Soliman Bay, Mexico
RESERVE MY SPOT

This is not only about becoming a better therapist.

It’s about remembering who you are: whole, worthy, luminous.
THIS RETREAT INVITES YOU TO
  • Release the old cycles handed down by family, culture, and the trauma field itself 
  • Journey inward through embodied parts work and archetypal exploration
  •  Find your village of healers and kindred spirits who see you
  • Sink into deep rest with nourishment, spaciousness, and soul-level tending
  • Rise renewed with wisdom, clarity, and a way of working that honors your whole being
THE SETTING

 A private oceanfront villa, where airy practice spaces open to the sea breeze. 

Where you can move between pool, hot tub, gardens, and the turquoise waters of Soliman Bay.

Where rest and ritual come together in one sacred container.

THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF

  • You feel disillusioned by a trauma field that prizes knowledge over wisdom
  • You’re weary of hustling in a culture built on scarcity, urgency, and hierarchy
  • You crave deep rest, soul spaciousness, and nourishing connection
  • You are an Mental Health Clinician ready to step into a new season of your work: one guided by your inner elder, not your inner performer
 More than just another training

Our retreats will help you move beyond performance into presencewisdom alo the circle you’ve always longed for.

WHAT AWAITS YOU

IRIS retreats are created by therapists, for therapists. We blend continuing education with deep personal renewal, so you walk away nourished in body, grounded in spirit, and strengthened in the presence you bring to your clients and your life.

  • Embodied rest: the kind where your whole body exhales, “I can let go now.”

  • Creative nourishment: reigniting play, curiosity, and soulfulness.

  • True connection: with other therapists who aren’t performing competence.

  • Permission: to be messy, unpolished, undone, and still deeply held.

WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH
  • A tender, compassionate embrace of the parts that have shaped your journey

  • A beautifully guided journal of prompts, insights, and reflections

  • A renewed trust in your body, intuition, and the work that calls you

  • The rare gift of being held—not as a helper, but as a whole, radiant human

  • A circle of belonging among others courageously doing their own work

  • Individualized mentorship that nourishes your spirit and expands your presence

  • 12 Continuing Education Credits (includes an advanced course of your choosing from IRIS)

This retreat isn’t an escape. It’s a sacred tending.

You’re not stepping away from the work - you’re stepping deeper into it

and returning more whole.

WHY CHOOSE AN

IRIS TRAINING COLLECTIVE RETREAT

 IRIS retreats are created by therapists, for therapists. We know the weight of holding others, the exhaustion of over-performing, and the longing for spaces that truly nourish the healer as a whole human.

 

What Makes Our Retreats Different:
Rooted in Depth

We weave together EMDR, parts work, archetypal exploration, and somatic practice. This is not surface-level self-care - it’s deep tending to the soul of the therapist.

 

Wisdom over Performance

We are not here to give you more skills to manage but will guide you back to your own inner wisdom, intuition, and embodied leadership.

 

 True Community

So many therapists feel isolated, competing, or performing. At IRIS retreats, we create a circle of belonging where you are not just a helper, but a human, fully seen and supported.

 

Professional Nourishment

Our retreats are designed to expand your personal healing and your professional presence. You’ll leave renewed in spirit, grounded in your body, and carrying Continuing Education Credits toward your growth.

 

A New Paradigm

We are building what we've always wanted for ourselves: attentive mentorship, spaciousness, and community doing the work alongside you

ARRIVAL AND DAILY RHYTHM

Your journey begins the moment you arrive at Casa Yardena, greeted by the sound of waves and the warmth of the ocean breeze. From here, each day unfolds with a gentle rhythm designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit.

Mornings 

Mornings begin softly with sunrise over Soliman Bay, quiet reflection, nourishing breakfasts, and guided practices like beachfront yoga, mindful walks, and meditation that open the day with presence.

 

Midday

Midday is for depth-oriented sessions in airy practice spaces, woven with somatic practices, embodied parts work, and rich community rituals.

 

Afternoons

Afternoons invite spaciousness, swim in the turquoise sea, rest by the pool, wander villa gardens, surrender to a healing spa treatment, or go on an adventure of cenote exploration outside of the villa

 

Evenings 

Evenings gather us in circle, sharing wisdom, honoring the day’s insights, and savoring slow meals prepared with care. As night falls, the sound of the ocean cradles you into rest, ready to rise again renewed.
