In 2026, we are offering a retreat in May. Many, but not all, attendees are therapists, psychologists or similar.
Those of you who have not completed an IFS introductory workshop will be offered a space in a workshop prior to the retreat, included in the retreat price. Please see the introduction to IFS link for training dates and times.
The 3 days will be held in Croston Old School, Lancashire.
Accomodation will be in shared local cottages many within walking distance, some a short drive. You will have your own private room within a cottage or house shared with one, two or three other retreat participants.
The experience will be held within the Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) model and blended with body practices informed by Polyvagal Theory to release Self energy, inner and outer resourcing for your personal healing and growth. Somatic work to heal trauma held within the body, sound healing and spiritual yoga practices will be offered alongside IFS in action within a connected and safe group space.
Therapy NorthWest is proud that this retreat will encompass:
A retreat where all parts of you are truly welcome and held.

Body focused practices to access safety, connection and self compassion.
