Online: Self-Lovingkindness – A Day of Deep Practice
with Ralph De LaRosa
Saturday, November 20th, 2021 | 1:00pm – 5:00pm ET
The relationship we have to ourselves inside has a direct correlation to how we show up in our outer relationships, work, and free time. Self-love is so much more than “I am worthy” affirmations. It is an invitation to come home to our Buddha nature. It is a practice of healing, becoming more resilient, evolving our behaviors and discovering our purpose.
Join Internal Family Systems therapist and author Ralph De La Rosa, LCSW for an immersive half-day of self-love meditation. The day will include practice periods, lively discussions, and regular breaks from Zoom.

Teacher(s)
Ralph De La Rosa, LCSW
Ralph De La Rosa (they/he) is the author of three books, including the new Outshining Trauma: A New Vision of Radical Compassion (foreword by Richard Schwartz). He is a psychotherapist in private practice and a longtime meditation teacher known for his radically honest and humorous approach.
Perhaps most crucial is that Ralph walks the path of outshining trauma alongside the people he works with. He is a survivor of PTSD, heroin addiction, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, and liver failure. Walking through these matters with the help of profound therapists and mentors has been an empowerment no school could have offered. It is simply part of his path to offer back what he’s been shown.
Ralph has mentored personally with Richard Schwartz, founder of the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy, known for its efficacy in healing trauma. Ralph has completed an invite-only advanced teacher training with Jack Kornfield. His work has been featured in GQ, CNN, NY Post, Tricycle, Mindful Magazine, and beyond.
He began practicing meditation in 1996 and has trained in a spectrum of yogic and healing traditions, including devotional Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. Ralph began teaching Buddhist-inspired meditation in 2008. Today, Ralph identifies as practitioner and teacher of human spirituality. He teaches a highly specialized hybrid of IFS and Buddhism to offer students a direct path of conscious evolution and self-discovery.
Ralph is an intersectional activist, musician, wannabe acrobat, and outdoor enthusiast currently residing in Seattle, WA.
