Spirit In The Desert Retreat Center
Carefree (Phoenix), Arizona
Virginia Satir’s pioneering work with individuals and families reflected her deep belief in people’s innate goodness and their potential for growth and change. She was a humanistic visionary whose work sparked decades of teaching, training, and transforming people and communities. Through experiential techniques she emphasized the importance of self-esteem, healthy communication, and the influence of family systems on individual well-being. Her legacy invites us to embody peace within ourselves, in our relationships, and in the systems we touch.
In the stark beauty and quiet wisdom of the desert, near Phoenix, we gather to explore what it truly means tolive the spirit of Satir. As the world wrestles with uncertainty and disconnection, this conference calls us to return to the core of Satir’s vision — creating harmony from the inside out.
Through experiential workshops, shared stories, and community connection, we will deepen our understanding of Satir’s principles and explore how they live in us today. Whether you are a long-time practitioner, newly inspired by Satir, or interested in exploring this work for the first time, you will find space to learn, renew, and contribute.
The Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center in Carefree, Arizona is a 50-minute ride northeast from Phoenix.
