An embodied journey into IFS and Parts Work with David Kitchings

Deepen into your Self. Expand your understanding. Unlock a new potency in your coaching.

As a graduate of Symphony of Self, you know the power of Parts Work firsthand.

You’ve seen what can happen when a Part is acknowledged, listened to, and cared for.

You’ve felt the inner stillness, clarity, and compassion that arise when you’re deeply connected to Self Energy.

And you’ve built the foundation — learning the hidden architecture of the human mind, the language of Parts, and the pathways that lead us home to Self.

These are the essential beginnings of this groundbreaking work.

Now, you’re ready for the next steps towards Mastery…

At its heart, Parts Work is a deeply experiential and relational process. The more you learn to embody it, the more effective you’ll be.

And embodiment doesn’t happen through information alone.

It happens through practice, presence, and real-time interaction with your own system and the systems of others.

That’s why Symphony of Self: A Deepening takes a fundamentally different approach than a traditional training.

A Living, Co-Created Journey

This program is specifically designed to be responsive. To be a living, breathing journey — shaped by the people inside it.

Your questions, your edges, and the real situations you’re working with become part of the teaching itself.

In fact, the final module is entirely crafted by participants.

You’ll have the opportunity to bring your case studies, client challenges, moments of stuckness, and questions about your own inner work

This is learning that grows around you — responsive, emergent, and tailored to where you are right now in your evolution as a coach.

Across nine months, Symphony of Self: A Deepening will support you to:

  • Deepen your connection with Self Energy, Integrity, and Purpose — the primary sources of transformation
  • Integrate and embody the principles of Parts Work so you can unlock your next evolution as a coach, and more effectively serve your clients
  • Discover a meta-framework that illuminates the systemic interplay of Parts — personal, professional, cultural, and biological — revealing patterns, relationships, and starting points for deeper transformation
  • Apply Parts Work in contexts that matter, including neurodiversity, DEI, and the broader ecological and social forces that shape us all
  • Bring your real client cases into a space where they can be explored, understood, and supported
  • Co-create the curriculum through your insights, needs, and emerging questions

You’ll learn from David Kitchings — a Lead Trainer with the IFS Institute who brought extraordinary wisdom and depth to his session in Symphony of Self.

David’s clarity, presence, and transmission of Self are unparalleled, revealing what’s possible when you take this work deeper into your being.

This program was born from you — our community — and what you shared you’re longing for…

A place to deepen, to embody what you’ve learned, and to live this work more fully in your coaching and your life.

This is that place.

Over years of dedicated practice, he has cultivated a profound mastery of Parts Work and embodied transformation, bringing an unparalleled depth of Self-Energy into every space he enters.

How it works

Symphony of Self: A Deepening is a 9-month online coach training, taught by David Kitchings.

Each session is live, and is designed to be highly experiential — so you can deeply integrate and embody the teachings. 

Much of the program’s depth comes from being in the room with David, and working with the other coaches — practicing together, connecting, and speaking from your lived experience. 

Of course, everything is recorded and downloadable, so you can come back anytime for deeper learning.

Here’s how it works…

  • The 12 core workshops are held on Zoom. Each session blends teaching, consultation, Q&A, and co-created exploration that responds to the needs and questions emerging within the group.
  • You’ll have the chance to bring your case studies and real client situations directly to David. This is where your unique questions, challenges, and contexts receive focused attention and become a living part of the learning process.
  • We’ll create transcripts for each session, so you can return to the material and deepen your understanding

You’ll have the opportunity to participate in carefully curated Practice Groups, so you can further integrate and embody the work through direct experience — practicing the tools with your peers and integrating IFS protocols in real time.

A live and interactive experience

All of the sessions will take place live via video workshop, where there will be the opportunity to discuss your learnings via breakout discussions, participate in powerful coaching demonstrations, and ask questions.
