​TRANSCENDING TRAUMA - A 6 DAY RESIDENTIAL RETREAT WITH DR FRANK ANDERSON IN COSTA RICA JANUARY 4 - 9, 2026

Working with clients who suffer from complex PTSD can often feel like being on a roller coaster. The extreme reactions, multiple comorbidities, difficulty with boundary issues and volatility in relationships make these clients challenging even for the most skilled therapists. Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy has a unique way of addressing and overcoming the complexities of relational trauma. 

Applications are now open for this retreat in Costa Rica from January 4 - 9, 2026.

​THE POWER OF THE SELF, DISTINGUISHING SELF-ENERGY FROM SELF-LIKE PARTS IN AVON, CONNECTICUT, MAY 17-21, 2026

This retreat is designed to help you explore what Self-leadership means to you – the felt sense of it.  So, you can answer those questions for yourself in a clearer more embodied way.

We’ll start by getting curious about the nature of the Self and how you experience it in your own system. As part of that deepening awareness we will explore parts that masquerade as the Self and sometimes even believe they are the Self.

Applications are now open for this retreat in Connecticut from May 17-21, 2026.

We would love to invite you to The Therapist's Inheritance Retreat with Tamala Floyd—a thoughtfully curated experience designed for IFS-trained therapists and practitioners.

By working with your own legacy material, you’ll deepen your healing and become even more resourced to support your clients as they navigate their generational trauma and begin to access their own legacy gifts.

Applications are now open for this retreat in Portugal from May 24-29, 2026.

Pamela Krause - Self Energy and Self-Like Parts Retreat -Ireland.

An incredible, heartwarming and growth experience. Pam's warmth and generous sharing of wisdom was a thrill to experience. Ciara and Souliology are fantastic and professional. I cannot fault this retreat. I have many wonderful memories to take home and knowledge/insight to integrate my work and personal IFS therapy. Very grateful. Well worth the expense and distance travelled.

Daniel Foor - Ancestral Lineage Healing Retreat - Northern Ireland.

The ancestral healing retreat was a powerful dive into liberating access to a part of me that I didn't even know was repressed, explicitly access to my ancestral heritage and lineage. Daniel is a skilled facilitator with great gifts and clear mastery in the craft of healing ancestral lineage. If you have an interest in connecting with your heritage, I highly recommend studying with Daniel. "

Slowing down and opening up! My body is still connecting into the deep healing from the SIFS Retreat and my system feels very calm. Ciara, you were a fabulous host, and thank you to Susan and the team for the wonderful SIFS experience, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Toni Herbine-Blank - Getting to the Heart of the Matter - A Couples Retreat -  Ireland.

Our retreat experience was outstanding! Ciara was masterful at taking care of the details so that the group could be fully present with the content. Toni, the retreat leader, was so excellent, I really don't have good enough words to describe. Far above and beyond our expectations, and we came away deeply nourished and enriched. Simply wonderful! -

Kay Gardner - A Legacy Burden Retreat - Ireland.

My time at this retreat was one of the best weeks of my life. It was the perfect combination of travel, relaxation, learning, and healing. You can tell when an organization is run straight from the heart and Souliology is from the heart, and for the soul.

Ann Sinko - The Grief retreat - Ireland.

This is the best IFS training I have ever been on. I've met some fabulous people who will be in my life forever. Thank you :)

A lovely time. My only criticism is the hotel in the city. A country location would have supported the grief work better.

Thank you for all you do! 

Thanks so much!!
