Pamela Krause - Self Energy and Self-Like Parts Retreat. October 2024. 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. October, 2024. 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. "

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! -

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, November, 2023. 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!!
