Terrilee Dalton

Terrilee Dalton, PhD, LCSW, CADC, is the founder of In the Beyond, a women's retreat center located on two beautiful acres in the forest on the Deschutes River in Olympia, WA. The retreat center is a gorgeous, contemporary home that offers a caring space for up to 10 women to live together on retreat, with options to tent camp and sleep under the stars on the deck, pergola, or next to the river.

In the Beyond is a retreat experience built around a relationship of trust in self in nature, leveraging Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, yoga, meditation, and a deep female community-based support model. Women of all ages and backgrounds are invited to bring their traumatized parts to Mother Nature for a week to work in groups, hike, and share fires, movement, and deep ideas while facing fears in an atmosphere of compassion. The retreat is a unique place where women can heal together in a safe environment attuned with equality and justice.

Offerings include four weeklong small group retreats per year (one per season), private one-on-one intensive retreats, and backpacking and walking pilgrimages throughout Washington. Terrilee also leads weeklong wilderness IFS retreats across the Sierras, Appalachians, Rockies, and Olympics. With 30 years of clinical work specializing in women's trauma and addictions, she brings a rare combination of doctoral-level clinical expertise, IFS Lead Trainer credentials, and addictions specialization to her work.
