Guiding Inner Liberation for Outer Transformation
Stargazer Learning Collective exists because curiosity, equity, and the courage to look inward can change not just individuals, but entire organizations and the communities they serve.
We offer continuing education, clinical consultation, and experiential learning for mental health professionals and healing practitioners, rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and a genuine commitment to embodied, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed care.
We also believe that workplace cultures carry their own burdens — and hold the potential for their own unburdenings. For organizations ready to do that work, we design and facilitate unique and specialized trainings and staff retreats shaped entirely around your context, your people, and the transformation you're ready for.

Our Mission
To cultivate spaces of learning and reflection where professionals can reconnect with their Self-energy — the grounded, compassionate presence at the heart of effective care — and to promote anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and relationally attuned approaches to leadership and client care.
What We Offer
Continuing Education (CE) Trainings
Accredited CE courses blending IFS, ethics, cultural competence, and integrative frameworks for therapists, counselors, psychologists, social workers, and other healing professionals.
Workshops & Retreats
Experiential spaces for renewal, connection, and personal growth — supporting providers in cultivating resilience and compassion in times of systemic stress.
Consultation & Coaching
Individual and group consultation in IFS, clinical supervision, and leadership development rooted in curiosity, embodiment, and systemic awareness.
Collaborative Learning
Cross-disciplinary programs uniting mental health, medical, and community practitioners to build bridges toward holistic care.
Our Approach
At Stargazer Learning Collective, we honor learning as an inner and outer journey that integrates mind, body, and spirit. This integrally involves also recognizing the cultural, historical, and systemic contexts shaping our lives.
Our founders, Carissa and Sundaura, bring deep expertise in IFS, as they both completed Level 3 training through the IFS Institute and have over 15 years of combined experience using the model to treat complex trauma, alleviate depression and anxiety, facilitate relationship growth and healing. They have guided individuals, couples, families, and groups into deeper relationships with their inner worlds — releasing constraints to a more confident, connected, and liberated Self-led life.
Through experiential education, reflection, and dialogue, Carissa and Sundaura help participants not only understand transformation but embody it for themselves and those they serve.
