approach your work with fresh perspectives and innovative ideas. This can lead to novel interventions and approaches that are tailored to your clients/team/students/patients’ unique needs.

4. Personal growth and self-care: Exploring your creative parts helps you nurture your own personal growth and self-care. It allows you to reconnect with your own passions and interests, promoting overall well-being and fulfillment.

Cultivating your own creative parts using IFS tools brings value to your life!

Arts & Parts is a unique IFS-based playshop open to ANYONE!

She has also taught EFT Tapping workshops, and has completed Level 2 IFS training. Heidi specializes in healing trauma, for individuals and couples.

Jennifer Sigman, LMFT is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 + years in the field and a private counseling practice in Maitland Florida.

Both Heidi and Jennifer trained with IFS founder Dick Schwartz in Feb 2023. We both felt it was LIFE-CHANGING, creatively inspiring (this is when we hatched this playshop idea!), and we want others to experience IFS-based practices to tune to Self.

We’ve gotten rave reviews and repeat participants. Here’s some testimonials:

Debbie said: “It was a beautiful experience! You lovely women (Heidi and Jen) were amazing facilitators. I think you made the art-making process accessible and provided a helpful amount of walk-about checking in as we created. Your thoughtfulness and generosity were such a gift -- everywhere you looked there was beauty and elements of delight. Every exercise and practice felt aligned with the whole. You assembled a remarkable group of women, and treated each of us with such dignity and care. I loved being part of this playshop. Truly. It was so good for my soul.”

Jenny says “I loved every bit of it. Heidi and Jenn really created a beautiful and supportive space where we could gather, share and create. Because I'd already been doing some parts work and was 'getting to know' some of my parts (fear, trust/faith, etc) I had some clear ideas of where I wanted to go with my canvas. Please know: I am NEW to paint and I loved using it.!”

Leila said:”I really liked each part of the workshop. It was fun to explore the McRae studio space , the mediations were a good way to prepare for artwork, I love learning about IFS and appreciate how you continued to use parts language throughout, the demos were really helpful, and I truly loved the art portion of the workshop (my favorite part!)”

Susan shared what she loved: “All of it really, strong flow and connection through all planned activities”
