Soulful Sisterhood Collective’s
IFS Women’s Medicine Circle Retreat
“When women come together and make a commitment to each other to be in a circle with a spiritual center, they are creating a vessel of healing and transformation for themselves, and a vehicle for change in their world.”
- Jean Shinoda Bolen
Beloved Women…
The world is calling for your unique gifts!
This sacred circle is intended to nurture and ignite your soul, empowering you to step into your purpose. Women are the force that will heal and transform the world, and through connection, we awaken our collective power and remember our true essence. We are stronger together. Let us awaken our strength and remember who we truly are. With hearts united, we can walk each other home.
What Makes Hearts Path Wellness Retreats Unique?
Our retreats blend ceremonial elements with therapeutic practices from Western traditions, including the psychotherapeutic use of plant medicines and psychedelics. With a focus on trauma-informed care and group dynamics, we create a safe, compassionate space that is particularly supportive for those with a history of trauma or mental health challenges. Our approach incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), Creative Arts Therapy, embodiment, singing and voice work, journaling, and group process to support reflection and growth.
Unlike more traditional ceremonial settings, we emphasize preparation and integration, essential yet often overlooked aspects of the healing process. This focus is woven throughout the weekend retreat and extends to the time before and after the experience. A week before the retreat, we host a Zoom preparation call to foster group connection and safety. After the retreat, we offer a follow-up integration call and ongoing individual or group integration support for those who wish to deepen their healing journey.
We believe integration is the most vital phase of the process, as it allows participants to fully embody and apply the insights and gifts revealed during the medicine journey. This thoughtful and holistic approach sets the foundation for meaningful transformation and lasting change.

“A circle of women may just be the most powerful force known to humanity. If you have one, embrace it. If you need one, seek it. If you find one, for the love of all that is good and holy, dive in. Hold on. Love it up. Get Naked. Let them see you. Let them hold you. Let your reluctant tears fall. Let yourself rise fierce and love gentle. You will be changed. The very fabric of your being will be altered by this, if you allow it. Please, please allow it.”
