Summer Convention

The Summer Convention is the highlight of the year's activities for the IPA. We meet in a secluded location for a week of workshops, deep feeling work, swimming, dance, art, body work, community events, and many other activities. All are welcome to join us.

Spring Retreat

Wednesday, May 14-Sunday, May 18, 2008
Germantown, NY

The IPA Spring Retreat is an opportunity for all of us involved in primal-style process to get together in community, enjoy ourselves, and practice. It is open to anyone interested, though members pay a discounted rate.

To register for the retreat, click here for the flyer and registration form, or contact to receive a flyer in the mail.

The four-day retreat offers men's and women's groups, small group sharing, daily primal group (Mat Track), and therapeutic workshops on a variety of topics, and much more. Evenings are filled with jam sessions, singing, dancing, cabaret presentations, games, and community sharing.

The IPA Spring Retreat is a prototype for small, self-supporting, regional community gatherings and proves that we can meet close to home in an affordable way. To strengthen our international community, the IPA Board of Directors encourages members from other regions in the United States, Canada, and around the world to put on small, self-supporting IPA retreats using our existing guidelines. If you are interested in organizing a retreat in your area, contact us for more information.

Board and Committee Meetings

These organizational functions provide members with an opportunity to work on projects together and develop competence in applying IPA philosophy to everyday life. Board meetings are held four times a year and are open to all members. Committees are created by the Board as necessary and non-Board members are encouraged to become active on these committees.

Volunteer Opportunities

The IPA is run solely by volunteers. Board members (volunteers themselves) are responsible for getting things done, but would not be able to accomplish everything without the help of volunteers from the membership. Volunteers are particularly needed for the Summer Convention and Spring Retreat. If you are interested in helping us out, email volunteers@primals.org
