Remembering Ourselves Home: A 5-Day Retreat for Women

Experience a soulful, experiential retreat designed for women who are IFS-informed and ready to reconnect with their vision, soul calling, and life purpose.

Welcome all woman-identifying, IFS-informed students and professionals

As we transition from one stage to the next, women often face obstacles in realizing our full potential. This workshop will allow each woman, no matter our age or phase in life, to break down those barriers and step into their authentic power. Through movement, art, writing, time in nature, and deep connection, you'll:

• Break through inner barriers
• Reclaim your personal and authentic power
• Identify and shift blocks to manifesting your calling
• Reflect and be witnessed in heartfelt community

Reconnect to your personal power through this experiential retreat

Remembering Ourselves Home offers a space to reflect, reset, and reclaim your personal power.

Through movement, art, writing, time in nature, and heartfelt connection, you'll experience a mix of:

• Teachings rooted in Internal Family Systems
• Intimate sharing and group process
• Movement and somatic practices
• Nature-based connection and reflection
• Creative expression and personal ritual

Meet our speakers

About our facilitators

Kathy Cox, MSW, LICSW, and Kay Gardner, MSW, LCP, are senior IFS Lead Trainers with decades of experience in psychotherapy and group facilitation. Together, they offer an embodied, compassionate teaching style that supports deep personal and collective healing.

Kathy Cox, MSW, LICSW

Kathy Cox, MSW, LICSW, is a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist and Lead IFS Trainer. She has been a social worker and psychotherapist for 30 years and has been deeply immersed in IFS for more than 20 years.

Kathy believes that our most important life task is to bring our unique gifts into the world. Frequently, painful life experiences — traumatic events, attachment wounds, societal injustices — take precious life energy that limits our ability to bring these gifts into the world. Kathy feels called to support people to lessen or remove emotional, cognitive, or spiritual barriers that limit their full participation in life. This includes addressing and working with the impact of systemic racism and other societal forces on one's life.

Kathy has a special interest in trauma, grief and loss, and spirituality, and is known for her humor and warmth. She lives in Olympia, Washington where, in addition to being outside in her beloved forests, mountains, and waters, she offers IFS training and consultation to therapists learning Internal Family Systems.

Kay Gardner, MSW, LCP

Kay Gardner, MSW, LCP, is a gifted and heartfelt presenter who brings a body-centered and spiritual approach to her work. She is a senior Lead Trainer for Internal Family Systems (IFS) and has practiced IFS since 1991. Prior to her work with IFS, she was a therapist and a teacher of Hakomi Body Centered Psychotherapy.

Kay is also a founder of The Women's Circle, a women's program in Chicago, and has also led various workshops around the country for men and women including Persephone's Journey; Men and Their Mothers; Women and Their Fathers; and Legacy Burdens. She has a passion for bringing a body-centered theater approach to her work and has found it remarkably beneficial to the groups and individuals she's worked with.
