This transformative workshop offers us an inspiring experiential exploration of our inner landscapes, with the intention of working with our legacy and cultural burdens and blessings. Participants will be given a rich opportunity to explore the burdens and blessings that we carry both from our ancestors and our culture.
We will spend our time together in experiential meditations and embodiment practices, sculpting our parts and sharing deeply with each other in the sacred space of our collective self energy. At the same time, we will also deepen into our relationships with our Whole and Well ancestors, often going way back in our ancestral lines.
On Sunday we will culminate our time together with a grief ritual for our ancestors.
Come join us in this deep and intimate exploration of our cultural burdens, our blessings and our ancestral lines.
Single, double, and shared (3 or more) rooms will be available, as well as yurt, camping and commuter options. Details available soon.

Please note that this is not a formal training course, and is not intended as a didactic training on how to apply this information in your work with other people. Retreats are designed to enhance your life, support your personal growth and promote well-being. That being said, engaging in experiential activities and getting more familiar with your own internal system is a wonderful way to learn the IFS model and continue to deepen your proficiency with it professionally.
While there will be no "traditional" CE’s for this retreat, we will be asking the IFS Institute to approve this retreat for 20.5 hours of IFS-Institute CE's.
