Personal development and training course
We are deeply relational beings. We thrive on respectful and loving human connection.
Closeness with partners, friends, family, or community can also become triggering and painful. The more important the other person is to us, the greater our desire to be met by them; the more insecure or entitled we may feel, both leading to disconnection. A lack of connection, though sometimes experienced as “safe,” presents its own set of disappointments and challenges.
Have you noticed that when you truly long for closeness, you may try to change yourself or the other to get your needs met? Do you minimize your hopes and desires, withdrawing or isolating instead?
A 5-day retreat with additional training day option
In important relationships do you tend to:
- Stay on guard to avoid being dominated or controlled by another’s intentions?
- Fear losing the other if you truly follow your own perception and needs?
- Worry about being inadequate or wrong, leading you to constantly improve yourself?
- Fear feeling unwanted or unloved, so you give too much of yourself?
- Push yourself to achieve in order to prove your worth?
- Intensify your feelings, as if they define your depth and uniqueness?
- Prefer retreating into thought, figuring life out in your head to avoid helplessness?
- Seek security and loyalty to compensate for feeling unsupported and unsafe?
- Fear missing out or being trapped, compelling you to chase the next thing?
These are strategies we acquired early in life to gain appreciation and love, or to minimize feelings of shame, fear, and pain.
Healing Attachment Wounds offers a way beyond dated habits. With respect for what has brought us here, we soften into who we truly are. We open to embodied self-love, empowerment, and to meeting ourselves and others with fresh understanding and creativity.
Healing Attachment Wounds offers a way beyond habits that may keep you safe but small, tight, or not truly met.

For Retreat Participants (Five Full Days)
Is it possible to stay present and connected even when we want to withdraw, lash out, or avoid the messiness of relationship altogether? The answer is yes: Presence with ourselves and others, along with secure attachment, are learnable skills. Relational resilience guides us away from chaos (being flooded by emotion) or rigidity (defending against feeling) and toward a grounded inner sense of support and connection.
Your nervous system can learn to accommodate your changing states and needs. When we honor our needs for intimacy and sovereignty both we can respond to who matters most to us with ease, love and clarity.
This gentle, deep and resourcing retreat opens the door to profound self-understanding and new pathways to love.
This is a non-residential retreat. If you are travelling to participate you will need to arrange your own accommodation in the area.
This retreat is designed as a Path of Love Introductory Course, as well as a Graduate Workshop.

The Somato-Relational Training (Six Full Days)
Healing Attachment Wounds offers tools for self-compassion and relational health, rooted in 35 years of experience in somatic developmental trauma healing. It draws on the principles of Path Retreats, IPNB (Interpersonal Neurobiology), Somatic Experiencing (SE), attachment research, Reich’s personality development stages, essence work and mindfulness.
An evolving understanding of somatic tools will expand your capacity to address clients’ core attachment wounds. You will lean into facilitating hypo-or hyper-aroused attachment system regulation, widening the window of tolerance so that deep and changing needs can be renegotiated in customized ways.
Meeting our client’s attachment wounds with skill and respect is possible when we, as therapists and coaches, are able to regulate and integrate in times of relational distress. Through the training process, you may uncover deeper healing within yourself and find the appropriate stance to guide individuals as they create coherent relational fields that support their lives and needs.
This is a non-residential retreat. If you are travelling to participate you will need to arrange your own accommodation in the area.
This retreat is designed as a Path of Love Introductory Course as well as a Graduate Workshop. If you are interested in participating as a trainee, please reach out to ixchel@pathretreats.com for further info regarding the curriculum.
