Pathways to Self: An IFS Informed Retreat
NATURE | CONNECTION | YOGA | IFS
September 22-24, 2023
Forestburg, TX
We all have parts, and when we know their story, we can help them from a place of compassion, intentional Self-care and Self energy. Get ready for an exhilarating itinerary of personal growth, experiential learning, and chef prepared meals planned for you, by your hosts Mark & Tricia.
All parts are Welcome!
You’ll leave with new pathways to Self-awareness where your parts are valued, loved and nurtured. There will also be time to explore the 160 acres, hike trails, embrace the power of yoga (all levels welcome), or simply rest in a hammock and watch the sunset! This is a wonderful retreat space on sacred land that is an integral part of the vibe that will be created with your tribe.
Experience Awe, Ahhh’s, and Aha’s!
