Sacred Spaces Within: An IFS-Informed Yoga and Meditation Retreat for Women
Step into a sanctuary of self-discovery and healing at Sacred Spaces Within, a transformative women’s retreat grounded in the principles of Internal Family Systems (IFS), yoga, and mindful meditation. Hosted in a serene and supportive environment, this retreat invites you to connect with your inner parts, awaken your Self-energy, and cultivate integrated healing through embodied practice.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed Practices
At the heart of this retreat lies practices informed by IFS, a therapeutic model that fosters deep self-awareness and healing by recognizing the many “parts” that make up your inner world. Through gentle guidance and IFS informed inquiry, you’ll learn to identify and connect with these parts—whether they are protective, wounded, or nurturing—and cultivate a compassionate relationship with each. By accessing your innate Self-energy, you’ll create harmony within, allowing space for profound transformation and inner peace.
Mindful Meditation
Mindful meditation practices will serve as an anchor throughout the retreat, helping you cultivate presence, clarity, and inner stillness. Through guided sessions, you’ll deepen your awareness of the present moment, explore the intricate relationship between breath and body, and learn tools to be with all parts of yourself with loving awareness.
Yoga Practices: Flow and Yin Yoga
Yoga will be a central part of your retreat experience, blending dynamic and restorative practices to nurture the body and mind.
· All Levels Flow Yoga: These active, flowing sessions are designed to energize and strengthen your body while fostering a sense of grounding and focus. You’ll move through sequences that synchronize breath and movement, promoting alignment, strength, flexibility, stability, and a clear mind. Flow yoga encourages you to embody your Self-energy and create a smoother connection between your physical and emotional self.
· Yin Yoga: In contrast, yin yoga invites you into stillness and deep relaxation. Through longer-held, passive postures, you’ll target connective tissues, release tension, and create space for introspection. This deeply meditative practice complements the inward journey of IFS, offering a sacred container for emotional release and healing.
Natural Hot Springs
In addition to these transformative practices, you’ll have the opportunity to soak in the healing waters of natural hot springs, allowing their warmth to soothe your body and mind. Surrounded by the ancient beauty of an old-growth forest, you’ll feel a deep connection to nature that fosters a sense of grounding and renewal.
Delicious Vegetarian Meals
Throughout the retreat, you’ll enjoy three nourishing, delicious vegetarian meals each day, carefully prepared to support your physical well-being and enhance your journey inward. Each meal is crafted with fresh, wholesome ingredients, offering vibrant flavors and nutrients to fuel your practices and sustain you throughout the day.
A Safe and Supportive Community of Women
You will be held by a circle of women who share a commitment to self-discovery and growth. Together, we will create a space of mutual support and understanding, cultivating a sense of connection that enhances your journey inward.
Whether you are seeking personal transformation, emotional healing, or a deeper connection to your True Self, this retreat offers a pathway to rediscover the sanctuary that already exists within you.
Reconnect, heal, and discover the power of your Sacred Spaces Within.
