Because this retreat is deeply immersive and experiential, participants are expected to have a foundational understanding of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model before attending. This familiarity will support your ability to engage fully in the teachings and guided practices, and to explore your own inner parts—and those of your partner(s)—with safety, openness, and care.

A limited number of scholarships are available to help make this retreat more accessible. If you and your partner(s) would like to attend but the cost is a barrier, we encourage you to apply.

These scholarships are intended to increase access for participants from historically marginalized communities, including Global Majority and LGBTQ+ individuals, who may face systemic barriers to attending retreats like this one. While all applicants are valued, priority will be given to those who have been historically underrepresented in IFS retreats.
