ASEST is proud to announce that we are joining with IFS Canada to provide a truly international training opportunity! Tim Amaral and IFSCA's Mel Galbraith are teaming up to deliver a master class open to anyone who would like to explore how to make the learning experience more positive, productive, and even a little healing.

In this workshop, we will learn how the principles of the Internal Family Systems therapeutic model (IFS) can foster a supportive, empowering, and collaborative learning environment. Perfect for teachers, trainers, and leaders--anyone passionate about creating spaces where students thrive as their most authentic, self-led selves.

Join us online via Zoom on Friday, June 27 as we immerse ourselves in the transformative experience that is the SELf-Led Classroom.

This workshop will be recorded and made available for 6 months to participants as well as those unable to attend the live event. Fees start at $30

The Going Inside Podcast

In the first of two powerful episodes of Going Inside, trauma therapist John Clarke sits down with award-winning educator Tim Amaral to explore how trauma-informed practices can transform education. Tim shares his journey from martial arts instructor to adult educator, revealing the development of the Self-Led Classroom model and its deep integration of IFS (Internal Family Systems) principles.

Together, they discuss how safety, connection, and a sense of belonging are essential for meaningful learning. If you've ever questioned traditional education or wondered how to reach students or clients who’ve been left behind, this episode will expand your perspective—and your heart.

This is the second of the two episodes that will be available soon on John Clarke's website and YouTube channel
