Many of our on-going struggles in life stem from old emotional wounds that are stuck in our sub-conscious. Because they live below the level of the thinking mind, it is extremely difficult for us to think our way past them. This retreat combines the practices of yoga, art and time spent in nature to sink below the thinking mind and tend to the hurting places inside. The retreat also incorporates concepts from Internal Family Systems (IFS) as a framework for understanding and working with the hurting parts of our psyches.

This retreat is for anyone longing for fuller embodiment, aliveness and health. "Including the body story along with the verbal story illuminates and awakens what has been obscured in darkness." Susan McConnell, IFS Senior Lead Trainer since 1997 and founder/developer of Somatic IFS.

This retreat is open to all regardless of experience. There will be group practices and discussion as well as time for you to wander the beautiful grounds of GilChrist.
