IFS is now a widely-used form of psychotherapy, particularly with trauma. Schwartz is currently on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
“When these parts are unburdened, and that healing happens, that’s actually what this healing process is in IFS – it is restoring the parts back to what they would have been had they not taken on the burden and the protection.” – Tamala Floyd, LCSW-BACS
“Just as individuals bring their legacy burdens that color their individual worlds, and interfere in their relationships, it’s writ large with countries.” – Dr. Richard Schwartz

Grandmother Flordemayo
Mayan Elder, Curandera, Universal Healer, Visionary, and Founder of The Path
Show More Info + Video Clip ▼Highlights from this session:
- The path and importance of ceremony, gathering, and prayer
- How Grandmother Flordemayo’s capacity to vision and dream beyond physical realms was developed and celebrated as a young girl, and how this gift circled back to her later in life to receive a divine message
- The impact and trauma of migration and illness through a lens of story
Born the youngest of 15 children in the highlands of Central America, Grandmother Flordemayo was found at an early age to have the gift of Sight. By age four, she was being trained in the art of Curanderismo, which had been handed down from mother to daughter for many generations. Currently, in addition to her independent work as a Universal Healer, featured speaker, and woman of prayer, she is the Founder of The Path, a 501(c)3 dedicated to the preservation of traditional knowledge and heritage seeds. Through her work with The Path, Flordemayo maintains a seed bank and holds gatherings to further educate and raise awareness of the importance of seeds. She works as a healer/curandera and considers her Mayan heritage a keystone of her work.
“When you’re a praying person, your life is a spiritual hike. As you walk any path, you pray, live, support, and listen to what has happened because the sacred places and lands have their own energy. These are collective energies from previous generations.” – Grandmother Flordemayo
