9 – 14 March 2026
A relational, in-person retreat integrating psychological shadow work, contemplative realization, and developmental maturity—with community at the center.
The Gathering is a 6‑day in‑person immersion exploring three interwoven dimensions of human wholeness: Shadow (psychological integration), States (awakening / contemplative realization), and Stages (developmental perspective and maturity). The Gathering is a 6‑day immersive retreat exploring the synergy of three essential dimensions of consciousness:
Rather than treating these as separate paths, The Gathering explores them as interwoven strands of one living process. Many sincere practitioners stall—not because they lack effort, but because bypassing takes subtle forms. Guided by Dr. Terri O’Fallon, Kim Barta, and Kimberley Theresa Lafferty, this retreat supports participants in noticing and reducing common forms of bypassing—spiritual, developmental, and psychological—while cultivating grounded insight, ethical embodiment, and real community.
Who it’s for: The Gathering is designed for leaders, practitioners, and seekers committed to evolutionary awakening—especially those with prior experience in meditation, personal development, coaching, therapy, or contemplative practice. It may be particularly meaningful for those sensing an “invisible ceiling,” stabilizing meta‑aware capacities, or longing for a community where awakening does not become isolating.
What you can expect: a carefully held container; time for reflection and integration; practices that bring insight into relationship and daily life; and a community of peers oriented toward maturity, shared depth, and ethical embodiment.
Pioneer in developmental shadow work and cofounder of STAGES International. Kim bridges psychology, shamanic wisdom, and human development to transform the unconscious into light.

Teacher-practitioner integrating IndoTibetan Vajrayana with developmental psychology. A recognized Lama, educator mystic and founder of The Confluence Experience.
Terri, Kim, and Kimberley will shine a light on bypassing and blind spots that limit our growth.
· Spiritual bypassing looks like wonderful states that have no staying power, spiritual speak without the ethics, relative reality problems. You’ve so focused on the light, it’s easy to deny or reify parts, beliefs, shadows, identities. You believe you are the weather when indeed you are the sky.
· Stages bypassing looks like culture wars, or interpersonal fighting when you can’t see the other person’s perspective, so you miss each other entirely. You are reaching for the stars without being able to stay there. Seeing divine wisdom while failing to live it.
· Psychological Shadow bypassing looks like diving deep into the murky waters, and getting lost there, stuck in harmful habits, addictions, or compulsions, feeling dragged by the hair or freezing in confusion, cycling over and over again in the mud without letting it transform you into the golden light you are.
In this revolutionary program, we collectively address all 3 forms of bypassing to accelerate personal and collective healing and inspiration.

This is Your Sacred Invitation
Into a Retreat For the Woman Who…
For The Woman Who:
…Remembers there is a place within.
Not the version of you the world sees.
Not the one holding it all together.
But the one who longs to exhale.
To return.
To root.
To rise—not in force, but in truth.
Rooted in somatic practice, earth-based healing, and deep inner anchoring, this retreat invites you to rise from the inside out.
This is a sacred return.
A remembering.
A rising that begins below the surface and touches every part of who you are.
This is a return to the ground of your own being.
A rooted, embodied reclamation of the woman you’ve always been.
For the woman ready to anchor into her truth and rise whole.
Secure Your spot or Learn
Release what’s been weighing on your mind and spirit. This soul-aligned retreat offers practical tools and guided support to explore patterns of thought and behavior, release beliefs and habits that no longer serve you, and cultivate confidence, purpose, and a life of intention and fulfillment.
Inspired by the book, Dissolving the Anchor: Untethering Dysphoria and Self-Doubt to Create an Empowered Life.
Who this retreat is for: This retreat is for individuals seeking clarity, alignment, and a more sustainable way of living and leading—whether in work, relationships, or personal life. It’s especially supportive for professionals, caregivers, creatives, and leaders navigating change or feeling stretched, and who want practical tools—not quick fixes—for emotional, mental, and inner well-being through guided reflection, experiential practices, and meaningful integration.
