Yoga & IFS Day Retreat for Women

🌸 Reclaiming the True Self: An IFS-Informed Yoga Day Retreat for Women

• with Mercy B and Anne Laderman

Date: Sunday August 3rd
Time:  10am-3pm
Location: West Olympia, Washington

Step into sacred space and reconnect with the wisdom, wholeness, and wildness of your inner world. This day-long retreat is an invitation for women to pause, turn inward, and reclaim the radiance of the True Self — the grounded, compassionate presence that lives beneath all our parts.

Guided by the transformational tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and the embodied awareness of Yoga, we will explore the sacred terrain of the inner feminine, honoring the many parts that make us who we are — and allowing the Self to lead with grace, clarity, and calm.

This retreat is an elevated, deepened experience that builds on the IFS-informed Yoga offerings we’ve co-led in the past — designed for women ready to integrate their inner work with embodied practice in a soul-nourishing and supportive space.

✨ What You’ll Experience:

• Morning Yoga with Anne
  A gentle, grounding practice custom tailored to meet the needs and desires of all women who are present to awaken body and breath. Set your intention for the day and invite your Self energy forward.

• Internal Family Systems Exploration
  Mercy will guide you in IFS-informed reflection and journaling practices to help you connect with your inner parts and cultivate compassionate inner leadership.

• Yin Yoga + Parts Dialogue
  Slow down and soften into stillness as you explore your inner landscape. This session blends long-held yin poses with guided inner inquiry.

• Brown-Bag Community Lunch
  Bring your own nourishing lunch and share in community connection. We’ll eat together and hold space for integration and rest.

• Optional Group Ritual Swim at a Nearby Lake
  Close the day with a symbolic plunge into the waters of renewal. This sacred swim offers a powerful way to embody your intentions and reemerge feeling connected, refreshed, and whole.

💫 For Women Ready to:

• Deepen their connection with Self

• Befriend and integrate their inner parts

• Honor the Divine Feminine in all its forms

• Rest, reconnect, and rise

Whether you’re new to IFS and yoga or well along your path, this retreat welcomes you exactly as you are.

• Journal + pen

• Comfortable yoga clothes

• Yoga mat

• Water bottle
